What a Win for the Commanders

No one game the Commanders much of a chance against the Detroit Lions, but people seemed to overlook just how good Jayden Daniels is, and just how bad the Lions defense defense was. The defense struggled, but it didn’t matter because the offense scored 45 points and they ended up winning by 14 points. Daniels completed 22 of his 31 passes for 299 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Brian Robinson Jr also had a strong game putting up 77 yards and two touchdowns. Austin Ekler has been a perfect addition for this team and he finished with six carries for 47 yards. Terry McLaurin is having the best year of his career and he caught four passes for 87 yards and a touchdown. 

The Commanders are averaging 28.5 points while their defense is giving up 23 points per game. The offense is ranked 5th in the league while the defense is ranked 18th. One big issue heading into this game is that starting right guard Sam Cosmi is dealing with a torn ACL and he is now out for the season.

Why the Commanders Will Win

• The Commanders have won each of their last six January road games against NFC opponents.
• The Commanders have covered the spread in each of their last four games against teams that held a winning record.
• The Eagles have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five home games when playing with a rest disadvantage.

Eagles Pulled it Out

The Eagles weren’t exactly dominant against the LA Rams, and especially late in the game they tried to blow it a couple of times, but they were still able to pick up the 28-22 victory. No one can stop Saquon Barkley and he finished with 26 carries for 205 yards and two touchdowns. Jalen Hurts had a couple of decisions that were questionable but he still completed 15 of his 20 passes for 128 yards. Nick Sirianni also made a couple of questionable decisions and he is going to need to be better here. 

The Eagles on the season is averaging 27.2 points while their defense is giving up 17.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 7th in the league while the defense is ranked 2nd. Jalen Carter had a huge game against the Rams and they are going to need the defense to step up in a big way here. 

Total Facts

• Each of the Eagles’ last six January games as favorites against NFC East opponents have gone UNDER the total points line.
• Six of the Commanders’ last seven January games against NFC East opponents have gone UNDER the total points line.

Washington Commanders vs Philadelphia Eagles Prediction

Give me the Commanders here, and I don’t mean you are going to need the points, they are goin to win this game outright. First let’s start with Jayden Daniels who is playing with all kinds of confidence right now. He might not throw for as many years as he did against the Lions, but he’s going to still have a big game here. You know Siranni is going to make a bonehead play or two, and it’s going to be the Commanders that are going to advance to the Super Bowl with a rookie quarterback. Back the Commanders on the money line.
