Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Commanders Preview & Picks

Philadelphia are backed to cover as they clinch the NFC East crown

Saquon Barkley and dominant defense has been the recipe for victory during their red-hot run of form, which includes a win over Washington, and we expect more of the same here.

  • Philadelphia Eagles are on a 10-game win streak
  • Philadelphia Eagles are 7-2-0 ATS in their last 9 games
  • Philadelphia Eagles are 12-3 in the last 15 meetings
  • The Under has cashed in 5 of Philadelphia’s last 6 games

Head To Head

  • Washington Commanders lead the all-time series 89-86-6
  • Philadelphia Eagles won 26-18 when the two teams last met on November 14

Philadelphia Eagles Form

Philadelphia are one of the hottest teams in the NFL right now, having reeled off 10 straight wins to reach 12-2.

The Eagles split their first four games of the season, but they have not lost since the 33-16 defeat at Tampa Bay in Week 4.

They rebounded with a 20-16 win over Cleveland, and backed that up on the road by beating the New York Giants 28-3 and Cincinnati 37-17.

Philadelphia then sandwiched a 34-6 win at Dallas with home wins over Jacksonville, 28-23, and Washington, 26-18.

The Eagles went out on the road after that to beat the Los Angeles Rams 37-20 and Baltimore 24-19, before returning home to take their streak to 10 games with a 22-16 win over Carolina and a 27-13 victory over Pittsburgh.

Washington Commanders Form

Washington enter this matchup knowing they must win to have any hope of claiming the NFC East crown.

The Commanders opened the season with a defeat at Tampa Bay, but responded strongly as they won seven of their next eight games to put themselves firmly in the playoff race.

That good run stalled in November though, starting with a 28-27 defeat when they entertained Pittsburgh.

Washington then went out on the road to lose 26-18 at division rivals Philadelphia, before returning home for a shock 34-26 loss to another NFC East foe, Dallas.

The Commanders have steadied the ship in December though, following up a 42-19 blowout of Tennessee with a 20-19 victory in New Orleans. 

Verdict

Philadelphia are on a roll and have dominated Washington over the past several seasons.

They have been stacking up wins and covers over the past couple of months, and that trend is tipped to continue here.
