Commanders vs. Eagles Predictions For Thursday Night Football, NFL Week 11

NFC East rivalries rarely disappoint, and after having just had the Eagles vs. Cowboys game do just that last Sunday, we’re hoping it’s out of the way. Regardless, the Commanders and Eagles have had some epic matchups as recently as last season.

They had 38-31 and 34-31 battles, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see plenty of fireworks on Thursday night, especially with how much Washington has improved. With them sitting at 7-3 and Philly at 7-2, this game could absolutely decide the NFC East come season’s end.

While we very well may see plenty of points yet again, but for the top pick from our Commanders vs. Eagles predictions, we’ll be taking you through an even more specific approach!

 

 

 

Washington Commanders: Competition Standards

To preface everything to come - the Commanders have been the positive surprise story of the NFL this season, and we are not here to take things away from the expectations they have exceeded. However, the question now is - can they beat good teams?

The primary reason many fans were backing the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday was that Washington had beaten just a single team with a winning record, which was a then 5-4 Arizona Cardinals team. Having fallen to a now 7-2 Steelers team, facing another 7-2 team in Philly on a short week creates understandable concern.

While they have already exceeded expectations, taking the next step is beating teams that they would be seeing in a potential playoff scenario.

 

 

Philadelphia Eagles: Righting The Ship

For a team that was 6-2 entering Week 10, there was still plenty of skepticism regarding the Eagles. They haven’t exactly been dominant on their way to such a strong record and had most recently nearly allowed a bad Jacksonville Jaguars team to pull off a comeback in a close 28-23 win.

However, Philly has won three of their past four games on the road and five straight overall. Two of those were NFC East matchups as well, which they won by convincing scores of 34-6 and 28-3, both on the road. It is now becoming much more difficult to call for head coach Nick Sirianni’s job.

 

 

Commanders vs. Eagles Odds, Spreads, Total & Betting Lines

The latest Commanders vs. Eagles odds at DraftKings Sportsbook also suggest a rather high-scoring Thursday Night Football game, and you can see the lines below:

 

 

 

Commanders vs. Eagles Predictions: Washington First Quarter Money Line (+185 at DraftKings Sportsbook)

If you’d like to just root for points, we don’t blame you, but our Commanders vs. Eagles predictions are focused on Washington doing so early. Prior to the past two games, Philly had failed to score a single point in the first quarter all season!

These past two weeks they faced a decimated Cowboys team and a then 2-7 Jaguars team, and they still scored just once in the first quarter. In other words, we still aren’t overly impressed with how they’ve started games.

On the complete opposite end of the spectrum is the Commanders. They may be coming off a loss, but if anything, we expect that to have them even hungrier to come out hot. That’s something they’ve already done as well, as their whopping 16.1 first-quarter points per game are the second-most in the NFL!

Even last year when the Commanders were among the worst teams in the league, they finished the first quarters 7-3 and 7-7 with the Eagles. Let’s also not forget that it was Washington that ended Philly’s 8-0 undefeated start to the season two years ago also in prime time on Monday Night Football.

They’ve improved massively since then, so we’re grabbing great plus-money odds for the best bet from our Commanders vs. Eagles predictions and taking Washington’s first quarter money line (+185 at DraftKings Sportsbook).

 

 

 

Commanders vs. Eagles Injury Report & Latest News

We’ve seen both Philly WRs AJ Brown and Devonta Smith suffer injuries this season, and even QB Jalen Hurts this past week being limited at practice. 

Of course, the biggest injury news is the long-term absence of Dallas QB Dak Prescott, but we did see LB Micah Parsons return after missing several weeks. So, be sure to keep track of our very own NFL injury report!
