Sportsbook Review: Bet the Eagles to cover vs Commanders
C Jackson Cowart writes: “It’s hard to know what to expect from the Eagles on a week-to-week basis, but I do know this Commanders defense is truly dreadful, and their offense isn’t much better with Jayden Daniels sidelined for the rest of the season. Expect Philly to win big to build momentum entering the postseason.”
Sportsnaut: Philadelphia Eagles 27, Washington Commanders 10
Matt Johnson writes: “The Washington Commanders might try to be a little feisty considering the fracas that broke out the last time they faced the Philadelphia Eagles, but the talent differential between these two teams is massive. Besides, Chicago’s game kicks off at the same time, so it is not as if the Eagles will know one way or another which playoff seed they are locked into, even at halftime. Jalen Hurts and Co. must use this game as a chance to get the offense back on track before the playoffs begin.”
