Why the Eagles can cover
When the two faced each other a month ago, the Eagles’ ground game was dominant, with Saquon Barkley rushing for 146 yards and two scores and adding 52 yards receiving. His 198 scrimmage yards are more than Jaden Daniels’ passing yards (191), and the rookie has struggled of late. He was sacked a season-high eight times last week by a 5-8 Saints team, and he’s also been a little sloppy football-wise. After having just two interceptions in his first 10 NFL games, Daniels had four picks in his final four games ahead of a matchup against an Eagles defense that allowed the fewest passing yards per game. There is.

Lined up. He also has great feet (656 yards, six touchdowns) and is a big part of Washington’s run game, which ranks top-five in yards, touchdowns and yards per carry.
The Commanders also have one of the best pass defenses in the league, with only three teams allowing fewer yards through the air. They held each of their last two opponents to less than 50% success rate while simultaneously holding each of their last three opponents to less than 100 rushing yards. The franchise has struggled in recent home games vs. the Eagles, but the Commanders have just one ATS loss in their last four home games against Philadelphia, so they’re a little more vulnerable to the spread in these matchups.
