ROGERS' NFC EAST GAME OF THE YEAR! 25-7 RECORD L7 DAYS!
(NFL) Washington vs. Philadelphia,
Point Spread: -10.50 | -107.00 Philadelphia (Home)
Result: Loss
The Commanders were in tough against the Vikings last week and won their three previous games but they are on the road against a team that is consistently good in just about every area on Monday. Not to mention healthier and better rested. The Eagles run defense is their weak point, and the Commanders do have their 2 player run attack performing well, but the Commanders don't put up many rush points. The Commanders' pass attack is very pedestrian, and will face a pass defense that is formidable in takeaways, passer rating, sacks, etc, etc. I really don't see the Commanders scoring a ton of points on Monday. Wentz is probably very lucky to be out of this one.
Can Washington slow down the Philadelphia offense? They've been tough against the run recently, but haven't faced any really stiff rush competition in a few weeks. They are poor against the pass, just 27th in average passer rating, and aren't particularly tough to play against.
The Eagles have a variety of looks on offense, and can switch on the fly if something isn't working. Hurts hasn't run as much with Sanders rushing as well as he has, but the QB can be a force on the ground and in the air. We've seen some shocking results so far in Week Ten, but I think this game will likely go as expected. The Eagles' first half vs. the Texans was a surprise last week, especially with Pierce running so effectively. I expect an adjustment from the Eagles, and a huge effort under the lights of MNF against a very beatable Commanders' team. Take the Eagles to win and cover that big number in prime time.
