The Philadelphia Eagles (2-5) aim to end a five-game losing streak against the Washington Commanders (1-4-1) in an NFC East showdown on Sunday Night Football. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland.
Both teams face significant injuries. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is out for the season with blood clots, while receivers DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) are ruled out. Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin (knee) is also out for the year.
Washington enters as a 6-point favorite, with the over/under set at 40.5 points. SportsLine's simulation model, which has returned over $5,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since 2024, projects the game to go over the total, citing a 54% hit rate in 10,000 simulations. The over has hit in eight of the last 10 head-to-head meetings.
Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, despite a back issue, is expected to play; he has 244 rushing yards and one touchdown in five games. Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has completed 64.7% of passes for 759 yards, five touchdowns, and no interceptions in four starts, adding 213 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
The model also indicates one side of the spread hits in more than 50% of simulations, but that selection is available only via SportsLine.
