The Philadelphia Eagles (2-5) aim to end a five-game losing streak when they face the Washington Commanders (1-4-1) in an NFC East matchup on Sunday Night Football. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland.
Both teams are dealing with significant injuries. Washington receiver Terry McLaurin (knee) and Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts (blood clots) are out for the season. Eagles receivers DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) have been ruled out for this game.
The latest odds list Washington as a 6-point favorite, with the over/under 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. The over has hit in eight of the last 10 head-to-head meetings, including 46 points in their last matchup on September 13. It has also hit in five of the last nine Philadelphia games and eight of the last 10 Washington games.
Philadelphia's offense relies on running back Saquon Barkley, who is expected to play despite a back issue. In five games, Barkley has rushed 43 times for 244 yards and one touchdown. Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has completed 64.7% of his passes for 759 yards, five touchdowns, and no interceptions in four starts, adding 213 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries.
The model projects 43 combined points, with the over hitting in 54% of simulations. It also indicates one side of the spread hits in more than 50% of simulations.
