The Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles face off in a critical NFC East rivalry on Sunday Night Football, with both teams desperate for a win. Washington enters at 1-4-1, having secured its lone victory in Week 3 against Seattle, while Philadelphia rides a five-game losing streak.
According to the latest odds, Washington is a 6-point home favorite with an over/under of 40 total points. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland.
Philadelphia will be without quarterback Jalen Hurts; backup Tanner McKee is 0-2 and has lost three straight starts since his first career win in Week 18 of the 2024 season. Wide receivers DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) are also inactive.
The Commanders come off a bye week and are off to their worst six-game start since 2020. Their lone win featured just one drive longer than 43 yards, yet they scored 33 points, while their defense ranks 31st in scoring.
SportsLine expert R.J. White favors the Eagles +6, noting Philadelphia held a late lead against Dallas before faltering, and that Washington's market line move is excessive. White also highlights Commanders receiver Treylon Burks, who averages a team-high 16.9 yards per catch and went over 45 receiving yards in two of his last three games. The model projects Burks for 36 receiving yards, supporting an over 21.5 yards bet.
