Philadelphia Eagles (2-5) at Washington Commanders (1-4-1) at 8:20 p.m. Sunday

The Line: Commanders minus-6/Total: 40.5

What is the line telling you:

The line on this game originally opened at -4, and since then it has climbed to -6. I wouldn’t be surprised if it closes on that key number of 7 by kickoff.

At this point, anyone looking to invest in the Eagles winning this game has probably had one too many beers. Their odds to win the NFC East have plummeted to 10-1, with all three of their division rivals ahead of them. Furthermore, they currently have the worst odds to win the NFC Championship at 250-1, tied with the Arizona Cardinals. The updated win total for the Birds now sits at just 5.5 games.

I know the Commanders are salivating at the mouth to beat up on the wounded Eagles especially since Philly beat them week one so revenge is definitely on their minds here. There’s no way Dan Quinn takes his foot off the pedal in the fourth quarter since Washington started the season just 1-4-1, but to his credit, the team has played some pretty good football. The Commanders have been very unfortunate in a few of their losses this season and are ranked 27th in luck ratio. So, Washington in my opinion is a much better team than what their record indicates.

Bottom line:

The only way I could bet this game is on the Commanders -6 and to tie them into a 7-point teaser at +1 with the Broncos +8.5 or even the Cowboys at a PK.

Prop bets for the game:

Stefon Diggs Anytime TD +200

Jayden Daniels Anytime TD +220

Dallas Goedert anytime TD +220
