The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to rest Jalen Hurts and a few other starters with little on the line ahead of the postseason when they host the Washington Commanders today. My Commanders vs. Eagles predictions have you covered ahead of kickoff at 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS.
My NFL picks believe the Birds’ backups can still take down a Washington team that has endured plenty of injuries this season in a low-scoring game in Philadelphia on Sunday, January 4.
Commanders vs Eagles prediction
Commanders vs Eagles Best bet: Under 39.5 (-115)
The Philadelphia Eagles were in a similar situation last year in Week 18, coming out with a 20-13 win over the Giants with backup Tanner McKee leading the offense. This could very well have a final score in that same ballpark.
The Washington Commanders should struggle to move the ball against the Birds, who held Washington to 10 points until the final two minutes a few weeks ago. They only had 90 rushing yards and 130 passing yards in that game as well.
The Birds are resting up for the playoffs, and the Commanders can’t wait for the offseason. There should be a distinct lack of scoring on Sunday in Philadelphia.
Commanders vs Eagles same-game parlay
Eagles backup running back Tank Bigsby has seen some usage in blowouts this season, and he’s impressed. He racked up 104 yards on nine carries against the Giants back in October, and 57 yards on 17 carries against the Raiders in December.
Bigsby then scored the following week in Washington, and should be the lead back with the Eagles resting their starters. To top it all off, the Commanders have allowed at least one running back touchdown in seven straight games.
Commanders vs Eagles SGP
- Under 39.5
- Eagles -3.5
- Tank Bigsby anytime touchdown
Our big-ticket SGP: Tushing Tanner!
Adding Tanner McKee to score on a tush push (or otherwise) gets this all the way up to near 70/1. I can’t pass up a sprinkle on that.
Commanders vs Eagles SGP
- Under 39.5
- Eagles -3.5
- Tank Bigsby anytime touchdown
- Tanner McKee anytime touchdown
Commanders vs Eagles odds
- Spread: Commanders +3.5 (-115) | Eagles -3.5 (-105)
- Moneyline: Commanders +146 | Eagles -176
- Over/Under: Over 38.5 (-110) | Under 38.5 (-110)
Commanders vs. Eagles game predictions
Commanders vs Eagles moneyline prediction
The Philadelphia Eagles are the only way to play the moneyline. These odds on the Washington Commanders aren’t high enough to warrant a bet, especially given how Washington’s season has gone.
Commanders vs Eagles spread prediction
The Eagles beat the Commanders 29-18 a few weeks ago in Washington, and are still the better team even if they are resting some starters.
Philadelphia’s defense is one of the best in the league this season and held the Bills to 12 points last week. This should be a low-scoring win for the Eagles, who are a good bet to cover the spread.
Commanders vs Eagles Over/Under prediction
The Birds have allowed 30 total points in the last three weeks, and haven’t exactly had a great offensive output themselves this season.
The total is set a bit low, but it’s not low enough.
