NFL Week 11 kicks off on Thursday Night Football in a huge NFC East battle for first place. The Washington Commanders head on the road to take on the Philadelphia Eagles. The winner of this game will hold first place in the division. This should be an exciting matchup between these two teams. The Commanders have surprised thus far this season as Jayden Daniels is playing at an elite level. Below are my Commanders at Eagles Preview and Predictions.
The Philadelphia Eagles come into this game getting some key players back. First, offensive tackle Jordan Mailata returns giving the Eagles offensive line a huge boost. Further, DeVonta Smith is a full go in this game for the Eagles. Lastly, linebacker Nakobe Dean will play in the game for the Eagles.
On the other hand, the Commanders will be without newly acquired cornerback Marshon Lattimore for this game. The good news is that Brian Robinson Jr. will play for the Commanders. Additionally, the Commanders will be without their starting kicker Austin Seibert who is dealing with an injury. The health advantage is definitely in favor of the Eagles in this matchup.
Commanders at Eagles Preview and Predictions
Best Bets
Since the 2018 season, the Eagles are 15-4 SU but 7-11 ATS in division home games. The Eagles have been able to find ways to win the game but haven’t been able to cover the spreads. As I mentioned above, the Eagles are the healthier team coming into this game, and is that something they can take advantage of?
Meanwhile, the Commanders are a brand-new team—the new head coach Dan Quinn has the defense playing at a high level. Additionally, Kliff Kingsbury has done a fantastic job putting together an offensive suited to Jayden Daniels’s skill set. Thus far this season, the Commanders are 7-2-1 ATS and are 3-1 in road games thus far. They are also a perfect 5-0 to the Over on the road. With the spread being outside of a field goal I believe the Commanders can keep this game competitive and possibly win outright.
Best Bet: Commanders +3.5
Player Prop Best Bet
Terry McLaurin Over 4.5 Receptions
There is no question that Terry McLaurin is the #1 wide receiver for the Commanders. This will be McLaurin’s 11th matchup against the Eagles. In the first 10 games, McLaurin has at least five receptions in nine of those games. McLaurin has also gone over this projection in four of the last five games for the Commanders. I expect the targets to continue to be there for Terry McLaurin in this matchup.
