Philadelphia Eagles v Washington Commanders: Prediction, Tips and Odds

The Philadelphia Eagles face the Washington Commanders for a place in the NFL Championship on Sunday as the two NFC East rivals prepare to meet for the third time this season.

For only the second time, the two teams will face each other in the NFL playoffs, and it is the Eagles that have home advantage at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Eagles finished top of the NFC East with a 14-3 record, while the Commanders finished behind them in second after a 12-5 campaign.

Philadelphia Eagles v Washington Commanders prop bets - tips and predictions

Saquon Barkley Over 131.5 Rushing Yards - 10/11

The Eagles offence was helped by running back Saquon Barkley throughout the regular season, with the former New York Giants ace posting 2,005 rushing yards in 16 games.

Barkley led the NFL in rushing yards, scoring 13 touchdowns while he averaged 5.8 yards per carry. The 27-year-old averaged 125.3 yards per game across the regular season and his performances in the play-offs suggest he will be just as explosive.

In the Eagles' 22-10 win over the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round, Barkley ran for 119 yards. He scored two touchdowns and ran for 205 yards in last weekend's 28-22 win over the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round.

Barkley has been so consistent throughout the campaign and he will be relishing the chance to face the Commanders for the third time this season.

In both regular-season meetings, Barkley surpassed 140 yards, and he should be just as effective this weekend.

Jayden Daniels Over 220.5 Passing Yards - 10/11

In his first season in the NFL, Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has already proven he has a bright future in the game.

Daniels is on track to record the best quarterback season for a rookie, while he could be the first-ever rookie QB to start in an NFL Championship.

While Daniels finished the regular season 16th in total passing yards, he leads the way in the postseason with 567 yards in two games.

Daniels has thrown four touchdowns and zero interceptions so far in the postseason, and his ability to perform on the big stage should help him once again this weekend.

The Commanders recorded a huge 45-31 victory against the Detroit Lions last week when Daniels went 22-31 for 299 yards and two touchdowns, while he threw for 258 yards in the 36-33 Week 16 success over the Eagles in December.

Philadelphia Eagles v Washington Commanders money line, spread, over/under

	Money Line	Spread	Over/Under
Eagles	10/29	-6 - 10/11	Over 47.5 - 10/11
Commanders	47/20	+6 - 10/11	Under 47.5 - 10/11

Washington Commanders +6 - 10/11

The Eagles are six-point favourites for Sunday's game and that should not come as a surprise.

Philadelphia were two wins better off than their rivals in the regular season, and they have more experience at this stage of the campaign.

However, the Commanders can benefit from the fact that the Eagles are expected to win.

Home advantage is huge for Philadelphia on Sunday, but the Commanders have one of the best quarterbacks in the game at their disposal.

Daniels' ability to use his legs makes him tough to pin down, and he has been so calm in the pocket in the play-offs so far.

Washington have been ruthless in the play-offs up this point, taking their chances when presented, and they should be able to punish the Eagles.

Philadelphia have struggled on occasions through the air, so if they make a slow start, expect the Commanders to push them all the way at Lincoln Financial Field.
