Sunday's NFC East matchup sees the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles go head-to-head, with both teams looking to turn around their fortunes at Northwest Stadium.
The Eagles arrive in Maryland desperately needing a response after suffering five consecutive defeats, leaving them with plenty of work to do following a difficult spell.
Philadelphia's problems have been compounded by a lengthy injury list, with franchise quarterback Jalen Hurts ruled out for the remainder of the season due to blood clot issues.
Pressure is mounting on head coach Nick Sirianni after the Eagles were beaten 38-21 by the Dallas Cowboys last time out.
However, there were encouraging signs in that performance, and Philadelphia will hope to take advantage of a Commanders side that has also been hit hard by injuries.
Eagles vs. Commanders betting picks & predictions
Eagles +6.5 (+101)
Philadelphia already has a narrow victory over Washington to their name this season, having come out on top 24-22 when the sides met at Lincoln Financial Field in Week 1.
However, much has changed since that meeting, with the Eagles enduring a difficult run that has seen injuries, inconsistent offensive line play and questions over the play calling become major talking points.
Tanner McKee has stepped into the starting quarterback role following Hurts's absence, and while the backup has needed time to adjust to the increased responsibility, he has some quality offensive options at his disposal.
The return of several key players should give McKee more opportunities to make an impact, although Washington is also struggling with injuries of its own heading into Sunday's contest.
Philadelphia may find it difficult to come away with a win on the road, but the Eagles keeping the margin within five points looks an interesting alternative, making the +5.5 handicap worth considering.
Saquon Barkley anytime touchdown (+120)
Philadelphia will be hoping to get more out of Saquon Barkley this weekend after the running back showed encouraging progress in the defeat to Dallas.
Hamstring problems have disrupted his campaign, while the Eagles' struggles up front have made it difficult for him to find consistent running room. However, Barkley scored a touchdown for the first time this season against the Cowboys.
He was handed only seven rushing attempts in that contest, but a bigger role should be on the cards against Washington.
Not looking to rely too much on the arm of McKee, if the Eagles can get their ground game moving, Barkley has a good opportunity to add to his touchdown tally, making him an interesting anytime scorer option.
Stefon Diggs anytime touchdown (+205)
One of the Commanders' main offensive weapons, 32-year-old wide receiver Stefon Diggs will be looking to use his experience to make an impact against the Eagles on Sunday.
The former Minnesota Vikings, Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots receiver has had some injury concerns of his own recently, particularly with a hamstring problem, but he has returned to full practice and is expected to be available this weekend.
Diggs has already found the end zone four times in his last five appearances for Washington, highlighting the threat he poses in the red zone.
With his availability looking positive, the veteran wideout appeals in the anytime touchdown market at odds of +205 as one of quarterback Jayden Daniels’ preferred targets.
