Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Commanders: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

The Philadelphia Eagles are the form team in the NFL at present and they will look to win the NFC East title at the expense of the Washington Commanders in Week 16 of the 2024 NFL season.

Philadelphia are top of the NFC East thanks to their 12-2 record and they are three wins better off than the Commanders, who are 9-5 for the season.

Nick Sirianni's team have won 10 games in a row to restore confidence amongst the fans, while the Commanders have not been convincing of late.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Commanders betting picks and predictions

Philadelphia Eagles -3.5 (-110)

There have been plenty of headlines made about the Eagles in recent months, but their results have been enough to silence their critics.

In recent weeks their passing attack has been off, leading to comments from wide receiver A.J. Brown that they need to improve.

Some took that as a dig at quarterback Jalen Hurts, but if there has been any animosity between the pair, it was not on show in the 27-13 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Hurts threw for 290 yards and Brown had more receiving yards in the first half (48) than he did in the entire game against the Carolina Panthers last week.

Philadelphia's 10th consecutive win was a new franchise record and they are still in the hunt for the No.1 seed in the NFC.

With the Eagles' passing game back in a groove, they should have too much quality for the Commanders.

Washington may have won two games in a row, but they lost 26-18 to the Eagles in Week 11 and they have lost three of their last five.

Philadelphia missed two field goals in their win against the Commanders, so the score should have been a lot more comfortable than it looked in the box score.

Sirianni's outfit outgained the Commanders by nearly 200 yards in the first meeting and they should bulldoze their way to victory and seal the division title in style.

Saquon Barkley Over 96.5 Rushing Yards (-110)

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley leads the league in rushing yards this season.

The former New York Giants ace has 1,688 to his name and 146 of those came in the first meeting against the Commanders.

Barkley scored two touchdowns during that 26-18 success, and he has since scored another three touchdowns.

The 27-year-old has averaged 5.9 yards per carry this season, and if the Eagles can get their passing game in rhythm, it should allow them to turn to Barkley on the ground as Washington try to cover all bases.

Brian Robinson Jr. Over 58.5 Rushing Yards (-110)

Washington have performed to a high level this season thanks to rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.

Daniels deserves praise for his performances, but he faces an Eagles secondary that is possibly the best in the NFL right now.

The Commanders are going to struggle through the air, so they will lean on running back Brian Robinson Jr.

He had 16 carries for 63 yards in the first meeting against the Eagles, and he has 168 yards from 37 carries in his last two matches.

The 25-year-old will be given a hefty workload and Washington will try to slow the game down and dominate possession in order to try and win.

Robinson Jr. should cover his line with ease with a high volume of carries, but the Eagles are set to dominate from the front and pick up a big win as they look to maintain their momentum ahead of the playoffs.
