Eagles vs Commanders Prediction
The current betting odds have the Commanders listed as a 6 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Commanders have looked terrible in their games this season with their 1-4-1 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the NFC East. They have looked a lot better on their home field though with their 1-0-1 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Eagles haven't looked good in their games this season with their 2-5 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the NFC East. They haven't been a great road team either with their 1-1 road record this year. The Eagles had a nice start to the season as they were 2-0, but they have lost 5 games in a row now and the wheels are starting to come off. They already lost Jalen Hurts for the season and they have been dealing with a lot of losses at other key positions too. They are coming off a 38-21 loss to the Cowboys in their last one and that game was on Monday Night Football too, so they are playing another tough divisional game here on the road on a shorter week. Their offense didn't look that bad in their last one, but their defense was terrible and their defense has been a big issue this season too. The Commanders haven't looked any better this season, but they are coming out of their bye week and have had extra time to prepare for this banged up Eagles team. The Commanders are coming off a 23-17 loss to the 49ers in their last one too and they still gave themselves a chance to win at the end. This is a great situation for the Commanders at home with an extra week of rest while the Eagles have been falling apart. The best way to place a bet here is on the Commanders to cover the spread in this game.
Eagles Commanders Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Sunday, November 1, 2026 (8:20 pm ET start time) is Commanders 27 Eagles 10.
