The Commanders aren’t likely to apply these Eagles a great deal of a gainsay defensively or offensively. They are at present 4-5, only if barely pulling unitedly a win against the capital of Indiana Colts before losing a tough-fought battle to the Gopher State Vikings cobbler's last week.

The Eagles hold limited their opponents to just a 68.0 passer rating through the number one octet weeks of the season. That’s upright sufficiency to set them in first-class honours degree come in in the league. In addition, City of Brotherly Love leads the conference with 12 interceptions this year, tying its record book from 2015.

For all of their successes, Philadelphia still has way for improvement. The squad is quaternary inwards opponent culmination percentage, taking up a posture in arrears the New England Patriots, the New York Giants and the Cincinnati Bengals.

For all their troubles, the Commanders aren’t the pip squad inwards the NFC. However, that doesn’t miserly the Eagles can make it easy. Washington D.C. head word coach-and-four Ron Diego Rivera is a tough nut to crack, and has proven himself on multiple occasions.

The on-going lawsuit the Commanders face testament likely have got an impact on today’s performance. However, it could be positive.

In a response to Racine, Snyder tried to bend the fit by highlighting offence inwards DC, and it didn’t go away over substantially with players. They power enjoyment today’s spunky as a way to air out their frustrations since they can’t move after their tangible target.

Lean Toward Home

In the cobbler's last gamy 'tween these two, inward Week 3, Philadelphia discomfited American capital 24-8 inward a gamy where the Eagles were dominant from pop out to finish. They testament be ready for a repeat, playing on their have sod in forepart of their own fans.

In their cobbler's last 15 games, Philadelphia is more or less in front of President Washington at 9-6. However, inwards their full history, they’re 42-43-3 at home.

This gamy won’t be as exciting as the MN Vikings – Buffalo Bills matchup from Sunday, but it testament relieve be tough. The Commanders testament assign upwardly some plays, both on offence and defense, though they will stock-still come in upwards short.

The over/under is higher than it should be, especially since QB Rachel Carson Wentz won’t start up for Washington. Still, if his replacement, Taylor Heinicke, put up maintain the offensive inward line, this gamey is sledding to live another come together one.
