Commanders vs Eagles Thursday Night Football
Hey sports fans! This looks like another exciting prime time Thursday night game. Who’s ready for a Commanders vs Eagles prediction? Not sure we can match that outstanding 34-35 Bengals vs Ravens games last week, but we can give it a try! Here comes the Commanders stumbling into week 11 with their 7-3 record after losing 27-28 to the Pittsburgh Steelers while the 7-2 Eagles are flying high after annihilating the Dallas Cowboys 34-6. Football is a game of momentum, and it looks like the Eagles are finally getting healthy and feeling the groove. The Commanders are hoping to get Brian Robinson Jr back so they can enhance that passing game. Robinson is so big and strong and really gives a different dynamic in the backfield. Daniels is also ready to get back into form after arguably his worst start as a Commander.
Can the Commanders Win Tonight?
The Commanders can win tonight if the defense can show up. That is not likely, so once again the Commanders are going to have to rely on the arm of Jayden Daniels. Daniels averages 214.7 yards per game, has a 68.7% completion percentage, 9 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Ironically Daniels is also the leading rusher on the team at 46.4 yards per game with 4 rushing touchdowns. The Eagles secondary is mediocre at best with all of the man coverage, so look for the Commanders to strike early and often. The leading receiver is Terry McLauren averaging 71.1 yards per game and 6 touchdowns.

• Commanders are 3-1 in their road games against the spread
• The totals have gone OVER in 3 of Commanders’ last 5 games
• The Commanders have won the first half in 7 of their last 8 games
Can the Eagles Win Tonight!
The one-man wrecking crew named Saquon Barkley is the key to victory for the Eagles. Barkley averages an amazing 110.1 yards per game and has six touchdowns on the season. This is bad news for the Commanders since they allow the 4th most points to opposing running backs. Quarterback Jalen Hurtz has also been having his way with teams again, now that he has his receivers back from injury. Hurtz averages 219.6 yards per game, has a 69.8% completion percentage, has 12 touchdowns on the season and just 5 interceptions. His leading receiver is A.J. Brown with 92.2 yards per game and 3 touchdowns. They will be working hard to keep that 5-game winning streak alive. The Eagles win 66.7% of their games at Lincoln Financial and their average margin of victory is 3.3 points.
