Washington Commanders vs Philadelphia Eagles Prediction: Eagles will win again

At the Caesars Superdome on Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Commanders will compete in the eighth week of NFL play. Let's take a look at this next game and make a prediction.

The Washington Commanders are looking to win their second game at home in order to restore their record to even. Seven of the Washington Commanders' most recent 11 games played at home ended in defeat. Sam Howell has a completion percentage of 65.2 percent, good for 1,749 yards and 9 touchdowns while also having 7 interceptions. Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel, and Logan Thomas have all caught at least 23 passes, but the three of them have combined for 742 receiving yards and three touchdowns. The running offense of the Washington Commanders is averaging 86.1 yards per game, and Brian Robinson Jr. is leading the way with 325 yards and 4 touchdowns to put him in the lead. The Washington Commanders have a defense that is allowing an average of 27.1 points and 374.1 yards per game. The Washington Commanders are led defensively by Cody Barton, who has 61 tackles; Montez Sweat, who has 5.5 sacks; and Kendall Fuller, who has 2 interceptions.

The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to increase their record to 7-1 and preserve their best record in the National Football League by claiming victory on the road for the fourth time. The Philadelphia Eagles have been dominant on the road recently, winning 10 of their previous 12 games. Jalen Hurts has a completion percentage of 67.2 percent, which results in 1,821 yards, 9 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions from his passing. Dallas Goedert had 31 receptions, while A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith have combined for 1,192 receiving yards and five touchdowns. The rushing attack of the Philadelphia Eagles is good for 142.7 yards per game on average, and D'Andre Swift is the team's leading rusher with 514 yards and 2 touchdowns. The Philadelphia Eagles are allowing 20.1 points and 290.3 yards per game because of their poor defense. Reed Blankenship has the most tackles (39), Haason Reddick has the most sacks (5.5), and Darius Slay has the most interceptions (2) for the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Philadelphia Eagles are coming off a victory over the Miami Dolphins in their last game, and they still have to play the Dallas Cowboys in their next game. This might be a letdown scenario for the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite this, the Washington Commanders just suffered a defeat at the hands of the New York Giants in a game in which they scored only one touchdown. After that defeat, Jonathan Allen was dismissed from the team, which cannot have been good for the morale in the locker room. The Philadelphia Eagles have been dominant through the first seven games of the season, winning all but one of those contests, including one against the Washington Commanders. My money is on the Eagles to cover the run line in this one.
