The first Sunday Night Football game of the NFL season features Cowboys vs. Giants, but leading up to that NFC East rivalry is another one in Philly. We’ve got Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders in town to take on Saquon Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles, setting us up for an awesome showdown. Will a healthy Daniels prevail, or will being free of AJ Brown drama propel the home team? We’ve broken things down to answer that question with a best bet from our top Commanders vs. Eagles picks for Week 1!

Even if you’re somewhere outside of DC and Philly without legal sports betting, almost the entire country can make some Commanders vs. Eagles predictions with the GUARANTEED Kalshi promo code bonus that we’ve also hooked you up with!

🔥 Commanders vs. Eagles Predictions for NFL Week 1, Sunday, 9/13

Jayden Daniels to Stefon Diggs or Jalen Hurts to Makai Lemon, which new connection will we see more of on Sunday? Based on last year’s defensive metrics, the answer is the latter, but no AJ Brown could certainly affect that. Of course, Saquon Barkley is sure to be the focus of plenty of Commanders vs. Eagles predictions, and he can help take pressure off Hurts.

Regardless, when it comes to divisional rivalries, especially in the NFC East, they can get absolutely crazy. That said, the Commanders vs. Eagles odds have Philly as clear favorites opening their season at home. It’s difficult to argue against it, and it will remain difficult until we see how Jayden Daniels looks back under center/in the gun.

He’s still only one piece of the puzzle, and based on how these teams match up specifically, we’re going to root for Philly points with the best bet from our Commanders vs. Eagles predictions without worrying about covering a spread.

🏅 Commanders vs. Eagles Expert Pick: Philly Team Total Over 23.5 (Use Kalshi To Trade On Anything)

When we say how these teams match up, when it comes to Washington pulling off an upset, they’re going to need to be able to run the ball. Last season, Philly’s D was elite against the pass while allowing over 124 yards per game on the ground. Well, we don’t trust Washington’s ground game, so our Commanders vs. Eagles predictions focus on Philly.

We prefer the team total approach rather than the spread because even when piling on, Washington has been pests. First and foremost, we’re going to omit the most recent meeting, as it was Week 18 of last season that saw no Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, or other starts for Philly. So, let’s look at the first meeting.

Hurts and company cashed in some Commanders vs. Eagles picks by putting up 29, and that was nothing compared to how things had been going. When these teams met in the NFC Championship Game at the height of Jayden Daniels’ Cinderella run, they blasted them by putting 55 on the scoreboard.

Even when Washington pulls off upsets as they did prior to the game in a 36-33 shootout, Philly covers their team total. So, after seeing Washington allow the fourth-most passing yards per game AND the third-most rushing yards per game last year, we love making the best bet from our Commanders vs. Eagles predictions on Philly’s team total over 23.5 (trade at Kalshi).

🏉 Commanders vs. Eagles Injury Report & Latest News

Further supporting our reluctance to trust the Washington ground game, with the Commanders vs. Eagles injuries, we see Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White both with questionable tags. Similarly, center Nick Allegretti is in the same boat, as is arguably their best defender, Odafe Oweh.

We’re excited to see Sonny Styles, but swapping to Philly in terms of Commanders vs. Eagles injuries, it’s key defenders Cooper DeJean and Jonathan Greenard that we need to monitor. All this keeps us on a Philly offensive approach, but of course, we’ll be keeping an eye on all Commanders vs. Eagles news leading up to kickoff!
