Eagles at Commanders Week 3 Preview and Prediction
Get ready with odds, best bets and analysis for this NFC East showdown
By Matthew Horner – Sep 21, 2022, 10:44pm The Eagles right now are one of the hottest teams in football, and for good reason. QB Jalen Hurts has been astounding through two games, and his offense has put up huge yardage numbers against the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings. The defense, which was shredded by the Lions offense in Week 1, took a step in the right direction with a stifling performance against Kirk Cousins and Minnesota. Overall, they have shown that they are a complete team, but we are just two games into the season. Hurts is already third or fourth right now on most odds boards for NFL MVP, which could be a bit of an overreaction. It might not be as well, and that has a lot to do with their schedule. Philadelphia has perhaps one of the easiest starts to a season that any team could possibly ask for. Detroit and Minnesota both aren't exactly fantastic teams, but they are still better than some of the upcoming competition. Washington, Jacksonville, Arizona, Dallas, Pittsburgh, Houston, Washington again, Indianapolis, and then Green Bay. They could realistically start the season 10-0 before they get to an opponent that is rated highly. The NFC is just an awful conference, so anything can happen. Philly is 1-1 ATS so far, and 1-1 to the O/U.
