Washington Commanders (4-5) vs. Philadelphia Eagles (8-0)

The Spread: Eagles (-10.5)

The last time these two teams played the Eagles ran away with a 24-8 victory. Who’s to say that won’t happen again? Well hopefully for the Commanders sake Taylor Heinicke has something to say about it. Last time these teams met it was Carson Wentz at QB for Washington. Since Heinicke took over the starting job the Commanders are 2-1 with that one loss being a heartbreaker to the 8-1 Vikings. I like the direction Washington is trending in and, the last time we saw the Eagles they struggled for a large portion of their game against the Texans. They were favored by as much as 14 and only held a 4 point lead heading into the fourth quarter and won by 12. I’m not saying they won’t win this game, but 10.5 is a lot of points. I think Washington is able to hang around here and give us at least a semi entertaining Monday Night game for once.

The Play: Commanders +10.5

Over/Under (43.5)

If I’m going with Washington on the spread here I feel like the under is the best move to go along with it. If they are going to keep this game close they’re going to have to control the clock and force some turnovers and we all know those are over killers. If they can weather the storm that is the second quarter Eagles I think they’ll be able to stick around in this game and keep the point total low. It feels good to go back to what started my Monday/Thursday winning streak (which feels like years ago at this point) and that was the underdog and the under.

The Play: Under 43.5
