It's not often you get the best NFL game of the week on Thursday night. That's what we have in Week 11 when the Philadelphia Eagles (7-2) host the Washington Commanders in a good old-fashioned NFC East matchup.
The Commanders were in first place most of the season until their 28-27 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week. Meanwhile, the Eagles won their fifth straight and dominated the struggling Dallas Cowboys on the road.
Washington and Philadelphia are 2-0 in NFC East play, and this is their first meeting in 2024. Both teams have elite offenses, while the Eagles have a strong defense. The Commanders' defense is improving under first-year head coach Dan Quinn, but they have some holes, particularly at cornerback.
Due to the fact that you are at home about Washington.
The experts have also weighed in and are on the side of the oddsmakers. Accordingly 82% of picks are in favor of Philadelphia winning against Washington. Two years ago, 99% of the pundits on Monday Night Football chose the then-undefeated Eagles over the Commanders, and we see how that turned out.
