Prediction and betting odds for Commanders vs. Eagles in Week 16

The Washington Commanders (9-5) host the Philadelphia Eagles (12-2) in Week 16 action from Northwest Stadium. The Commanders look to avenge a 26-18 loss to the Eagles in Week 11 — a game they led for three quarters.

The Commanders enter Sunday as the NFC’s No. 7 playoff seed, while the Eagles are the second seed but have the same record as top-seeded Detroit.

Below are the latest odds and our final score prediction for Sunday.

Commanders vs. Eagles prediction, pick:

Bryan Manning:

Washington isn’t as hot offensively as it was heading into the first meeting. Now, the Commanders are without Austin Ekeler and Noah Brown. It looks like Zach Ertz will play, which is terrific news for Washington. I believe Washington’s defense plays well for most of the game, and the offense is better this time around. However, the Eagles are healthier and the better team. Washington is gaining ground, though. Saquon Barkley again proves to be the difference.

Pick: Eagles, 27, Commanders 23

Ivan Lambert:

The Commanders are averaging 28.3 points a game this season. However, the Eagles’ defensive front seven restricted the Commanders’ offense, holding them to 10 points until that final possession drive against the Eagles prevent defense.

Meanwhile, the Eagles are the No. 1 rushing team in the NFL at 186 yards a game.

On defense, the Eagles are also No. 1 in scoring defense, surrendering only 17.6 points a game.

The Commanders have yet to beat a team with a winning record this season; they are 0-4 against those teams. I honestly think this game could be closer, but can the Commanders produce enough in the passing game with Noah Brown injured and possibly Zach Ertz out as well?

Pick: Eagles 24, Commanders 17

Serena Burks:

The Commanders face a tall task on Sunday against the Eagles. Washington has struggled of late, even after the bye. Both teams are primarily healthy, but the Eagles have one thing the Commanders don’t: Saquon Barkley. It’s not just about his natural talent or ability; it’s about his sheer will to win.

Pick: Eagles 24, Commanders 21
