Commanders vs. Eagles Final Score Prediction for Thursday Night Football NFL Week 11

The NFC East division race could be one of the best in the league throughout the 2024 season, and we saw the leader turn after Week 10.

The Philadelphia Eagles recorded a fifth straight victory – this time over the Dallas Cowboys – to move to 7-2 on the season, while the Washington Commanders lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The loss dropped Washington 7-3, and it dropped the Eagles to first place in the division.

Fortunately for Jayden Daniels and company, the commanders can take back control of the division in Week 11. All they have to do is win.

Philadelphia will host Washington in Week 11, the first of two meetings between these teams this season. The second matchup takes place on December 22 in Washington.

Jalen Hurts has pushed himself into fourth place in the battle for the league’s MVP award and the Eagles are now just +900 to win the Super Bowl.

This should be a great game on Thursday, and the oddsmakers have the Eagles favored by three. Using the latest odds and analysis from our NFL betting insider, let’s try to predict the final score of this match – which should also help us decide which side to bet on.

The Eagles enter this game on a five-game winning streak and improve to 5-4 against the spread. Washington, despite the loss in Week 10, is still the best team against the spread in the NFL at 7-2-1.

SI Betting’s NFL betting insider Iain MacMillan shared his pick for this NFC East showdown in his Off to column 272, where he picks every NFL gameevery week.

He thinks the Eagles will remain hot for several reasons:

The Commanders will now see what happens when they have to play playoff teams. Outside of their impressive Week 4 win against the Cardinals, the Commanders have struggled when facing good football teams, losing to both the Ravens and Steelers. They benefited from an easy first half of their schedule, so I expect regression from them now that they have to play the Eagles, among others.

Washington’s defense has struggled to stop the run all season, ranking 27th in opponent EPA and 25th in opponent passing percentage while giving up 4.8 yards per rush. That’s bad news for them, as they now face an Eagles offense that averages 4.9 yards per carry while ranking fifth in rushing EPA.

Let’s also consider that the Eagles have had the best defense in the NFL since Week 5 and have led the league in opponent EPA per play by a wide margin during that stretch.

The Eagles will show the football world Thursday night that they are the best team in the NFC East.

If the Eagles can make things happen on the ground, they should come away with this game, but I’m not going to discount Washington’s offense. The total in this match is set at 49, and I think we could see a high-scoring affair with the Eagles finishing on top.

Final score prediction: Eagles 31, Commanders 27
