Week 11’s Thursday night game is one of the best matchups of the week, as the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles duel for first place in the NFC East.
The Eagles come in as one of the hottest teams in the league after ripping off five consecutive wins, the latest a rout of the Dallas Cowboys.
Washington’s three-game winning streak was snapped last week, but a one-point loss at Pittsburgh does not raise concerns about the team’s positive direction.
Philadelphia is a 3 1/2-point favorite, slightly more than its home field is worth, and the over-under is 48 1/2.
The NFL Week 11 Thursday Night Football game between the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles will be played at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
The Commanders vs. Eagles game will stream on Amazon Prime.
The Commanders at Eagles game is scheduled to begin at 6:15 p.m. MT/7:15 p.m. CT.
Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit will call the game from the Lincoln Financial Field booth, and Kaylee Hartung will report from the sidelines.
The Eagles are a 3 1/2-point home favorite over the Eagles in NFL Week 11 odds for the game, courtesy of BetMGM Sportsbook. Philadelphia is -185 on the moneyline, while Washington is +150. The over/under is set at 49 points.
Washington Commanders
Recently acquired cornerback Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) did not practice with the Commanders all week and was ruled out for the game, along with kicker Austin Seibert (right hip) and linebacker Nick Bellore (knee). Running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) has missed the last two games but was taken off the injury report and will be active for the game. The Commanders listed as questionable left tackle Brandon Coleman (shoulder), offensive tackle Cornelius Lucas (ankle) and right tackle Andrew Wylie (shoulder) after they were limited in practice.
Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles welcomed starting left tackle Jordan Mailata (hamstring) back to practice this week and activated him from injured reserve on Wednesday, clearing the way for his return Thursday night. Cornerback Darius Slay (ankle), tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle) and Dean (groin) were full participants in Wednesday’s practice after being limited on Tuesday. Receiver DeVonta Smith is dealing with a hamstring injury and has been limited in practice all week.
With a line of 3 1/2 points and an over-under of 49, the expected result is an Eagles victory of 26-23.
Bill Speros writes: “The Battle for Supremacy in the NFC East offers up the most-compelling Thursday night matchup of the season. These teams are a combined 14-3-1 ATS. The Eagles (7-2) hold a one-game lead in the loss column over Washington (7-3). Philly stampeded Dallas Sunday. Commanders fell late to Pittsburgh. They have lost 7 straight after a loss and have a short week and have to go on the road to the Linc. And they’re just 1-6 ATS against teams with a winning record. A Philly win means the NFC East will be theirs to lose. The total here seems out of line given the strength of both defenses against the pass and the fact that both teams are in the top third of the league in terms of points allowed. Take the points here, but not if this one edges above 3 points. The Eagles have a 57.1% chance to win, according to ESPN Analytics.”
