They are 1-2 in their home games, 2-2 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game.

No one on the defense came away with an interception for them in that game.

The current betting odds have the Commanders listed as a 6.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Commanders haven't looked great this season with their losing 3-4 record overall but they are coming off a loss against the Giants in their last game and they will not want to lose a 2nd division game in a row here. The Eagles bounced back from their loss on Sunday night with a big home win over the Dolphins but now they are going on the road against a division rival and this same division rival pushed the Eagles to OT and almost beat them at home just a few weeks ago. Now the Commanders have home advantage and they are going to play their best against the toughest team in the division this year. The Eagles looked great against the Dolphins but they haven't looked as good in their road games this season and their defense has had a habit of letting teams back into games after taking an early lead. The Commanders already kept this game close on the road a few weeks ago and they will fight hard for a bounce back win at home here against the Eagles. The best way to place a bet here is on the Commanders to cover the spread in this game. 

Eagles Commanders Prediction:  Our NFL Pick for Sunday, October 29, 2023 (1:00 pm ET start time) is Eagles 28 Commanders 24.
