NFL Week 8 betting advice: Eagles-Commanders pick and props
Are you betting on the Birds?
Philadelphia Eagles (2-5) face off against Washington Commanders (1-4-1) in a game kicking off at 8:20 p.m. Sunday. The current line has shifted from Eagles +4 to Commanders -6, suggesting the public's confidence is heavily on the side of the Commanders. The total points line is set at 40.5.
Eagles' chances of winning the NFC East have dwindled to 10-1, with their rivals currently leading the way. Additionally, their odds to clinch the NFC Championship are extremely low at 250-1, tying them with the Arizona Cardinals. Eagles' win total has been revised down to just 5.5 games.
The Commanders, eager for revenge against the Eagles after their loss in week one, are likely to come out swinging in the fourth quarter. Despite starting the season 1-4-1, Washington has shown improvement. However, Washington's performance has been marred by unfortunate losses, earning them a 27th place ranking in terms of luck ratio.
For bettors, the only viable option appears to be betting on the Commanders -6, and potentially incorporating them into a 7-point teaser at +1 along with either the Broncos +8.5 or the Cowboys as a point spread. The prop bets for the game include Stefon Diggs Anytime TD at +200, Jayden Daniels Anytime TD at +220, and Dallas Goedert Anytime TD at +220.
