The Arizona Republic: Eagles 27, Commanders 21
Jeremy Cluff writes: "Jayden Daniels' return for Washington is obviously huge, but it won't be enough for the Commanders to upset the Eagles at
Lincoln Financial Field."
Bookies.com: Bet the Eagles to cover vs Commanders
Bill Speros writes: "Tom Brady delivers his analysis from high above Lincoln Financial Field in the Fox Game of the Week. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni begins this season right back on the NFL Coaching Hot Seat. The distraction of A.J. Brown has departed for New England. Perhaps that helps to soothe the rocky relationship between QB Jalen Hurts and his coach. So should a new OC in Sean Mannion and, as always, Saquon Barkley, Washington should remain dangerous with Jayden Daniels, but a rebuilt Commanders defense faces a difficult first assignment."

BetMGM: Bet the Eagles to score more than 25.5 points vs Commanders
Nick Hennion writes: "Based on the Commanders’ inability to stop the run and the Eagles’ prior offensive success, my Eagles vs Commanders prediction is the Eagles Over 25.5 Points. Until proven otherwise, I’m forced to assume the Commanders’ porous rush defense will continue into this season. Since hiring Dan Quinn, the unit has continuously failed to impress. In 2024, the defense ranked 26th in rush defense DVOA, per FTN Fantasy. Last season, the defense regressed to 27th in rush defense DVOA, albeit against good rushing attacks."
