The Eagles and Commanders kick off Sunday, Nov. 1, at 8:20 p.m. ET at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Md.
Who is favored to win the Eagles vs. Commanders Week 8 game?
Washington Commanders: Washington is 1-4-1 under head coach Dan Quinn and is coming off its bye after the loss at San Francisco on Oct. 19. Jayden Daniels is the listed starter at quarterback and was a full participant Wednesday and Thursday with a left elbow issue. As of this writing, tight end John Bates (shoulder), defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (knee) and lineman Nick Allegretti (back) did not practice Thursday, and Quinn said Kinlaw will likely not play. The extra rest, the home field and the Eagles' five-game losing streak are what drive the 70% price.
Philadelphia Eagles: Philadelphia is 2-5 under head coach Nick Sirianni, with five consecutive losses since a 27-7 defeat at Chicago on Sept. 28. McKee is the starting quarterback with Hurts on injured reserve. As of this writing, receivers DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and cornerback Jonathan Jones (hamstring) are listed out, while running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) was limited in Friday's practice and is expected to be available. The losing streak and those absences are what hold the Eagles at 30%.
