How are you feeling about this matchup?
Positive vibes only.
Here are some reasons to feel good about the Philadelphia Eagles beating the Washington Commanders today:
- The Eagles have Saquon Barkley. He’s unstoppable. And the Commanders’ run defense isn’t good.
- Jalen Hurts is built for these pressure moments.
- All the Eagles do under Nick Sirianni is win.
- Jalen Carter is a game-wrecker going up against a backup guard.
- A.J. Brown terrorized Marshon Lattimore in Week 16.
- It took some real fluky stuff for the Commanders to just barely beat the Eagles in the last meeting: Hurts getting knocked out early, Quinyon Mitchell and Darius Slay having some of their worst games, a touchdown surrendered due to a substitution miscommunication, Jayden Daniels converting a 4th-and-11 scramble through multiple defenders, C.J. Gardner-Johnson getting ejected for trash talking, and a game-winning third down conversion dropped by a wide open DeVonta Smith.
- The Linc is going to be electric. The Eagles weren’t even supposed to have home field advantage. They were supposed to be playing in Detroit. What a gift.
- It just doesn’t feel like the Eagles’ story ends here. They’ve been too good of a team all season to lose in this spot.
The Commanders will put up a good fight. But the Eagles will win.
