Betting Washington Commanders (7-3 SU, 7-2-1 ATS, 7-3 o/u)
One of the biggest surprises of the 2024 NFL season has been the elite play of the Washington Commanders. Coming off of porous 4-13 2023 campaign, the Commanders paired strong offseason acquisitions with a sensational get in the 2024 NFL Draft by selecting quarterback Jayden Daniels out of LSU.
In his rookie year, Daniels has already shown that he’s one of the top talents in the league. With his tremendous dual-threat ability, Daniels has provided the Commanders with several big wins already in his young career.
With their team success, betting victories have also been commonplace for the Commanders this season. With a 7-3 straight-up record, backing them to win has been a fruitful market. Additionally, the Commanders enter into Week 11 tied for the highest cover-rate in the NFL at 77.8%. If that wasn’t enough, they’ve also been frequently featured in high-scoring affairs, leading to the second-best over-rate in the NFL behind only the Baltimore Ravens.
Betting Philadelphia Eagles (7-2 SU, 5-4 ATS, 4-5 o/u)
After slowing, sputtering, and stalling to finish the season in 2023, the Eagles have come back with a vengeance and once again have their sights set on the Super Bowl. With their already fierce running game having become even more deadly after adding Pro Bowl running back Saquon Barkley to the mix, the Eagles have been a powerhouse in the NFC this season.
The Eagles have racked up impressive wins over formidable opponents such as the Green Bay Packers and Cincinnati Bengals, showcasing their top-end talent early in the season.
While the Eagles have been impressive in terms of wins and losses, they’ve left more to be considered when it comes to betting. With a narrow 55.6% cover rate against the spread, the Eagles haven’t been a safe bet to cover this season. Additionally, they have bounced back and forth between overs and under throughout their current campaign, making them an unreliable betting option outside of the moneyline in 2024.
Betting Mismatch
Coming off of a quiet game in a blowout victory over the Dallas Cowboys last week, look for Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith to make his presence felt against the Commanders on Thursday Night Football.
Comprising the phenomenal wideout duo beside teammate A.J. Brown, Smith has been a reliable betting option throughout the 2024 season. As sure-handed as they come, Smith is always prone to hauling in a highlight reel catch whenever the ball is in his vicinity.
Having racked up Over 53 yards in six of his eight games played in 2024, Smith has had no troubles filling up the boxscore through the air.
Look for the former Heisman Trophy-winning receiver to shine when the lights are bright, compiling Over 53 receiving yards on Thursday Night Football against the Commanders.
DeVonta Smith Over 53 Receiving Yards
-118
Key injuries
LB Nick Bellore (knee), CB Marshon Lattimore (hamstring), and K Austin Seibert (hip) are all out for the Commanders. OT Brandon Coleman (shoulder), OT Cornelius Lucas (ankle), and OT Andrew Wylie (shoulder) are all questionable.
The Eagles have a relatively clean injury report, with DeVonta Smith (hamstring) getting in a limited practice session on Wednesday. He’s expected to play in this one.
Weather
It’s going to be a chilly matchup on primetime from Philadelphia, with temperatures expected to be around 8 C with light winds.

Commanders vs. Eagles Predictions
- In what is sure to be a closely contested affair, the smart money resides on the Eagles to cover as favourites against the Commanders. While the Commanders have been one of the best stories in the NFL this season, they simply aren’t as well-polished as the veteran Eagles. Look for the Eagles to abuse the Commanders’ subpar run defence all night long as they control the clock, gaining a lead early and limiting scoring chances on the other side of the football against a rookie quarterback.
- Neither team are strangers to high-scoring matchups this season, so be sure to hammer the Over on Thursday Night Football. With the Commanders having finished six of their games with a final score of Over 48.5, look for the Eagles to match their offensive intensity as both sides exchange end zone shots in a primetime demolition derby for control of the NFC East.
