- Commanders are favored by 5.5 points at home against the Eagles, who will be without wide receiver DeVonta Smith, inactive with a hamstring injury.
- Brad Thomas of SportsLine picked Chig Okonkwo, Commanders, Over 31.5 total receiving yards; combined with two other Sunday picks in a BetMGM parlay, the wager pays +265 on a $100 risk (odds subject to change).
- Chig Okonkwo has 11 catches on 13 targets for 129 yards over the last two games and has become one of Jayden Daniels' favorite targets since the quarterback returned from his elbow injury.
- Terry McLaurin is out for the year, leaving Washington needing someone to move the chains, while Okonkwo's two weaker outings were 16 yards in the Philadelphia opener and the game Jayden Daniels was out.
- Eagles have struggled against tight ends, with Tommy Tremble, Brenton Strange and Tyler Higbee all clearing 31.5 yards against Philadelphia without being their respective offenses' top option.
- SportsLine Projection Model simulates every NFL game 10,000 times and is up more than $5,000 for $100 players on top-rated picks since its inception, entering Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season on a 58-51 run dating back to 2024.
Why it matters: With DeVonta Smith inactive and Terry McLaurin out for the year, Washington is leaning on a receiver the source credits with 11 catches on 13 targets over two games, against a Philadelphia defense that has struggled against tight ends. That personnel arithmetic sits behind the 31.5-yard prop and a +265 three-pick parlay, opposite a 5.5-point home spread.
