The Washington Commanders have another shot at the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend. They lost their first meeting against the division rivals with the primetime spotlight glaring, but it's also worth remembering that head coach Dan Quinn's men held a lead going into the fourth quarter.
That's the big positive Washington can take. Keeping this up for a full four quarters is the next challenge. Because the Eagles can rack up points in a hurry if afforded enough momentum.
The Commanders remain in the seventh seed as they look to secure their postseason status in Year 1 of an extensive rebuild. But make no mistake, Philadelphia won't be doing them any favors on a 10-game winning streak and one triumph away from the NFC East crown.
It'll be a significant challenge for the Commanders. The fanbase must do their part by spurning on the team from the stands. But unless Washington executes its assignments effectively and remains calm in the face of concerted pressure, it could be a long afternoon.

Jayden Daniels prop bets
The Commanders are counting on rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels down the stretch. He's been as advertised throughout the campaign and looks in strong contention to make the Pro Bowl. However, the signal-caller must deliver with the playoffs in sight.
Daniels wasn't at his best in Week 11 against the Eagles. One could point to the rib issue he was dealing with at the time, but the task facing the former LSU standout is a massive one this weekend.
FanDuel Sportsbook has put the over/under for Daniels' passing yards at 210.5. This is available at -110 in both directions (bet $110 to win $100).
The Heisman Trophy winner is expected to complete around 19.5 passes from 29.5 attempts. Daniels' over/under for passing touchdowns is 1.5.
- Over 1.5 touchdowns: +168 (bet $100 to win $168)
- Under 1.5 touchdowns: -225 (bet $225 to win $100)
