The Washington Commanders are playing the role of spoiler over their final three games of 2025. And first up, it's a long-awaited battle with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16.
Head coach Dan Quinn locked horns with the Eagles in last season's NFC Championship game. The Commanders gave up 55 points in a one-sided affair, and things have completely spiraled this time around. Philadelphia isn't the force it was last season, especially on offense. That makes this a difficult yet potentially winnable game for Washington if everyone is firing on all cylinders.
That's a tall order at the height of optimism or delusion. But the Commanders have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Marcus Mariota prop bets
With the Commanders shutting down Jayden Daniels for the season, this is Marcus Mariota's team until 2025 concludes. More importantly for the signal-caller, this is a chance to put together more good tape to get another starting gig elsewhere next spring.
One of his old clubs, the Eagles, won't want this scenario coming to fruition with a playoff spot in sight. Mariota's over/under for passing yards is 196.5, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, which is available at -112 in both directions (bet $112 to win $100). He is projected to complete around 18.5 passes from 29.5 attempts. The former Oregon star's over/under for passing touchdowns is 1.5.
- Over 1.5 passing touchdowns: +205 (bet $100 to win $205)
- Under 1.5 passing touchdowns: -280 (bet $280 to win $100)
