UPDATE 10:15 A.M. ET SUNDAY: As was the case Friday (see below update), Philly is -7 at BetMGM, and betting is similar, as well. Spread tickets are 2/1-plus and spread money 3/1 on the Eagles.

The total nudged from 43.5 to 43 this morning, after opening 45 and spending almost all week at 43.5. The Under is seeing 53% of tickets/61% of money.

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: The Eagles landed on BetMGM's NFL Week 9 odds board at -6.5 and stuck there until Thursday, adjusting to -6.5 (-115), then advancing to -7. Early spread tickets and money are both running 3/1 on Philly.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Philadelphia (6-1 SU and ATS) rebounded nicely from its first loss of the season. Playing Sunday night, the Eagles notched a 31-17 victory giving 3 points against a solid Miami outfit.

Washington (3-4 SU and ATS) could only put one score on the board in Week 7, losing 14-7 as a 3-point road favorite against the New York Giants. The Commanders drove the ball to the New York 7 in the last two minutes, but turned it over on downs.

"Not a ton of action yet, as this game is off the board with the Eagles playing on Sunday Night Football," Degnon said tonight. "However, with how bad Washington looked in Week 7 against the Giants, I expect the Eagles to get the majority of the handle in this one."

Eagles-Commanders will go back on The SuperBook's NFL Week 8 odds board Monday morning.

Eagles vs Commanders Pick, Prediction

Action Network NFL betting expert Brandon Anderson offers this prediction:

Just trust the better team. Washington shouldn't be able to run on this No. 1 run defense by DVOA, and Haasan Reddick and the pass rush should get after Sam Howell all game with his propensity to eat sacks. The Commanders also have no answer for A.J. Brown or, like most other teams, in the trenches.

Now that the full game line is a touchdown, duck the big number and play just the first half. Washington has been terrible early on, bottom four by DVOA on both offense and defense in the first half. Trust the Eagles to set the tone and take control early.

Pick: First Half Spread - Eagles -3.5 (-110)
