Things were looking dire for the Philadelphia Eagles after losing three straight games, but now they've bounced back by stringing together three straight wins, including a win against the Bills in Week 17, and now they are seemingly hitting their stride at the perfect time.

The Eagles can now cap off their 2025 regular season with a win against the Washington Commanders in Week 18, which would give them a shot at being the No. 2 seed in the NFC, depending on the outcome of Lions vs. Bears.

Let's take a look at the odds and my best bet for this NFC East finale.

Commanders vs. Eagles Key Player to Watch

• Saquon Barkley, RB - Philadelphia Eagles

Saquon Barkley has hit his stride in recent weeks. He has reached 120+ yards in two of his last four games and has averaged over six yards per carry in them. For the Eagles to make a run at defending their Super Bowl title, that's the level of production they need from their star running back. Let's see if he can build on that in Week 18.

Commanders vs. Eagles Prediction and Pick

In this week's edition of the Road to 272 Bets, I wrote about why I'm laying the points with the Eagles on Sunday:

The Eagles beat the Commanders 29-18 on the road two weeks ago, and not only did they win by margin, but they also had a Net Yards per Play metric of +1.5 in that game. I continue to buy in on the Eagles, who, despite a slow middle part of the season, have played themselves out of the dip and are now trending in the right direction. They're third in the league in Net Yards per Play over the past three games at +1.4. Their defense has become an elite unit, and their offense has been able to run the ball successfully.

The Eagles are still battling for the No. 2 seed in the NFC, so they have enough to play for to cruise past the Commanders in this one.
