The Philadelphia Eagles got back on track in a big way on Sunday afternoon with a 31-0 win over the Raiders. That ended a three-game losing streak for the Birds, who are now one win away from clinching the NFC East.

The Washington Commanders also ended their losing streak on Sunday as a 29-21 road win over the Giants snapped an eight-game skid.

Can the Birds keep it up and clinch the NFC East in Washington on Saturday?

Here’s a breakdown of the odds, a player to watch, betting trends and my prediction for this matchup in Week 16.

Eagles vs. Commanders Key Player to Watch

Jalen Hurts, Quarterback, Philadelphia Eagles

Jalen Hurts had a game to forget two weeks ago in Los Angeles. He threw four interceptions and fumbled once while completing just 21 of 40 passes in the overtime loss.

While the Raiders weren’t exactly a tough test for Hurts, it was a much-needed effort from the quarterback. 

He completed 12 of 15 passes for 175 yards and three touchdowns and did not turn the ball over once. He also ran seven times for 39 yards on a cold afternoon in Philadelphia.

Hurts and the Eagles will look to build on that against a poor Commanders defense that allows the second-most yards per game at 382.6, including 246.3 passing yards per contest.

Eagles vs. Commanders Prediction and Pick

The Eagles defense has been elite all year long and they finally got a shutout to show for it. Sure, it was against the Raiders, but they had previous strong efforts against a few strong offenses as well.

The Commanders might be feeling good after an upset win over the Giants, but making it two in a row against NFC East foes is going to be too tall of a task. 

The Birds should handle business on Saturday evening to clinch the NFC East, and cover as road favorites to boot.

Pick: Eagles -6 (-110)
