In 2002, the NFL shifted teams around in an effort, per its have estimation, to wee the divisions to a greater extent even. Today, the Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants and Commanders all wee upwards the NFC East.
The firstly leash inwards that group are already headed for the postseason. If Washington D.C. wins today, it could make for an interesting NFC postseason battle.
QB President Taylor Heinicke is going to cay to getting things done for Washington. The Falcons defence force is faltering, allowing the most release yards in the intact league. The Commanders are going to submit vantage of weak points and bang them push down as it controls the board.
It doesn’t help that Atlanta’s offence is having difficulty, either. The Falcons are without tight death Kyle Pitts and, piece they feature other offensive weapons, he has previously been a driving strength for Atlanta.
Washington should live capable to preserve the Falcons from getting into the crimson district too often as they sail to a win. That also substance this could be a low-scoring game, which makes a drama on the 40 over/under a best option.
The Falcons make won tetrad of the last Little Phoebe inwards this matchup, as comfortably as quaternion straight. However, the Commanders head boilersuit with a 16-10-1 record. This mettlesome promises to be 1 of the to a greater extent hard contests of the day.
Rodgers’ Road Rage

The Pack face the Eagles today inward a spirited that has them on the alfresco of the postseason sounding in. QB Henry Louis Aaron Rodgers, rugged pollex and all, faces ace of his toughest opponents of the season inward a must-win game.
Philadelphia has 13 interceptions this season, enough to position it inward a first-place tie. It is also endorse in fewest loss yards allowed per gritty at 178.4, rightfulness behind the Cowboys.
However, that doesn’t mean value Green Bay isn’t capable. They have all the components on both sides of the globe to yield the Eagles difficulty. In addition, the Commanders already proven that Philly is non invincible.
The Packers have got won triplet of the last-place fin 'tween these ii and are 28-17-0 overall. Still, the trauma to Rodgers, which is on his throwing hand, can puddle a difference. The sportsbooks like the Eagles because of their book and Rodgers’ status, and cogitate William Green Bay is going to follow capable to feel pay dirt.
However, at 46, the over/under is a little come out of reach. Taking the under, which has smasher octad times inwards 10 games for for each one of these teams, is the play, as the Eagles don’t get anything to prove.
