Washington Commanders at Philadelphia Eagles Week 4 Preview, Predictions, Matchup Breakdowns


Listen Later

The Washington Commanders go on the road to Philadelphia this week to take on the undefeated Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field. The last time we played the Eagles, we came out victorious at their house and ended their perfect season up until that point. Can we do it again this week?

The episode begins by assessing this year’s Philadelphia Eagles squad. What is working for them? Are they Superbowl bound yet again?
The breakdown begins with the Commanders defense against the Eagles offense. Chase Young, Montez Sweat, Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen have their biggest test of the season so far and that is to slow down an Eagles running game that now features D’Andre Swift. Swift is averaging 7 yards a carry, which is easily tops in the NFL. How do we slow it down? Is it even possible? And if we do, how do we then stop Jalen Hurts, DeVonta Smith and AJ Brown?
Flipping sides of the ball, will Sam Howell and the offense rebound and play well enough against an Eagles defensive line that is elite, but also features a suspect secondary? Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson do need to get the ball more, but is our true identity on offense running the football with Brian Robinson?
We jump into our predictions, where the Commanders are 8.5 point road underdogs, and the over-under is set at 43.5 points.
