Washington Commanders vs Philadelphia Eagles Prediction, Odds and Picks for Sunday, 01/04/26

It will be a mostly meaningless game in the NFC East when the Philadelphia Eagles host the Washington Commanders in Week 18 of the NFL season on Sunday afternoon. Philadelphia has locked up the division title but cannot get the #1 seed in the conference, while Washington has long since been eliminated from playoff contention. I would proceed with utmost caution in this situation, but — if I had to take either side — my Commanders vs. Eagles pick is for the visitors to cover.

Philadelphia is expected to rest all of its key players this weekend. Although the #2 seed would be advantageous to guarantee a second home game if Philly wins its opening playoff game, head coach Nick Sirianni is reportedly opting to rest his guys and avoid injuries in a relatively unimportant game. That means Tanner McKee will be under center for the Eagles. He has attempted 3 passes in his second NFL season. Journeyman Josh Johnson will be running the Commanders’ offense. Johnson is a capable backup who has been around forever and has a ton of experience. I’ll back Washington to play hard enough to keep this game close.

Commanders vs Eagles prediction: Washington Commanders +4 (-108) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
