The 4th week in the NFL regular season 2023 is about to fully settle in, as we already had the Thursday Night Football match with the Lions still surprising. However, this Sunday, most teams get back in the field to continue doing their work.
Things are headed to Philadelphia, as we go to the Lincoln Financial Field so the Eagles can host the tricky team of the Commanders in what could be an exciting matchup, or a clear steamroll. Washington has been a regular underdog for some years now, but let’s remember that they were the ones to end Philadelphia’s unbeaten streak last season.
We are now going to break down what we expect to unfold in this match.
When:
Sunday, October 1st at 11:00 am ET at the Lincoln Financial Field

Why Bet on the Eagles?
The Eagles come into this match after taking down every opponent they have faced off so far, placing the Patriots, Vikings, and Buccaneers in their list. This means they are one of two teams in the NFC who have a clean record.
Jalen Hurts has 740 yards and six touchdowns of total offense with three interceptions through three games as he continues his role as Philadelphia’s leader. The Eagles have their own Swift-Kelce duo with running back D’Andre Swift and center Jason Kelce.
Philadelphia battled to a 25-11 road win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where Hurts threw two interceptions of his own.
Why Bet on the Commanders?
The Washington Commanders had a great start, taking two straight wins after they faced the Cardinals and Broncos. However, they were completely exposed in their first match against a competent team, as the Buffalo Bills gave them a beating to remember.
Sam Howell is in his first season fully at the helm of the Commanders and has 671 passing yards, three touchdowns, and five interceptions. Running back Brian Robinson Jr. has added 216 yards and two scores. On the defense, Chase Young has returned and has six tackles and 1.5 sacks in two appearances.
In their loss to the Bills by 37-3 Howell threw four of his picks.
Eagles vs. Commanders Final Betting Analysis:
Both teams have first-year offensive coordinators. For the Eagles, Brian Johnson seeks to fill in the shoes of Shane Steichen, who’s now the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. Eric Bienemy hopes to inject the juju into the Commanders that he used to help the Kansas City Chiefs win two Super Bowls in four years.
In our opinion, the Commanders came back to reality last week versus the Bills, and they will have another hard dose of reality this week when they face the undefeated Eagles. These two teams play a physical brand of football, but Philadelphia has more playmakers on its roster.
Go for a straight win in the Philadelphia Eagles Moneyline. If you bet $100 at -450, you will gain $22 for a total payout of $122.
