- LB Jamin Davis
Eagles

Prediction
The Eagles are the clear favorites in this game, but the Commanders have shown that they can be a dangerous team when they are playing well. Heinicke is a capable quarterback, and McLaurin is one of the best young receivers in the NFL. If the Commanders can protect Heinicke and get McLaurin involved early, they have a chance to pull off the upset. However, the Eagles are simply too talented on both sides of the ball. The Eagles beat the Commanders by 10+ points.
