Injury note. Jalen Hurts is out again, so Tanner McKee starts for Philadelphia, and DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks are out too. Saquon Barkley is off the injury report and good to go. Washington is without Terry McLaurin, Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jaylin Lane.

Game type: Lean favorite, grind

The Commanders are favored but not by much. The field will tilt toward Commanders MVPs without fully abandoning the Eagles.

How to build it: Make most MVPs Commanders, keep a meaningful share on the Eagles, and always bring back at least one player from the other side. A low total makes kickers and defenses more useful than usual.

What the slate shape says before you look at a single player

Our simulations put this game at 40.9 total points, with the Commanders at 23.5 and the Eagles at 17.4, a spread of about 6 points. The Commanders are the side the field will lean on, but this is not a blowout on paper, and the Eagles are very much alive.

Even so, do not build only one side. Our study of 163 showdown slates found the perfect lineup took players from both sides in almost every slate, with a three to three or four to two split accounting for the clear majority. Building entirely on one team is the single most common way to lose a showdown you had right.
