Looking at the NFL odds for Saturday’s games, it’s clear which is the marquee matchup of the day. The Eagles are a 7-point road favorite over the injury-depleted Commanders in the early game.

Best NFL Player Props for Eagles vs. Commanders and Packers vs. Bears
Here are my top player prop bets, with kickoff scheduled for 5:00 PM ET on Saturday, December 20th:
- Marcus Mariota Over/Under 18.5 Completions
- Jayden Reed Over/Under 3.5 Receptions
- Caleb Williams Over/Under 31.5 Pass Attempts
Marcus Mariota UNDER 18.5 Completions (-130, DraftKings)
DRAFTKINGSPhiladelphia’s pass defense has been among the best units in the NFL this season. In Week 15, they limited Kenny Pickett to only 15-of-25 passing for 64 yards through the air. Pickett had the worst EPA/play of any signal caller on the slate.
Mariota is another backup quarterback who has the unenviable task of facing the Eagles’ secondary unit. Only 5 quarterbacks have finished a game against Philadelphia with a positive EPA/play in 2025. This is an extremely tough matchup for Mariota and the Washington offense.
Jayden Reed OVER 3.5 Receptions (+100, FanDuel)
FANDUELReed missed a significant portion of the season on injured reserve, but he returned to action in Week 14 as if he hadn’t missed a beat. Reed was heavily involved from the team’s opening offensive possession despite being on a snap count in his first game back.
In Week 15, he saw his snap count nearly double, catching 5 passes on 6 targets against the Broncos’ impressive pass defense. It appears as though Christian Watson is going to try to play this evening, but either way, it looks like Reed should once again play a big role in the team’s passing attack.
Caleb Williams OVER 31.5 Pass Attempts (+102, FanDuel)
FANDUELIn Chicago’s 4 losses this season, Caleb Williams has finished with 35, 30, 38, and 35 pass attempts. The only game in which he’s had fewer than 35 pass attempts in a loss was in a Week 2 blowout against the Lions when backup Tyson Bagent entered for him in the 4th quarter.
Chicago has a 10-4 record this season, but they have benefited from a soft schedule and a few improbable wins. Green Bay, even without Micah Parsons, is more than capable of beating their division rivals.
