Commanders vs. Eagles NFL PrizePicks Predictions
Here are the Commanders vs. Eagles NFL PrizePicks predictions:
Jayden Daniels Higher Than 21.5 Passing Completions
RotoGrinders’ projection of 23.1 completions for Daniels slightly surpasses Underdogs’ estimate. Our simulations suggest this selection offers a 5.24% advantage and a 63.04% success rate, pointing to a favorable outcome. Daniels has shown consistency in surpassing this threshold, achieving higher than 21 completions in 12 games this season. As 6-point underdogs, the Commanders may be forced to air it out more in this spot.
Austin Ekeler Lower Than 25.5 Receiving Yards
RotoGrinders’ projection of 19.94 receiving yards for Ekeler falls short of the set threshold. Our simulations indicate this selection offers a 3.79% advantage with a 61.52% success rate, suggesting a +EV spot. Ekeler is up against a formidable Philadelphia Eagles defense, which ranks 6th in limiting receiving yards to running backs per game this season.
Even though this negatively correlates with the above Daniels selection, this will create a higher multiplier for us.
Jalen Hurts Lower Than 7.5 Rushing Attempts
RotoGrinders projects him at 6.37 rushing attempts, which is below the threshold. Additionally, their simulations show this pick has a 4.78% edge and a 56.39% hit rate, indicating a favorable probability of success. He has actually averaged more carries than this per game this season, but that’s also why we are getting a higher multiplier for selecting lower than in this spot.
