The Washington Commanders are now even bigger underdogs for Sunday’s NFC title game in Philadelphia against the Eagles. After opening as 4.5-point favorites, the Eagles are favored by six points at most sportsbooks.
Guard Sam Cosmi, who the Commanders announced Sunday would miss the remainder of the postseason with a torn ACL, appears to be the biggest factor influencing the betting line.
On the other side of the ball, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts appeared to be hampered by a knee injury in Sunday’s win over the Los Angeles Rams, but he didn’t miss any playing time. In a postgame press conference, the Alabama product said he expects to play against the Commanders.
According to The Action Network, 65% of bets for Sunday’s game favor the Commanders. The larger wagers, however, lean toward the Eagles, with 51% of the total handle on Philadelphia to cover the spread.
