The pre-game matchup
The Commanders visited the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday, September 13 at 4:25 PM ET in Week 1.
Last season (2025), the Commanders had the 18th-ranked offense by EPA per play (expected points added per snap) and the 30th-ranked defense. Meanwhile, the Eagles had the 16th-ranked offense and the 8th-ranked defense. When the Commanders have the ball, a 18th-ranked offense (+0.006 EPA per play) meets a 8th-ranked defense (−0.079 allowed); when the Eagles have it, a 16th-ranked offense (+0.026) meets a 30th-ranked defense (+0.143 allowed).
By success rate (the share of plays that gain expected points), the Commanders offense was at 45.7% (10th) and the Eagles offense at 43.1% (20th). Through the air, the Commanders averaged +0.038 EPA per dropback (18th) against a Eagles pass defense ranked 7th; the Eagles averaged +0.073 (14th) against a Commanders pass defense ranked 30th. The Commanders scored 20.9 points per game (22nd) and allowed 26.5 (27th); the Eagles scored 22.3 (19th) and allowed 19.1 (5th). The new season has no games yet, so these are last season's full-season numbers; rosters change over the offseason.
The Eagles closed as 6-point favorites at home against the Commanders. The spread opened at Eagles -4.5. The total closed at 43.5, down from 46.5 at the open. After removing the vig, the closing moneyline (Commanders +215, Eagles -267) prices the Commanders at 30% and the Eagles at 70%.
