Philadelphia's Defense +550
Commanders vs Eagles NFC Championship Game Predictions & Best Bets
Defense wins championships, but it could also help bettors cash longshot bets on Sunday. We have faith in Philadelphia's ability to find the endzone against the Commanders.
The Eagles have been on a warpath in the playoffs. So far, they've forced three interceptions and three fumble recoveries, extending their elite play from the regular season. Altogether, they've forced 16 turnovers across their last five games, turning one into a touchdown.
This is another value play that might be needed to offset the steep price of Saquon Barkley. Still, this value is not worth passing up.
Saquon Barkley -250
Anytime Touchdown Picks: Bills | Chiefs | Commanders
His anytime touchdown price tells you everything you need to know about Saquon Barkley. The Philadelphia Eagles running back has been one of the top scorers in the league this year. He should have no problem trampling the Washington Commanders' run defense.
Barkley is coming off a two-touchdown performance in the Divisional Round. While it was only the second game he's scored in since Week 13, Barkley should have no problem replicating that performance on Sunday. The Commanders gave up three rushing touchdowns and 201 yards to the Detroit Lions, perpetuating a longstanding problem. They had the third-worst run defense in the regular season and sit in the bottom half of the NFL in rushing touchdowns allowed.
Barkley remains a focal point on offense. He has no fewer than 25 carries in any of his past four games and will maintain that workload against the Commanders. You can count on the All-Pro to find the endzone.
Spread: Eagles -6.5 | Moneyline: Eagles -290 | Commanders +235 | Total: 47.5
DeVonta Smith +185
Commanders vs. Eagles Odds & Predictions, Free Picks, Prop Bets Today & Injury Updates
DeVonta Smith's scoring well has run dry recently, but we like the sure-handed receiver's chance of making a big splash in the NFC Championship Game.
Everyone is fawning over A.J. Brown, but the lingering knee issue has limited the Eagles' wide receiver. That's allowed Smith to fly under the radar and be installed as a +185 value pick in the anytime touchdown market. Smith has been the most reliable pass-catcher for the Eagles this season, and his proficiency is etched in recent box scores.
Over the last two games, Smith has caught all eight passes thrown his way. Moreover, he's caught 20 of the last 23 passes thrown his way over his previous four, albeit only resulting in two touchdowns. Nevertheless, he's a prime candidate to buck that trend versus Washington.
Dallas Goedert +310
Top Player Props: Commanders | Eagles | Bills | Chiefs | Travis Kelce
Undoubtedly, Dallas Goedert is our top-value pick to score a touchdown at Lincoln Financial Field. The seasoned veteran is Jalen Hurts's safety blanket in the red zone, and the Commanders have been defenseless against tight ends.
Like Smith, Goedert has reserved his best performances for the playoffs. The former second-round pick has caught eight of ten targets this postseason, translating those catches to 103 yards and a touchdown. Further, he's been a regular target in the red zone. Despite limited action, Goedert had nine red zone targets throughout the regular season, catching five passes for two touchdowns.
Last week, Sam LaPorta had six receptions for 51 yards and a touchdown. In doing so, opposing tight ends have now caught 16 of the previous 20 passes thrown their way against the Commanders, yielding two scores. Goedert will be the latest tight end to victimize Washington and offers a promising +310 price point.
Kenneth Gainwell +950
Commanders vs Eagles Same Game Parlay
With what Saquon Barkley has been doing, it's been easy to overlook Kenneth Gainwell. The Eagles' versatile running back has played second fiddle all season, but the music hasn't stopped playing yet. He presents as an intriguing dark horse to find the endzone on Sunday.
Gainwell's workload has been sparse, but he's been effective when called upon. He had one rush for ten yards in last week's win, adding one ten-yard reception. While he's only called upon intermittently, Gainwell is making the most of his limited opportunities.
This is a long shot, but one worth taking. Washington has been porous against running backs all year, and Gainwell possesses breakaway speed. He's worth a flyer in the touchdown market.
