The writers of Fly Eagles Nation have made their predictions.
Antonio Perez: Eagles 38-17
Hurts outperforms Wentz in their first game as opponents. Hurts throws a pair of scores to Dallas Goedert and runs another in himself. The Eagles’ defense gets to Wentz forcing three turnovers.
Kevin Brzostek: Eagles 27-17
The Eagles are looking for their first 3-0 start since the 2016 season. Jalen Hurts is playing at a high level and Philadelphia has a dominant rushing attack. Carson Wentz will keep the game close in the first half before the Eagles pressure gets to him later on.
Stadium Rant Predictions
A few of our affiliate writers from various Stadium Rant sites have made their predictions as well.
Emmanuel King (Commanders Capitol): Eagles 34-30
We’ve seen different showings all-around from both teams. One thing is for sure though, both teams will look to continue to put on a show offensively as both are in the top 10 in points per game. Wentz and the Commanders showed their ability to score points in a hurry in both of their previous contests, while the Eagles have shown to be just as unstoppable as they lead the league in yards through Week Two. I expect a somewhat high-scoring game capped off by late-game heroics in this divisional showdown.
Megan Hall (Indy Intercept): Commanders 27-24
I cannot believe I’m picking Carson Wentz to play better than Jalen Hurts, but here we are. I’m just not quite sure about Hurts yet. I need him show me more. He played a very good game against the Vikings, but I want to see if he can continue the trend with spreading the ball more and getting playmakers involved.
Ronnie Eastham (Bills Beat): Eagles 31-21
While I like the Commanders as an improved team, particularly on the offensive side of the ball, I don’t believe they are on the same level as the Eagles this year. The Eagles bring a solid defense and can put up some points.
Gage P. Cheslock (Stadium Rant): Eagles 38-17
Hurts is going to torch the commanders weak secondary, and Wentz is due for just an overall horrible game.
