Week 11 starts with a mouth-watering NFC East clash in Philadelphia as the Washington Commanders (7-3) face the Eagles (7-2).

UK betting sites have the best odds on the most popular markets for the first meeting of the season between these two teams with aspirations of reaching the Super Bowl.

NFL Week 11 Thursday Night Football Predictions:

Commanders @ Eagles Prediction: Eagles To Cover In Win

The Philadelphia Eagles started the season well against Green Bay and then sputtered for several weeks. At 2-2, a spark was needed. 

The Eagles have rattled off five straight wins blowing out Dallas last week felt like a mere formality in the perfect 'get-right' game. 

Then there are the upstart Washington Commanders (7-3), whose fans are believing in this team’s chances to win the NFC East. Jayden Daniels’ ability to run and throw accurately could cause problems for the Eagles’ defense.

Washington, worryingly, could not figure out Russell Wilson and the Steelers' passing game on Sunday in a 28-27 loss. 

Jalen Hurts has improved over the past five games as the Eagles' offense has looked more balanced (160+ yards passing and 160+ rushing in each of the last three games).

The Panel pick Philadelphia to squeeze out a cover on Thursday night.

The Panel Pick 1: Philadelphia Eagles -3.5 To Beat The Washington Commanders - 10/11 With SpreadEx

Commanders Vs Eagles Prediction: Picks For Daniels And Hurts

Philadelphia have often won the turnover battle during their five-game winning streak, thanks to a +7 turnover differential. 

The Eagles are 4-1 this season when winning the turnover battle. The good news for Philly is that Washington have not generated more than two turnovers in a game this season.

Division games can take on a life of their own and nerves could rise between these top two teams hoping to win the NFC East.

Mobile quarterbacks like Daniels (Commanders) and Hurts (Eagles) increase the chances of fumbles and mistakes. No one is expecting seven turnovers on Thursday night, but three could be reasonable. 

Two young quarterbacks go up and down the field on Thursday night. Expect fun and a few mistakes along the way. If you can't get odds for over 2.5 total turnovers, go for each team to have an interception. 

The Panel Pick 2: Jayden Daniels And Jalen Hurts Over 0.5 INT each - 29/20 With Unibet

Commanders Vs Eagles Betting: Bank On Barkley

The Philadelphia Eagles rushing attack should add plenty of rushing yards to the box score, but will Saquon Barkley or Hurts finish with more? 

Barkley has 991 rushing yards already this season, while Hurts has 371 in nine games. The pair have scored 16 touchdowns on the ground this season. 

Hurts has run the ball 13 times or more in all four home games in 2024. However, Barkley only had 14 rushing attempts last week. Is there room for both to run amok?

The answer is likely yes. Philadelphia should exceed 150 yards rushing against the Commanders, a mark they have hit in four straight games. Take the Over on rushing yards for both Barkley and Hurts.

The Panel are going for Barkley to go over 100 yards on the ground this Thursday night.

The Panel Pick 3: Saquon Barkley Over 94.5 Rushing Yards - 22/25 With Unibet
