Eagles vs Commanders Odds, Picks, and Predictions Week 8: Howell Struggles Against Philly's Pressure
The Washington Commanders may have only one win in their last four games, but they do have the respect of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Washington has put up a fight against its NFC East rivals in recent run-ins, going 3-4 straight up in the last seven matchups but boasting a 4-2-1 spread mark in those games.
The Commanders stayed within the 10-point line when these foes faced off in Week 4, with the Eagles needing overtime to avoid an outright upset.
With the series swinging to D.C., the NFL odds have Philadelphia laying just shy of a touchdown on the road in Week 8.

Josh Allen odds will be among the most popular bets on Monday afternoon, as the Buffalo Bills host the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL Wild Card Round following a one-day delay due to dangerous weather conditions.
The Bills come in as heavy favorites in the Wild Card odds over the Steelers, and quarterback play will play a major factor in the game. Allen may make more mistakes than fans like to see, but he’s also prolific with his arm and his legs, which have given the Bills reasonable NFL odds to win the Super Bowl this season.
Keep reading to learn which NFL picks I like best on Monday in my spotlight on Josh Allen odds.

The Bengals will try to earn their stripes tonight when they host the Commanders in primetime.
Cincinnati finds itself at the bottom of the AFC North following a shocking opening week loss to the New England Patriots and a heartbreaking last-second defeat to the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2. This marks the third straight year that the Bengals have begun the season 0-2.
Washington, meanwhile, is riding high following a Week 2 win over the New York Giants. The Commanders appear to have found a real field general in Jayden Daniels, who has thrown for 410 yards and zero interceptions in his first two career starts.
There are a number of subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this evening’s gam…
Zinedine Zidane did not select Gareth Bale in Real Madrid’s squad for their Champions League last-16 second leg against Manchester City on Friday as the Welshman “preferred not to play”.
Yet it is understood that Bale made the decision as he believed he would not be selected for a game in which Real need to overturn a 2-1 deficit, and so did not wish to travel.
Bale’s long goodbye leaves Real with a big bill and only themselves to blame | Sid LoweRead more
Zidane was asked why he did not choose the Welshman. “People say a lot of things,” Real’s coach said. “We have respect between us. The only thing to say – and this is a personal conversation between us – is that he preferred not to play. The res…
Aston Villa have appointed the former Blackpool manager Neil Critchley as Steven Gerrard’s new assistant.
Critchley – who led Blackpool to promotion to the Championship in 2021 after a playoff win over Lincoln – will once again link up with Gerrard whom he knows from his days at Liverpool. The 43-year-old replaces Michael Beale, who became the new Queens Park Rangers manager this week.

The move will be seen as a coup for Gerrard who has enticed one of the most highly thought of coaches in the game to join his staff. Having moved from Liverpool’s academy to take control of Blackpool in March 2020, that season was curtailed…
Newcastle accept they may have to sell one of their best players this summer as they strive to remain on the right side of the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations. Although the club’s latest accounts revealed a loss of £155m over the past three seasons – ostensibly in excess of the £105m PSR limit – it is understood that money invested in the women’s team, charity foundation and academy can be removed from the deficit, leaving Newcastle on the right side of the law.
“We’re compliant,” said Darren Eales, the chief executive, before refusing to rule out the possibilities of “trading” a player such as Bruno Guimarães, Alexander Isak or Sven Botman or even leaving St James’ Park for a new stadium.

Kyrie Irving, who is steadily descending into the depths of Fake Deepness, is still one of the most beautiful things to behold on a basketball court. Here are some good camera angles; you’ll need to watch everything twice to have even a vague sense of what happened. Kyrie knows we live in a simulation. The aliens who run it have just started button-mashing. …
Some people are fans of the Los Angeles Chargers. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Los Angeles Chargers. This 2019 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here.Your team: Los Angeles Chargers. Your 2018 record: 12-4. I’m still not over how this C-List Batman villain of a team went out in the playoffs. The Chargers crushed the Ravens on the road in the wild card round thanks to an out-there defensive game plan and the fact that the Ravens themselves sat there in a base defense that the Chargers’ offense rarely had to fear. Then the Chargers went to Foxboro for the divisional round and got their shit ruined by a Pats team that finished the regular season with a worse record. The score was 35-0 at the half. And you know W…
Alex Smith isn’t the type to throw deep bombs, even in Hail Mary situations, but at the end of the first half today against the Cowboys, the Chiefs QB found a way around that limitation. On the final play before the clock hit zero, Smith was in his own territory and threw a relatively short pass across the middle to an uncovered Tyreek Hill, over 40 yards away from a touchdown. But thanks to some horrendous prevent defense from Dallas, Hill danced his way into the end zone for a very strange, unexpected score. “I’ve never seen that in my entire time in football!” exclaimed Tony Romo after the score. And if Romo didn’t see it coming, you know that play came out of nowhere. …
Deadspin is pleased to announce our 2013 Bear of the Year. There were a great many bears to choose, but ultimately our decision was a simple one: Bicycle-Riding Bear Who Ate a Monkey. Some may think this choice a macabre one, preferring instead a more uplifting bear, like, say, Tetherball Bear or Dumpster Bear. Those people lack a complete understanding of what makes the bear worthy of our adulation. As much as we fawn over the bear for being precocious and adorable, we must never forget that the bear is a powerful animal, one with awe-inspiring strength and the instinct to kill. The bear, at its heart, is wild, and that is something we should not lose sight of. To ignore this side of the bear is to banish it to the anthropomorphic realms of Winnie the Pooh and Gentle Ben, thus cha…
