NFL Best Bets: Commanders vs. Eagles Best Prop Bets for Week 18

Published:

By: Cooper Albers

Disincentivized division rivals close out the regular season on Sunday afternoon, as the Philadelphia Eagles host the Washington Commanders at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Eagles (11–5, 1st NFC East) have already locked up the division title and will rest most of their starters before defending their Super Bowl title. The Commanders (4–12, 3rd NFC East) won’t reach the postseason and trudge into Sunday led by third-string quarterback Josh Johnson.

The squads first met during Week 16 in Landover, Maryland, where the Eagles secured a 29–18 victory.

Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET. Philadelphia enters as a 4.5-point home favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook, while Washington is listed as a +190 underdog. The game’s total is set at 38.5 points. 

Here are the top player prop bets for Sunday’s Week 18 matchup between the Commanders and Eagles.


Commanders vs. Eagles Best Prop Bets

Jacory Croskey-Merritt Anytime Touchdown (+155)

Washington running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt has kicked it into high gear as he nears the finish line on his rookie year. The former Arizona standout has doubled his season touchdown total, finding the end zone four times over his last three games — including a pair of scores in Week 17 against the Cowboys.

“Bill” also punched in a touchdown against the Eagles a week earlier, even though he struggled to pile up yardage. With the Commanders turning to third-string quarterback Josh Johnson under center, expect them to lean on their ground game — and for the rookie to close his first season with a fifth touchdown in four games.


Tanner McKee 220+ Pass Yards (-124)

With Jalen Hurts sidelined, Philadelphia will hand the ball to third-year signal-caller Tanner McKee. While the 25-year-old Stanford product has thrown just three passes this year, he enters Sunday’s contest in a role he’s handled successfully before.

Before Philadelphia’s march to the Super Bowl last season, the Eagles turned to McKee to start the regular-season finale against the Giants. The result? He threw for 269 yards and two touchdowns in a 20–13 win. 

McKee seems poised to replicate that late-season success against a Commanders secondary that has allowed the NFL’s fifth-most opponent passing yards per game this season.
