Matchup Breakdown

How the model sees it unfold — the matchups that decide the game, from 50 simulations
Keys to the Game
  • Saquon Barkley (Eagles) vs Leo Chenal (Commanders) - winner: Saquon Barkley, 5.3 yds a carry - a problem for the front.
  • Makai Lemon (Eagles) vs Trey Amos (Commanders) - winner: Makai Lemon, open on 63% of routes for 5.6/7.0, 59 yds a game - a mismatch to exploit.
In the Trenches
  • The Eagles may have to manufacture pressure, winning 50% up front for 5.7 sacks a game — Jonathan Greenard (2.5 sacks, 8.2 pressures a game) out front.
  • The Eagles' quarterback should have time; the Commanders win just 49% of reps for 4.2 sacks a game, with Odafe Oweh (2.6 sacks, 7.4 pressures a game) setting the tone.
Through the Air
  • The Eagles' aerial attack runs through Makai Lemon (59 yds a game, open on 63% of routes).
  • Terry McLaurin should find soft spots all day, open 45% of the time for 33 yds a game.
  • Zack Baun (Eagles) is the stopper here, allowing open looks on only 32% of his coverage snaps with 0.3 INT a game.
On the Ground
  • The Eagles lean on Saquon Barkley, 13 carries for 70 yds a game at 5.3 a carry, finding room off right tackle.
  • On the ground, the Commanders ride Jacory Croskey-Merritt: 13 carries, 51 yds a game (3.9 a carry), doing his damage off right tackle.
