00:00Why are the Eagles only three and a half point favorites in this game?

00:05I feel like that's the public move here.

00:07Three and a half point favorites total, 45 and a half.

00:11I mean, these teams are playing for jockeying within the seedings, but they're really not

00:17playing for the playoffs.

00:18Both teams are going to be in.

00:21I still have some concerns for Washington, Adam, I'm not going to lie.

00:24They haven't looked great.

00:25The Phillies look like the best team in the NFC, but there's a reason they make these

00:28point spreads, right?

00:29They don't make them to lose, they make them to build another hotel.

00:32Well, look, where I'll push back a little bit, I would tend to agree with you that your

00:38commanders here are going to be a playoff team, and then obviously once you get into

00:42the dance, anything is possible.

00:43But I wouldn't say that's etched in stone.

00:45I mean, the Eagles are going to win this division.

00:47Obviously, it's a massively important game for Washington, you know, if the commanders

00:51have any hope of taking the division.

00:53But Philadelphia, you know, it's going to win the NFC East, may even win the NFC in

00:58general for the regular season anyway, because as we know, tied for the top spot with both

01:03Detroit and Minnesota record wise.

01:05But Washington is sitting right now in the seventh spot, seventh and final spot in the

01:09NFC in terms of playoff teams.

01:11And it has just a I'm looking there right now, one game lead.

01:14That's it, a one game lead on on on Seattle, you know, sitting one game behind Green Bay.

01:20So it's, you know, the bottom of of that conference at the moment in terms of the

01:26playoff push is pretty jammed up.

01:28You know, if we see Washington lose a couple of games in a row, which is not out of the

01:33question, and Seattle, which I don't really believe, is going to get hot and, you know,

01:37Washington could fall out.

01:38So, you know, Jaden Daniels, at least the feather in his cap is when these teams matched

01:43up back in mid-November and Washington collapsed toward the end.

01:47Philadelphia scored 24th quarter points to escape and win that game.

01:50You know, in that contest, Daniels was not right.

01:54He was still dealing with the rib injury.

01:56He's healthy now.

01:57I think he is going to be better.

01:59That being said, it does feel Philly is the side.
