Prediction and Conclusion

The Philadelphia Eagles are one of the hottest teams in the league, taking over the lead in the NFC North with a dominating win over the Dallas Cowboys last week. The Commanders were also on a great run but lost by a point to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Philadelphia defense enters Week 11 ranked second in the league in yards allowed with 274.1 per game and is tied for fifth in points allowed with 17.9 per game. The Eagles defense will be tested by the second overall pick for the last NFL Draft, Jayden Daniels, who has become one of the best quarterbacks in the league. The Eagles won both games last season, and these two teams will meet again in Week 16. The stakes are high as the winner of this game will most likely finish on top of the NFC North, so we go with the Eagles given the experience and home field advantage.
