The Philadelphia Eagles put their undefeated record on the line against the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football.

The two teams faced each other back in Week 3 when the Eagles took care of business, beating Washington by a final score of 24-8. Will history repeat itself in Week 10?

Let's take a look at the latest odds for this NFC East prime time showdown.

Eagles vs. Commanders Prediction and Best Bet

The Eagles may be undefeated, and they certainly deserve to be favorites, but there have been some red flags that makes me nervous to lay double-digit points on them.

Mainly, the Eagles run defense has been a huge problem for them. Heading into week 10, they ranked 29th in opponent yards per carry, allowing opposing teams to average 5.2 yards per rush against them. We saw the Houston Texans cover the spread against them last week but running the ball effectively.

Let's also remember that Washington's defense has been strong over the past few weeks, mainly on third down and in the red zone. They rank third in opponent third down conversion rate and seventh in red zone defense. If they keep that up, they should be able to keep the Eagles in check.

I'll back the Commanders to keep this game closer than the spread indicates.
