The Eagles-Commanders trilogy ends on Sunday with a Super Bowl berth on the line.
After splitting their regular seasons series 1-1, Washington and Philadelphia are set to meet in an NFC Championship rubber match to decide who will represent their conference in the big game.
But if Jayden Daniels is going to become the first rookie quarterback to start in a Super Bowl he's definitely going to have to earn it.
According to ESPN Analytics, Daniels and the Commanders are only being given a 36.3% chance to upset the Eagles on the road at Lincoln Financial Field. With Philly having a 63.7% chance per the Worldwide Leader.
The network's FPI is riding with the high-powered Eagles who survived their snowy matchup vs. the Rams in the divisional round and have one of the most red hot players in the league right now in 2,000-yard rusher Saquon Barkley.
Barkley and the Eagles are six-point favorites according to ESPN BET and a lot of that has to do with their homefield advantage and Washington's lack of experience.
But that hasn't stopped the Commanders to this point. Who are fresh off of an upset of the one-seeded Lions behind some massive performances from every phase of their offense.
Dan Quinn's team has already proven that it can go into a hostile and environment and come away with a win.
And with Jalen Hurts potentially banged up and some other injuries in Philly, don't be surprised if this one is a little closer than the experts think.
