The Commanders are heading to Philadelphia this weekend to face the Eagles for the third time this season. This time, the game will decide who will represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. Here are five bold predictions for the game:
Austin Ekeler Has 100 All-Purpose Yards

He is a big part of the offense, especially as a pass-catching back.
Brian Robinson Jr. Rushes For Under 40 Yards

The Eagles have a good run defense and I believe it will be Jayden Daniels and Ekeler who success running against them.

The Commanders are going to have to have a big games offensively to beat the Eagles. That means that Daniels is going to have to put up big numbers.

He has had a monster season, had a big game against the Lions last week and needs to repeat.
