Washington Commanders vs. Philadelphia Eagles history

According to USA Today, the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles have faced off 180 times. The Commanders hold the edge in the rivalry with 90 wins, the Eagles have 85 wins, and the other five games ended in a tie.

However, the Eagles have been the dominant side between the franchises in the past ten games. They've won six games to the Commanders four, including six of the last eight games stretching back to 2021.

This season has been an even contest between the NFC powerhouses, with the Eagles winning in Week 11 while the Commanders took the dub in Week 16. Both teams will be reliant on their Pro Bowl-laden offenses and stingy defenses in the NFC championship game.

What team is favored in the NFC championship game?

According to USA Today, the Philadelphia Eagles are significant favorites heading into the NFC championship game. The spread has the Eagles as -4.5 favorites, the money line has the game at Philadelphia (-225) and Washington (+155), while the over/under is 48.

The Eagles enter the game fresh off an impressive win over Sean McVay's LA Rams. They never looked like losing the game as they reached their first NFC championship game since the 2022 season, where they made the Super Bowl only to lose to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Washington Commanders were even more impressive in the divisional round as they ruthlessly dispatched the Detroit Lions. Jayden Daniels continued his fairytale rookie season by piecing up Dan Campbell's side, and he'll now look to be the first rookie starting quarterback to lead his side to the Super Bowl.
