If you'd prefer to save Kansas City for their matchup with a bafflingly bad Broncos defense, the Philadelphia Eagles stand out as a smart Week 4 choice.
They are beginning to find their groove offensively and have scored at least 25 points in every contest this season. Philly is an eight-point favorite over the Commanders, who have averaged just 19.3 points per game.
This won't be a track meet, though, as both the Eagles and Commanders have quality defenses. In what should be a tough, physical divisional battle, fans should trust Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia offense much more than Sam Howell and the Commanders.
Howell looked like a capable starting quarterback over the first two weeks, but he was flustered and mistake-prone against the Buffalo Bills in Week 4. He has been done no favors by a suspect offensive line that surrendered nine sacks in Week 3 alone.
Against the Bills, the 23-year-old was consistently under pressure, and he threw four interceptions as a result.
The Eagles have a tremendous pass rush that will exploit a Washington line that has given up 19 sacks already this season. It's hard to see Howell getting much going against Philadelphia's front, and he could be in store for another multiple-turnover game.
This is a very favorable matchup for Philadelphia, as is next week's game against the Los Angeles Rams—a team that surrendered six sacks on Monday night.
