Patriots picks
Oliver Thomas: Jayden Daniels’ most recent start spanned no touchdowns, no turnovers, a completion rate of 50 percent and just a handful of ground yards against Mike Tomlin’s Steelers. The No. 2 overall pick now heads to Lincoln Financial Field to trade drives with Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. I’ll side with an Eagles team that got to rest the entire fourth quarter last Sunday. | Eagles 31, Commanders 23
Brian Hines: We still have our doubts about Nick Sirianni, but the Eagles head coach has his team playing better with five straight wins coming off the bye. Jayden Daniels’ struggles could continue another week against an Eagles defense averaging less than 18 points per game, while Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley will find yards against a vulnerable Commanders run defense. | Eagles 27, Commanders 23
Bernd Buchmasser: Jayden Daniels cooling off recently is not the only problem the Commanders might have against the Eagles. Their 27th-ranked run defense in terms of EPA/play will be challenged relentlessly on the ground by Saquon Barkley, Jalen Hurts, and the fifth-ranked run offense in football in the same category. | Eagles 28, Commanders 21
