MLB Dream
The Washington Commanders will travel to Philadelphia to take on the undefeated Eagles in a Monday Night Football matchup.
The Eagles are coming off a nice Thursday night win against a terrible Houston Texans team. The Commanders are in turmoil with Dan Snyder looking to sell the team.
Taylor Heinicke Over 212.5 Passing Yards
(William Hill, +102)
Taylor Heinicke is the definition of a wild card. He is an extremely exciting player to watch and goes absolutely all out in every game. Heinicke is a player who can easily get over this mark tonight. Two weeks ago, he threw for 279 yards against the Indianapolis Colts in a 17-16 win on the road, which shows he can get the job done in this situation. I would expect Heinicke to have plenty of chances against a very good Eagles team that should have a lead early in the game against the Commanders. I anticipate the Commanders to rely on Heinicke to make plays, especially scrambling outside the pocket.
Miles Sanders 67.5 Rushing Yards
(DraftKings, -120)
Miles Sanders has hit this mark in every game but two this year. In a game that favors the Eagles and Sanders’ usage being up at home, I would expect him to hit this mark pretty easily. Sanders should be on track to get 15-20 carries Monday night and cruise past the 67.5-yard mark. The threat of Jalen Hurts in the read-option attack also helps Sanders find wide open lanes in the run game.
