Our FullTime Fantasy Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 17 breaks down the fantasy and betting trends you need to know for Thursday night's contest. 2022's Thursday Night Football finale appears to be a mismatch.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys just knocked off the Philadelphia Eagles and are riding high as 10-point road favorites. The over/under is 39.5. Matchup

Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 11 Last week's AFC North Thursday night shootout more than lived up to the hype. Conversely, this week's NFC East tilt looks like a worthy successor. The upstart Washington Commanders travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. Our Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 11 has everything you'll need to know about this intriguing battle for the division lead. The Commanders have done a 180. It's funny how competent ownership and a terrific rookie quarterback can turn a franchise around seemingly overnight. At 7-3, Dan Quinn's club is 3-2 on the road and 2-0 in division play. Meanwhile, the Eagles (7-2) sit atop the division standings with a slim half-game lead. Nick Siriani has led Philly to five consecutive wins after destroying the Cowboys last week 34-6. This game opened with the Eagles as touchdown favorites. However, a ton of action on the Commanders has driven the line down from Philadelphia -7 to just 3.5. Conversely, the total has jumped up two points to 48.5. Matchup

TEAM OFFENSE PASS RUSH YDS/PLAY POINTS

Washington Commanders 4 7 3 4 3

Philadelphia Eagles 6 24 2 11 9

Looking at the above stats, these teams are as evenly matched as the standings indicate. However, on defense, it is a different story. The Eagles allow 274.1 yards per game, which ranks second overall. Philadelphia has surrendered the fifth-fewest points. They also rank second against the pass and fifth versus the run. This will be a tough matchup for Washington, who has had no problems moving the ball. Nick Siriani's crew doesn't pass a ton but they don't have to. The Eagles are content to use their ground game and take play-action shots downfield. While the Commanders have vastly improved defensively, they still allow the fourth-most rushing yards (142.7 per game). That plays right into Philly's hands. This looks like a promising watch, with both teams mounting top-6 offenses that are top-10 in scoring. Therefore, the fantasy points should pile up. Washington Offense Jayden Daniels has more than lived up to the hype. The No. 2 pick enters Week 11 as fantasy football's...
