Washington Commanders Vs Philadelphia Eagles

An NFC East showdown between the (8-0) Philadelphia Eagles and the (4-5) Washington Commanders will take place in Philadelphia. 

The commanders had a three game winning streak that is until they came up short against the Minnesota Vikings last week. Taylor Heinicke will get the start against the Eagles, on the season Heinicke has 629 yards passing, five touchdowns and three interceptions. With a Commander’s offense that isn’t that high powered they’ll need to be at their best and play near perfection against eagles who are the third best defense in the league. As for the commanders defense they’ve been in the middle of the pack in the NFL haven’t been that bad but haven’t been that good either but they’ll have a challenge on their hands against a high powered Eagles team. 

The Eagles have not played since beating the Houston Texans 29-17 last Thursday. Philadelphia has gone eight consecutive weeks without losing and remain the only unbeaten team in the NFL. Quarterback Jalen Hurts has had himself a season connecting with wide receiver AJ Brown , Tight end Dallas Goedert, and wide receiver DeVonta Smith. The eagles defense is the third best defense in the league and they also have added Robert Quinn to their roster , they’ll be looking to sack commander’s quarterback Heinicke multiple times due to a weak commander’s offensive line.

The Eagles look forward to keep their unbeaten streak alive and go (9-0) on the season, and the commanders will want to spoil their rivals’ perfect season but it will be a difficult task since they are playing In Philadelphia.

Score Prediction: Eagles Win (30-10)

Russell’s 30 Point Performance Propels Wolves To Victory Over Cavs (129-124)

Russell’s 30 Point Performance Propels Wolves To Victory Over Cavs (129-124)

It was a beautiful sight to see for any Minnesota Timberwolves fan tonight. This was the first complete game as a unit everyone had it all going tonight. The tone was set by D’Angelo Russell “Mr.Ice In His Veins” as he came out aggressive. Tonight was the perfect example of what Russell can be for this team on a nightly basis. Russell came out getting his teammates involved with his high IQ passing against the Cavs. Some of the plays Russell made tonight to get his teammates easy buckets should be able to transfer over chemistry-wise. Now let’s get to his offense because Russell was lights out tonight. No one on the Cavs could stop #0 as he was on fire tonight. In this game, D’Angelo Russell finished with 30 points on 11/13 attempts and 12 assists. This was the best way to get out of a mini-shooting slump and that’s exactly what Russell did tonight was shut the haters up. When Russell plays like this it opens up so many things for this Timberwolves offense.

 

Karl-Anthony Towns shot 11/16 from the field against the Cavs and made them pay every chance he got. Big KAT finished with 29 points and 13 rebounds as he was as dominant as we have seen all season. The Cavs put Mobley/Love on Karl-Anthony but it didn’t matter because he was able to take advantage inside and outside. When Towns plays like this then anything is possible with this team and the Cavs found that out tonight. Towns counterpart Rudy Gobert was able to get another double-double tonight as he finished with 15 points and 13 rebounds. Gobert was doing exactly what Minnesota fans expected him to do tonight. That was to dominate in the paint with rebounds and to get those inside points. Gobert made a huge contribution on the defensive end and his presence was felt all night.

 

The Cavaliers came out with some fire in the 2nd half as they got the game closer than Minnesota expected. The Timberwolves were up by 24 points in this game and the Cavs got it all the way down to 2 points. The reason for that comeback was simply Darius Garland. In the 2nd half, Garland looked like a whole new player and it was crazy to see him hitting everything he put up almost. On the night without Donovan Mitchell in the lineup, Garland put up a career-high 51 points as the Cavs just couldn’t get it done late down the stretch. The Timberwolves will be heading to Orlando next as they look to stack up some wins on the road.
