Here are the odds for Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Football Team in Week 17 of the 2021 season. Check out the moneyline and spread oddsmakers are predicting for this week’s matchup.
The Eagles need a few things to go their way on Sunday to clinch a playoff berth in Week 17.
One of those outcomes just got a little easier.
Because Vikings starting quarterback Kirk Cousins has landed on their Reserve/COVID-19 list, which means he won’t be able to face the Packers at Lambeau on Sunday Night Football.

With Cousins, the Vikings (7-8) were clear underdogs in this game. Without him, they’ll have to rely on backup Sean Mannion, who is coming back from the COVID list, in a must-win game against the NFC’s top team.
The Eagles can clinch a playoff berth if the following things happen on Sunday:
1. Eagles beat Washington
2. Vikings lose to Packers
NFL
3. Saints lose to Panthers or 49ers beat Texans
The Eagles have to take care of business first. They kickoff against Washington at 1 p.m. on Sunday. Meanwhile, the Saints-Panthers and Texans-49ers games are in the late afternoon. And that Vikings-Packers matchup is on Sunday Night Football.
So there’s a good chance that the Eagles and their fans will be watching on Sunday night with a chance to get into the playoffs before Week 18.
