The biggest key to the game could be the Eagles' defensive line against the Commanders' offensive line. Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis are the two players RB believes could determine this game. Washington has major questions up front after losing Laremy Tunsil to a torn triceps and making several changes along the offensive line. RB believes that could create a nightmare situation for Jayden Daniels against an Eagles defensive front that also features Jalyx Hunt, Nolan Smith and potentially Jonathan Greenard. RB is predicting the Eagles could record six or seven sacks in the game and make life extremely difficult for Daniels. Philadelphia also needs to establish Saquon Barkley and the running game early. Rather than asking Jalen Hurts to carry the offense immediately, RB believes the Eagles should return to the complementary football that helped them win the NFC Championship against Washington in 2024. There are plenty of questions surrounding the Eagles' offense heading into Week 1, especially with Sean Mannion taking over as the offensive play caller. Fans are also eager to see DeVonta Smith operate as Philadelphia's No. 1 receiver and how much rookie Makai Lemon contributes against a banged-up Commanders secondary. RB also breaks down Philadelphia's new depth chart, which contains several surprises. Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee are both listed at QB2, Jonathan Greenard is listed as a co-starter alongside Jalyx Hunt and Nolan Smith, Marcus Epps is starting at safety over Michael Carter, and Makai Lemon has surprisingly been named the Eagles' punt returner. On the Washington side, RB examines Jayden Daniels, Stefon Diggs, Terry McLaurin, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Rashad White and the Commanders' offensive line. Washington will also be without top cornerback Trey Amos, while Dorrance Armstrong is suspended. RB explains why he believes the Eagles have a major advantage heading into Week 1 and why Washington could struggle to score against Philadelphia's defense. The Eagles are favored by 5.5 points heading into Sunday's 4:25 PM ET kickoff. Will Philadelphia start the season 1-0?
