Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (Demon)

‍

We correctly predicted WR Terry McLaurin cashing his touchdown scorer pick last week against the Lions in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. This week, he'll need to score in the NFC Championship, where his team needs to win to advance to the Super Bowl.

McLaurin has scored a touchdown in at least four of his last five games and has nine touchdowns in his last eight games. 

He’s Jayden Daniels favorite target and has been one of the best touchdown scorers all season, with 13 receiving touchdowns, the second-most in the league.

The Eagles have allowed two receiving touchdowns so far this postseason, but will now face a team who is sixth in the league in touchdowns per game and averaging two receiving touchdowns per game in the playoffs. 

With McLaurin taking a team-high 23.2% of the Commanders’ targets, Daniels will surely look to him to make plays on Sunday. His touchdown scorer prediction is a Demon, meaning it’s harder to win, but still worth taking at 0.5 Rush+Rec TDs.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley 1.5 Rush+Rec TDs (Demon)

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley has four touchdowns in the two games he played the Commanders in the regular season. 

He had no problem rushing against the Commanders defense, putting up 146 rushing yards in the first game and 150 rushing yards in the second.

Barkley also played a part in the Eagles receiving game as well throughout the regular season. Although it wasn’t a large part, only scoring two receiving touchdowns, he had his best receiving game against the Commanders in November with 52 receiving yards

Hurts is battling multiple injuries and will need his running back to help pick apart this Commanders defense on Sunday. One touchdown should be easy for Barkley, and it's a Goblin projection on PrizePicks, but if the Eagles want to win then Barkley may need to cash his Demon by scoring two touchdowns this weekend.

With Hurts' injury, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Eagles lean on Barkley around the end-zone to avoid Hurts' reaggrevating the injury.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels 1.5 Pass TDs (Demon)

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels is having one of the best rookie QB seasons in history and he has carried that same momentum into the playoffs so far.

He has four passing touchdowns in two playoff games, throwing two in each game, and is the postseason leader in touchdowns and passing yards thus far.

In his last game against the Eagles, a little over a month ago, he absolutely torched their defense in what would be one of his best games of the season. In that game, he had a career-high in pass attempts, QBR and touchdowns after recording 339 total yards and five touchdowns. 

The Eagles and Commanders are division rivals, so this will be their third time meeting this season. While this Eagles defense has been solid all year, their only bad game was against Daniels and the Commanders, showing that they could have trouble stopping him.

Daniels has looked calm, cool, and collected all season long and that shouldn’t be different Sunday. Even if they don’t manage to win, expect Daniels’ to perform well and record at least two touchdown passes in a win-or-go-home game.
