Washington Commanders Odds

Washington Commanders Odds, Bet Types, and Team History

This season marks the beginning of the Jayden Daniels era in Washington.

Last season, the Commanders went with second-year quarterback Sam Howell, but an offseason trade opened the door for a rookie QB. That's when the Commanders selected Daniels with the No. 2 pick. Daniels is coming off a fantastic season at LSU, winning the Heisman after recording nearly 4,000 passing yards and 40 touchdowns.

Daniels may have a tough time behind a Washington offensive line that ranks near the bottom of the league. He does have a pair of explosive talents in Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson at wide receiver. Washington brought in veteran Austin Ekeler to form a running back duo with Brian Robinson Jr.

The defense remains a work in progress but the Commanders added Bobby Wagner, Frankie Luvu, Dante Fowler Jr., and Jeremy Chinn.

Following a 4-13 season, the Commanders will try to take the next step beginning Sept. 8, when they open the season on the road against the Buccaneers.

Betting on the Washington Commanders

Commanders Moneyline

The moneyline is as straightforward as it gets when it comes to betting. The only thing to do here is pick the winner. Check out this example:

• Commanders -155
• Panthers +130

The minus (-) and plus (+) signs distinguish the favorite from the underdog, making Washington the favorite in this scenario. Odds can be understood more clearly if you think in terms of $10 or $100 increments. A wager on the Commanders' odds would mean every $20 bet nets $10. And it's the opposite for underdogs: Here, the Panthers moneyline was set at +130, meaning a $10 wager would profit $13.00.

Moneylines are also commonly used when making parlays, which are multiple bets tied into one. Let’s say you bet the Commanders moneyline and a -3.0 point spread, Washington would need to win by three points or more for that bet to be successful. The risk is greater, but so is the reward with increased odds. Use our Odds Calculator to calculate any bet amount or conversion.

Commanders Point Spread

Betting point spreads are wagers based on the expectation that a team will win or lose by a certain number of points. Here’s an example:

• Titans +1.5 (+110)
• Commanders -1.5 (-110)

In this situation, the Titans are 1.5-point underdogs against the Commanders. If Washington wins the game by two or more points, a $100 wager on the Commanders would come with a payout of $90.91. If Detroit won the game outright or lost by one point, the same $100 wager would net $110 plus the original $100 for a total of $210.

Commanders Over/Under

Over/under, also called point total, is a wager placed on the combined scoring of a single game. Bookmakers come up with a number, and you can bet on the over or — you guessed it — the under. Here’s how it works:

The Commanders will play the Bengals, and the over/under is set at 48 points. A wager on the over would require Washington and Cincinnati to score 49 points or more to win. Betting the under is an expectation that the two teams would score 47 or fewer points. It's also possible for the bet to push, which would happen if the game finished with exactly 48 points scored.

Commanders Player Prop Betting

Player props are wagers on a single player, and they're tied to a single stat found in the box score for a game or even the whole season. These are among the most fun to bet on, especially if you're already playing fantasy football and like the player-specific focus it offers. Check out a hypothetical example below:

• Terry McLaurin receiving yards: O/U 67.5 yards

In this example, a bettor will wager on whether McLaurin goes over or under 67.5 receiving yards in a specific game.
