Washington Commanders Odds

Washington Commanders Odds, Bet Types, and Team History

The Washington Commanders enter Year 2 of the Jayden Daniels era.

The 2024 season was a dream year for the Commanders, as they won 12 games and qualified for the NFC Championship Game for the first time in 33 years. They fell short of a Super Bowl appearance, but the team made significant upgrades in the offseason and has an excellent chance to make another run.

The big question mark is the status of WR Terry McLaurin. McLaurin hasn't participated in training camp and recently requested a trade as he seeks a new contract. The Commanders acquired former All-Pro WR Deebo Samuel in the offseason, but McLaurin remains an integral part of this offense as one of the best wide receivers in the NFL.

Washington did a good job retaining most of its roster during the offseason, while adding key players like Laremy Tunsil, Deebo Samuel, and Javon Kinlaw. They also used the NFL Draft to upgrade both their offensive line and defense.

The Commanders open the season with an NFC East clash against the New York Giants. Washington is a 7.5-point home favorite and will look to start the season with a convincing win.

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.
