Washington Commanders NFL Week 6 Betting Lines
The Washington Commanders held onto the catbird seat atop the NFC East standings after taking the Cleveland Browns out behind the woodshed and serving up a good ‘ol fashioned 34-13 beat down as field goal favorites per the closing NFL odds. The match was competitive for the first 20 or so minutes, but it was all Commies from that point forward with Dan Quinn’s troops flexing their way to another dominant performance a week removed from taking the wood to the Arizona Cardinals in the desert. It proved to be another complete effort on both sides of the ball with the offense racking up 434 combined yards with the running game and Jayden Daniels’ arm showcased, while the defense came up with seven sacks and held the Browns to a horrific 1 of 13 showing on third down. But before NFL bettors get all bent out of shape about how improved the team looks to be, let’s keep in mind that Washington’s four-game win streak has come against teams that’ve gone a collective 6-14 straight up to this point. Arguably its stiffest challenge arrives in Week 6 betting in the form of Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. That however hasn’t halted the support the team has received in the betting markets per early action reports from the online sportsbook.
Winners of four straight, the Commanders odds of winning Super Bowl LIX continued its southbound trajectory resurfacing 30-1 after initially hitting the board 150-1. The team’s chances of representing the NFC in the big game also took another value hit falling to 15-1 from 20-1, while its odds of securing NFC East bragging rights have shortened up from as high as +1400 to +190. Washington’s readjusted season win total odds remained 9.5 with heavy juice on the over—up 3 full games from the 6.5 opener! If you can believe it, the Commanders are now -150 favorites to punch a ticket to the playoffs with the “No” now offering up a $125 return on investment off a $100 wager. Insane considering they opened +275/-350 respectively!

Washington Commanders Week 5 Recap
The Washington Commanders secured their fourth straight win in a dominant 34-13 victory over the Cleveland Browns, with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels showcasing resilience to increase his grasp of taking home the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award (-230). Despite an early interception at the goal line, Daniels maintained composure, finishing with 328 yards passing, 82 yards rushing, and the longest touchdown pass of his career. Though not his most accurate showing, Daniels made key plays, including a 66-yard throw to Terry McLaurin and a 41-yard touchdown pass to Dyami Brown. Washington’s offense also flourished on the ground, with Brian Robinson Jr., Austin Ekeler, and Jeremy McNichols combining for 211 rushing yards at 6.3 yards per carry. Washington’s defense played a pivotal role, sacking Deshaun Watson seven times and forcing a fumble. After struggling on third downs earlier in the season, the Commanders’ defense held Cleveland to a dismal 1 of 13 third-down conversion rate, smothering their offense. Linebacker Frankie Luvu led the defensive charge with 2.5 sacks, as the unit delivered its best performance yet. The Commanders now sit at 4-1 for the first time since 2008, with their rookie quarterback already looking like a future star.
2024 Washington Commanders Schedule, Results & Record
Founded in 1932 as the Boston Redskins, the franchise became the Washington Redskins in 1937. The Washington franchise has had great periods of glory and plenty of years of ineptitude.
Washington was a perennial contender and 2-time NFL champion from 1936 through 1945. Then, from 1946 through 1970, the Redskins never made the playoffs. But then head coach and general manager George Allen changed that with five playoff berths in six years from 1971 to 1976, including a 1972 NFC championship. The late Allen made the Pro Football Hall of Fame based largely on his work in Washington.
The man that made the Redskins into Super Bowl champions was another Hall of Fame coach, Joe Gibbs. From 1982 through 1991, the Redskins won three Super Bowl titles with one other Super Bowl appearance.
Since Danny Boy Snyder took ownership of the franchise in 1999, Washington has posted just six playoff appearances. Their last four postseason bids were wild card losses. Washington hasn’t been close to being a bona fide Super Bowl contender during his reign of error.
In 2020 Snyder dropped the team nickname “Redskins” in a desperate sacrifice on the altar of political correctness after allegations of sexual harassment being a systemic issue in his organization. Only a putrid NFC East Division allowed Washington to slip into the 2020 playoffs. The Redskins changed their name to the Commanders in 2022.
Subsequently, Snyder had been accused of cheating his fellow NFL owners out of their cut of FedEx Field gate receipts. With all of the trouble that Snyder caused the league, it ultimately caught up to him in 2023 when he was forced to sell the franchise to Josh Harris. He and his team made their mark on the franchise by appointing Dan Quinn as the 31st head coach in the team's storied history and selecting Jayden Daniels as their future quarterback with the second pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
