Washington Commanders NFL Week 15 Betting Lines

The Washington Commanders return from their Week 14 bye as one of the NFL’s best turnaround stories, rivaled only by the Denver Broncos. Once the league’s laughingstock under previous ownership and directionless coaching, the Commanders now boast an 8-5 record both straight up and against the NFL spread. Under Dan Quinn’s leadership, the team is firmly in the NFC playoff hunt as the No. 7 seed. A key factor in Washington’s resurgence has been rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. While Daniels now faces stiff competition from Bo Nix in the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award race, the former Heisman Trophy winner has been instrumental in lifting the team out of the NFC East basement, where it had languished for the past two seasons. Backed by a potent rushing attack and an improved defense, the Commanders have positioned themselves as a potential dark horse capable of making noise in the postseason. Now with an 81 percent chance to secure a playoff spot, the Commanders must remain focused down the stretch. That effort begins in Week 15 betting when they travel to New Orleans to oppose a scrappy Saints team under interim head coaching leadership that’s resulted in a trio of wins over the last month—a pivotal test in their quest to attain postseason success.

Though in the midst of an off-week, Washington saw its futures offerings shorten up across the board. Its odds of winning Super Bowl LIX fell back down to 55-1 from 65-1, while its chances of winning the NFC also shortened to 25-1 from 28-1. The Commies odds of winning the NFC East shortened from a season-high 30-1 to 25-1, while Their adjusted season win total odds again held steady at 10.5 with even vig affixed to both sides of the impost. The Commanders are back up to -500, up from -350 the week prior, to punch a ticket to the playoffs with the “No” now offering up a $350 return off a $100 wager after serving up $270 just last week. Not bad for a team that entered the year -350 chalk to miss out on the postseason a fourth straight time and finish third in the division standings.

Washington Commanders Week 14 Recap

The Washington Commanders snapped a three-game skid in dominant fashion with a 42-19 rout of the Tennessee Titans, bolstering their playoff hopes. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels starred, completing 25 of 30 passes for 206 yards and three touchdowns, while adding a rushing score—his sixth of the season. Daniels’ performance further solidified his case for AP Offensive Rookie of the Year. Terry McLaurin led the receiving corps with eight catches for 73 yards and two touchdowns, thrilling fans with “Terry! Terry!” chants. Zach Ertz added a touchdown reception, while Brian Robinson Jr., returning from injury, ran for 103 yards and a score. The Commanders converted 9 of 14 third downs and built a commanding 28-0 lead just 19 minutes into the game, marking their first 21-point first quarter since 2015. The defense, led by Frankie Luvu, stifled Tennessee, forcing two fumbles and keeping pressure on quarterback Will Levis. Luvu’s sack raised his season total to eight, a career high. Special teams also contributed to the turnover tally, showcasing Washington’s ability to play complementary football. With their first win in nearly a month, the Commanders head into the bye week solidly in playoff contention, rejuvenated by their return to early-season form.

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.
