The Washington Commanders enter the 2024 season much the same way they were last season: underdogs. The NFL revealed the entire 2024 schedule on Wednesday, and the Commanders open the season on the road against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
DraftKings Sportsbook has already released Week 1 odds and has the Bucs as a 3.5-point favorite over the Commanders.
Moneyline (ML)
- Commanders +154
- Buccaneers -185
Against the spread (ATS)
- Commanders +3.5 (-110)
- Cowboys -3.5 (-110)
Over/Under (O/U)
- 41.5 (O: -110 U: -110)
This seems fair. The Bucs won the NFC South last season and won an NFC wild-card game against the Eagles. Tampa Bay brought back several key stars, such as quarterback Baker Mayfield, wide receiver Mike Evans and safety Antoine Winfield Jr.
Meanwhile, the Commanders are a completely different team — and should be better. New general manager Adam Peters turned over half of Washington’s roster, and rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels gives fans hope of a quick turnaround in 2024.
