Eagles Weekly Odds: Sportsbooks think Philly is a lock at home

We must be moving closer to the beginning of the NFL season. DraftKings recently published game-by-game odds on the Eagles season.

The Eagles are favorites in 11 of 17 games.

In the NFL, odds on any game beyond the next one are tenuous at best. One important injury in Week 3 completely skews the odds for Week 4 … and so on.

The Eagles’ implied record is 11-3-3. They are favorites in seven home games with two pick ’ems. On the road, they are favorites in four games, underdogs in three, and one pick ’em game.

If they win eight of the 11 games in which they’re favorites, pull off one upset in the three underdog games and win two of the pick ’em games, they wind up 11-6. That’s a playoff spot and maybe the NFC East title.
