Philadelphia Eagles Odds

The Philadelphia Eagles origins date back to 1933. According to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Bert Bell and Lud Wray spent $2,500 to purchase the former Frankford Yellowjackets.

Some Eagles fans may recall the 1943 squad that was temporarily called the Steagles. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh fielded a combined team due to player shortages as a result of World War II.

Unfortunately, there are not too many league championships to highlight over these past 87 years. But there is a passionate nationwide fanbase, and a good bunch of them reside in New Jersey. Many of them are likely talking about how Philly will defend its NFC East title in 2020 or make a run at the NFC championship.

Whether or not they are good bets in the NJ online sports betting world will be determined over the next several months. This Philadelphia Eagles betting page provides a rundown of what to expect in the 2020 NFL season, including:

• How to bet on the Eagles via NJ sportsbook apps
• Futures and player props
• Eagles starters and schedule

So let this be your guide to everything Philadelphia Eagles (minus the YouTube videos of “E-A-G-L-E-S!” chants).

What are the odds on the next Eagles Game?

Fans seeking odds for the next Eagles’ game can look right here. These are the latest betting lines, thanks to our NFL odds feed of NJ online sportsbooks. The lines are comparable to what bettors will find at Las Vegas sportsbooks, and they can be viewed without leaving the comfort of home.

How to bet on player props and futures odds

NFL betting is about much more than whether or not the Philadelphia Eagles come out on the winning side of the moneyline or covering the over. These are the basics.

Props and futures add an extra layer of excitement to the NJ sports betting experience.

Futures betting

Sure, Eagles’ bettors will likely immediately jump to the Super Bowl market (or futures). The odds will shift throughout the season, so finding the best value is key. For example, the Birds +2000 will result in a bigger payout than say +800.

And the options expand far beyond which team will win the Big Game. Wagers linked to the outcome of a future sporting event fall under the futures category. Here are some of the NFL futures available at NJ sportsbooks:

• Eagles’ total wins 
• Will Philadelphia make the playoffs?
• NFC champion  

Focusing on total wins, DraftKings Sportsbook has set the Eagles line at 9. The bettor decides whether to take the over (-134) or under (+110). The negative number indicates that the over is favored.

Props betting

Another option is putting some cash down on what a particular player will do in a specific game or season. These are known as player props, and sportsbooks roll out extensive offerings.

For instance, let’s say you sign into your DraftKings Sportsbook account. As the season gets closer, the NFL menu will include a page of options, from team futures to player futures and props and beyond.

Here are a few examples of player props:

• Carson Wentz passing yards for 2020 season 
• Zach Ertz receiving yards for 2020 season 
• Regular season MVP

A closer look at the Eagles 2020-2021 season  

It starts with a healthy Wentz. The starting QB has all the makings of a star, but his durability continues to be questioned.

In 56 career games, he has 97 touchdowns versus 35 interceptions. The 2017-18 Super Bowl year (that got cut short due to a torn ACL) remains his best to date (33 TDs versus seven interceptions).

Expect another big year from second-year running back Miles Sanders. He wasted little time displaying his star power in 2019. He rushed for 818 yards and averaged 4.6 yards per carry.

Jalen Reagor, the rookie wide receiver out of TCU, is one to watch. He’s the Birds’ first-round pick, and that comes with high expectations. Is he capable of putting together a 1,000-yard season?

Now here’s the interesting part: Returning starter DeSean Jackson holds the franchise record for receiving yards by a rookie with 912 (set in 2008). Both are penciled in as starters.

Zach Ertz, the reliable tight end, has 525 career receptions, 35 of which are touchdowns.

On the defensive side, Darius Slay is a significant upgrade at cornerback. He is a three-time Pro Bowl selection and has recorded 19 interceptions since the 2014 season. Meanwhile, Fletcher Cox is the anchor on the defensive line. Besides being a five-time Pro Bowl honoree, he has recorded 48 career sacks.

Brandon Graham is the other key cog on the D-line and is now in his 11th year. He currently ranks fifth on the Birds all-time sacks list with 51. This includes 8.5 sacks from last season to go along with 49 tackles.

Five key games in 2020

But of course, it all comes down to winning the big games. And the Eagles have a few on tap this year against their division rivals and NFC foes:

• Sept. 13 and Jan. 3 vs. Washington Football Team
• Oct. 22 and Nov. 15 vs. New York Giants
• Nov. 1 and Dec. 27 vs. Dallas Cowboys
• Oct. 4 vs. San Francisco 49ers (the defending NFC champs)
• Nov. 30 vs. Seattle Seahawks (a playoff rematch)

How did the Eagles do last year?

The answer depends on your definition of good and bad.

Philadelphia did win the NFC East title with a 9-7 record and made the playoffs. However, the road to the postseason included way too many injuries to count and several must-win situations. The Birds actually went into Week 14 with a 5-7 record but reeled off four-straight wins over the Giants (twice), Cowboys, and Redskins.

The Wild Card Game took place at Lincoln Financial Field, but like the regular season, it wasn’t pretty. The Seattle Seahawks won 17-9.

Philadelphia Eagles starters 2020

The starting lineup for both the offense and defense of the Philadelphia Eagles includes 22 total, 11 on each side of the ball. Below are the predicted starters for the Eagles 2020 season and their positions.

Eagles vs. Cowboys rivalry

The Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys is one of the greatest rivalries in all of pro sports. It’s such a big deal whenever these two teams meet that South Jersey and the Philadelphia area refer to it as Dallas Week.

And for good reason. Check out this list of top 10 memorable moments in the Eagles-Cowboys rivalry.

The two franchises are constantly battling it out for NFC East bragging rights. Over the last four seasons alone, the two teams have alternated as division champs, with the Eagles claiming the most recent crown.

The teams split the two meetings in 2019. Based on the odds available at NJ sportsbooks, it’s looking like they will be battling it out for NFC East supremacy once again.

Overall, this is a rivalry that dates back to the 1960 season. For the trivia buffs out there, the Birds won that meeting 27-25. Philly went on to win the NFL championship that season (before the Super Bowl was a thing).

In total, the Eagles and Cowboys have played each other 122 times, with Dallas holding a 69-53 advantage.

The television networks are well aware of the nationwide following these two storied franchises have, as at least one meeting every season makes the Sunday Night Football schedule. This year it’s Nov. 1.
