Betting Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles won their first game season, with their opening victory coming against Green Bay 34-29. After trailing 6-0 at the end of the first quarter and 19-17 at the half, Philadelphia overcame their deficit with 17 points in the second half to win.

The Eagles went 4-14 on third down, turned the ball over thrice, and outgained 414-410 overall. Saquon Barkley ran for 109 yards and two touchdowns on 24 rushes, while Jalen Hurts completed 278 yards of passing for two touchdowns and two interceptions.

Despite having three turnovers, seven penalties, and a dismal 4-14 third-down performance, Philadelphia managed to secure the victory despite their rather careless play. The latter three-quarters of the game saw the Eagles score 34 points, but it appears that the defense still needs to work out some kinks.

In the last five Monday regular season games in which the Eagles are favorites at the BetOnline Sportsbook, Jalen Hurts has scored the first touchdown in four of them. Against NFC South opponents, Jalen Hurts has scored two touchdowns or more in three of his last four regular-season games.

In four of his five prior games as a favorite after a victory, Saquon Barkley has tallied more than 81 rushing yards. Against NFC South opponents, Saquon Barkley has amassed over 88 yards in receiving and rushing in each of his previous four home games.

In six of the Eagles’ previous seven games in September against NFC opponents, Jalen Hurts has accumulated 243 yards or more of passing. Also in their last six Monday regular season games for the Eagles, Jalen Hurts has scored a touchdown or more. In his last six games as a favorite, Parris Campbell has averaged over 14 receiving yards per game. After a victory, Jalen Hurts has thrown three touchdowns or more in three of the Eagles’ previous four games as the underdog.

Over his past three games versus NFC South opponents, Jalen Hurts has produced 23+ completions. In terms of interceptions (1) this season, Reed Blankenship is ranked T1st in the NFL. The reasons the Eagles will cover: The Falcons’ last seven Week 2 games have all been won by the home team. The last six road openers for the Falcons have ended in losses.

In their last four games against NFC East opponents, the Falcons have failed to cover the spread. With a rest advantage, the Eagles have covered the spread in their last four games. In their last four games at Lincoln Financial Field, the Eagles have won the first quarter in each of those contests. Nine out of the Falcons’ ten previous road games against NFC opponents in Week 2 have ended in losses in the first half. In the last six games played at Lincoln Financial Field, the Eagles have opened the scoring in five of them.

Betting Atlanta Falcons

After losing their opening game of the season to Pittsburgh 18-10, the Atlanta Falcons are now 0-1 this year. Atlanta had a 10-6 lead late in the first half, but the loss came from being outscored 12-0 the remainder of the game.

In the defeat, the Falcons were outgained 270–226; they also turned the ball over three times and performed just 2–9 on third down. Bijan Robinson gained 68 yards on 18 carries while Kirk Cousins passed for 155 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions.

Atlanta played a competitive first half in this game, but their second half was lackluster. Cousins looked mediocre at best, as the Falcons managed just 226 total yards during the contest. Because of his injuries, Cousins did miss a lot of time, so we anticipate that he will get better every week.

Against NFC opponents, Kirk Cousins has had, in seven of his last eight games in September, 244 yards or more in throwing. In the Falcons’ last two games as underdogs after a defeat, Bijan Robinson has scored at least one touchdown. In every one of the Falcons’ last four September games, Bijan Robinson has tallied more than 27 receiving yards. After a home loss, Tyler Allgeier has rushed for at least 31 yards in each of the Falcons’ last four games.
After a loss, Bijan Robinson has scored more than 106 yards in both receiving and rushing attempts in five of the Falcons’ last six games. In each of his last six games as an underdog after a loss, Kirk Cousins has thrown two or more touchdowns.

Against NFC opponents, Kirk Cousins has completed at least 22 passes in each of his last seven September games. With four broken tackles this season, Bijan Robinson is tied for first place in the NFL.

The reasons the Falcons will cover: In the last eight meetings between the Falcons and Eagles, the underdog has prevailed seven times. The Eagles, who were favored against teams that were on a losing streak, have dropped their last three games. In their last nine games against teams with a losing record, the Eagles have failed to cover the spread.

After losing at home, the Falcons have covered the spread in their last six games as the underdog. Four of the last five times the Falcons have faced the Eagles as underdogs, they have won the first quarter. After a loss, the Falcons have won their last six games five times when they have scored the first touchdown.

Atlanta Falcons vs. Philadelphia Eagles NFL Pick

In their first game, Philadelphia played a very careless game, but they managed to win thanks to a strong offensive performance in the last three quarters. Conversely, the Atlanta offense vanished in the second half, but they will be up against a Philly defense that allowed a lot of yards and touchdowns to be scored against them last week.

Although Cousins struggled in Sunday’s loss to Pittsburgh, we believe he will do far better in this game. We prefer the over in this game because the Falcons offense should be good this year and we know Philadelphia will score a lot of points.
