First off, full disclosure – I have a man crush on the Philadelphia Eagles. Second off, my unbiased handicapping leads me to three conclusions on the Eagles preseason props list, including an OVER pick on their season win total and a wager on whether they make the NFC playoffs.
(All odds according to SugarHouse NJ):
OVER-UNDER season win totals (regular season)
Over 9: -134
Under 9: +110
Over 10.5: +220
Under 10.5: -278
I think over 10.5 at +220 is your best bang for your buck here, as we have identified 11 wins for the Eagles. If they can stay healthy, those 11 wins are possible. Last season, Carson Wentz had to carry this team to the playoffs after his entire receiver core ended up on IR. I don’t expect that to happen again. If DeSean Jackson can stay healthy and Jalen Reagor is the prospect the Eagles think he is, this offense could pop.
SugarHouse is rewarding us with a tasty +220 payout on the Over 10.5. We are taking the bait. You can also check out our betting analysis on odds to win the NFC East here.
