Highlights

  • Looking at the Eagles' most interesting betting odds and lines available at PA gambling sites going into the 2023-2024 NFL season.
  • Analyzing the Eagles 2022-2023 results, looking at their ATS record and other betting trends.
  • Taking a look at the team overall as a whole and their strength and weaknesses going into the season.

The Philadelphia Eagles were one win away from being crowned the best team in the NFL. In fact, some Eagles fans might say they were one bad defensive hold call away from being the Super Bowl Champions. The Eagles had the NFC's best record at 14-3 but were not quite as good on the season against the spread at 8-9.

The Eagles are primed to repeat their overall record this season, and being that often the Eagles will be heavy favorites in games, betting on things like futures may be the way to go. The Eagles should have another great year, but betting on them ATS week in and week out may not always be a winning venture, considering last year, when they made it to the Super Bowl but were still under .500 ATS in the regular season.

Reviewing the Eagles 22-23 ATS Record & Betting Trends

The Eagles started the year off on a tear, winning eight games in a row before their first loss in 2022. The Eagles were 5-3 against the spread in those eight wins. Following their first loss, though, which was the middle point of their schedule PA online sportsbooks made the adjustment, and the Eagles were a tough spread bet the rest of the season as they were favored in all but one game, one in which Jalen Hurts was injured throughout, the rest of the season.

A huge part of the Eagles amazing season was due to the growth of Jalen Hurts. It was a make-or-break season for Hurts, and he answered the questions surrounding his ability to be an elite NFL quarterback emphatically. He played at an MVP level all season and was a nightmare for opposing defenses with his combination of running and throwing prowess.

Notable Eagles 22-23 Betting Trends 

  • The Eagles were 8-9 against the spread last regular season.
  • Philadelphia was excellent against the spread at home, going 8-3, including the playoffs. 
  • In contrast, the Eagles were a bad 2-5 ATS in road games last season.
  • The Eagles compounded success against the spread as they were 10-6 ATS following wins.
  • The flip side was the Eagles compounded ATS losses as they were 0-3 ATS after a loss the previous week.

Eagles Team Depth Chart Projection

Offensive Depth Chart

QB: Jalen Hurts, Marcus Mariota, Ian Book

A unit that is unchanged at the top, with Hurts looking to build on last year and potentially win an MVP, potentially got better, actually. Adding a mobile quarterback that has had good runs as a starter in the league, like Marcus Mariota, gives the Eagles one of the best quarterback rooms top to bottom in the NFL.

RB: D'Andre Swift, Rashad Penny, Kenneth Gainwell, Boston Scott

Some were worried about the loss of Miles Sanders, but the entire running back room costs less than Sanders's new contract in Carolina. Adding guys like D'Andre Swift and Rashad Penny at bargain prices could end up being brilliant as long as they stay healthy.

WR: A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Quez Watkins, Olamide Zaccheaus, Tyrie Cleveland, Gred Ward

No news is good news, as Philadelphia brings back an incredible unit with elite pass catchers that will only continue to get better.

TE: Dallas Goedert, Jack Stoll, Grant Calcaterra

While the backups leave a little to be desired, Goedert, at his best, is a pro bowl tight end.

LT: Jordan Mailata, Brett Toth

LG: Landon Dickerson, Sue Opeta

C: Jason Kelce, Cam Jurgens

RG: Tyler Steen, Tyrese Robinson

RT: Lane Johnson, Jack Driscoll

A unit that stayed together from last season should only help things; the only concern has to be that some of the mainstays, like Jason Kelce, are getting up their age, and a dropoff is possible.

Defensive Depth Chart

DT: Fletcher Cox, Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter, Milton Williams

EDGE: Brandon Graham, Josh Sweat, Derek Barnett, Janirius Robinson

The Duo of Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter won a national championship together in college and will now look to anchor a unit where they will look to win a Super Bowl.

MLB: Nakobe Dean, Christian Elliss

OLB: Haason Reddick, Nicholas Morrow, Nolan Smith, Shaun Bradley

A solid unit, especially if Nakobe Dean can grow going into his second year calling the shots from the lead spot and Nolan Smith can provide an edge rush as a rookie of the year candidate.

CB: Darius Slay, James Bradberry, Avonte Maddox, Zech, McPhearson, Kelee Ringo, Greedy Williams, Josh Jobe

S: Terrell Edmonds, Reed Blankenship, K'Von Wallace, Sydney Brown 

One of the few units where the Eagles could see a few holes in the ship. Losing C.J. Garner Johnson at the safety spot hurts as the replacements are not at his caliber, and he played big during the playoffs for the Eagles last year.

Special Teams Depth Chart

K: Jake Elliot

P: Arryn Siposs

A solid unit that does its job and is most unnoticeable in exactly what you want from a special teams unit.
