Philadelphia Eagles (+2500 to win the Super Bowl, BetMGM)
2021 Record: 9-8 (2nd in NFC East)
The Eagles are at home in the NFC East, which is a wide open race every year. After an offseason of surrounding Jalen Hurts with talent, the Eagles are poised to make a run at the division, and could be a dark horse to make it deep into the playoffs.

The big addition that the Eagles made was a draft-day trade with the Tennessee Titans, sending the 18th overall pick (who turned into wide receiver Treylon Burks) and a 3rd-round pick for A.J. Brown.
Immediately following the trade, the Eagles gave Brown a massive contract in the amount of $100 million over four years.
Now with a true top receiver, something that Philadelphia has been desperately searching for for years, the offense is expected to make a leap forward.

NFL Betting Lines: Eagles Win Total O/U
9.5 Wins (FanDuel)
The Eagles are an intriguing team playing in what’s expected to be one of the easier divisions in football. Matchups against the New York Giants and Washington Commanders should provide winnable games, and they’re a good enough team to bring the fight to the Dallas Cowboys as well.

Other non-division games against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Pittsburgh Steelers, Houston Texans, New Orleans Saints, Chicago Bears, and Brown’s former team the Tennessee Titans will also give them plenty of options to rack up the wins. With Hurts under center capable of being a threat on the ground and through the air, with a strong run game, and with a receiver duo of Brown and second-year Devonta Smith, the offense will compete.
This team is capable of winning four out of six games in the division, and has plenty of other winnable matchups. The Eagles ranked 12th in points per game last year and are primed to take a leap into the realms of the more explosive offenses in the league.

Eagles exact division finish – 1st (+185, FanDuel Sportsbook)
I’m not stopping the Eagles hype train yet. All aboard.
I believe that the Eagles are one team poised for the biggest jump this year. Yeah, I think they’re even worth a sprinkle at their long odds to win the Super Bowl.
I don’t think there’s any way that they aren’t one of the two best teams in their division, along with the Dallas Cowboys. While I believe that the Eagles are full of talent on both sides of the ball, and that Brown is going to give Hurts what he needs to take a leap as a quarterback, and that rookie linebacker Nakobe Dean was the biggest steal of the NFL Draft, I believe the Cowboys could be poised to take a step backwards.
Let’s look at Dallas. Gone are the days of the Cowboys having the best offensive line in the NFL. La’el Collins is gone, and they’ll likely be relying on first-round lineman Tyler Smith to contribute right away. A changing line could be a problem.
More so, RB Ezekiel Elliott now looks to have lost a step, WR Amari Cooper was traded to the Cleveland Browns, and WR Michael Gallup isn’t going to be ready to start the season coming off a torn ACL. They have an unproven receiving core behind Ceedee Lamb, who will now operate as the No. 1 option.
Dallas is still a solid team, but they open their season with three of their first five games against the Buccaneers, Bengals, and Rams. Philadelphia could get out to an early lead in the division, and if panic sets in Dallas, the race will be on for the division crown.
Thepick: Eagles to win division: +185 (FanDuel).
