NFL odds, picks and predictions for Philadelphia Eagles vs New England Patriots. NFL Week 1 betting best bet and game analysis.

My ratings are very bullish on Philly this season and I do have a spread bet on the Eagles -3.5. But with a lot of places ticking up to Philadelphia -4, I often opt for the outright odds when spreads reach this undervalued key number. FYI: 4-point faves are 35-35 SU and just 23-46-1 ATS since 2018 .
According to BetMGM operations, 78% of ticket count and 93% of the handle is riding on Philadelphia. Our Covers Consensus percentages are just as bullish on the visitor with 71% of picks laying the points with the Eagles. Given there is about a five-point discrepancy between the actual spread and my projected handicap, we have to dig into why the Patriots wouldn’t be bigger underdogs – or why this line would slim from heights of Philadelphia -5?
