You can classify the 2023 Philadelphia Eagles season as a disappointment. They finished 11-6 in the regular season and were smoked 32-9 as 3-point road favorites at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a Wild Card Game — not what was expected out of the then-defending NFC and NFC East champions.
QB Jalen Hurts finished 2nd in the NFL MVP voting in 2022 behind Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes. But Hurts wasn’t in the discussion last year despite throwing for more yards (3,858) and more touchdowns (23) than the season before (3,701 and 22). It was obvious to most everyone that he was playing through pain last year. Whether it was lingering shoulder pain or an MCL issue, he did not seem himself. Hurts was hesitant to run and finished 2023 rushing for 155 less yards than 2022 … and he played 2 more games last season. The Eagles can only hope that rest and rehab this offseason will have Hurts back to 100% before the start of the new campaign.
The Eagles made significant moves in the offseason in hopes of returning to Super Bowl for the 2nd time in the last 3 seasons. The big splash was signing All-Pro RB Saquon Barkley away from the division rival New York Giants. They also bolstered their pass rush by adding DE Bryce Huff (formerly with the New York Jets) and brought back CB C.J. Gardner-Johnson, adding much needed depth to the secondary. Gardner-Johnson returns after an injury-plagued season with the Detroit Lions. He played for the Eagles during the recent NFC Championship season in 2022.
The Eagles did take a major hit to their offensive line with the retirement of C Jason Kelce. The impact he had on and off the field cannot be measured. GM Howie Roseman made sure to lock up stud OL Landon Dickerson to a long-term deal. WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith also received extensions, keep the dynamic duo together in Philadelphia for at least the next 3 seasons.
The addition of Barkley to an already loaded offense should put the Eagles in contention to win the NFC once again. It will all come down to the health and play of Hurts — team will go as far as he can take them.

Eagles over/under win total
Odds provided by FanDuel Sportsbook – last updated May 24 at 5:35 p.m. ET; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list.
- 10.5 wins: (Over: -104 | Under: -118)
According to the Sharp Football Analysis, which based its calculations off the “Vegas forecasted win totals,” the Eagles have the 9th-easiest schedule in the NFL. Their implied line of 10.35 wins is exactly the same as projections by most Sportsbooks.
After perusing the schedule for Philadelphia, this line is set pretty perfectly. I see the Eagles finishing with 10 or 11 wins, dancing right around this total. The Eagles start their season in Brazil to face the Green Bay Packers, which will be no easy task. Then they get a 10 day break before their home opener against the Atlanta Falcons. Here is where things get tough, they hit the road for 7 of their next 10 games, 8 of which are against teams that finished with winning records in 2023. Philadelphia can close out the season strong with 4 of their last 5 played at Lincoln Financial Field. Three of those games are against teams that combined for 12 victories a season ago.
The Eagles have 5 prime-time games, including their season opener in Brazil with the Packers (Friday, Sept. 6). They also have the daunting task of facing the AFC North this season.
It will be a photo finish for Philadelphia getting to the 11-win mark. The suggestion is to PASS on this wager as it’s too close to call.
Eagles Super Bowl odds
- +1400 (bet $100 to win $1,400)
The Eagles have the 7th-best odds to win the Super Bowl, behind the San Francisco 49ers (+550), Chiefs (+600), Baltimore Ravens (+950), Cincinnati Bengals (+1300), Lions (+1300) and Buffalo Bills (+1300).
There seems to be slight disrespect from the books toward the Eagles, especially putting them behind the Bengals and Bills. But the Eagles do have a huge mountain to climb if they want to get back to the Super Bowl, let alone win it. They’ve got a rough regular-season schedule and will have to likely get through one or possibility both the 49ers and Lions just to get to the big game.
They certainly have the talent and the coaching to make this happen, but again, Hurts’ Health is an issue. There are going to be times when he’ll have to put this team on his back and carry it to a victory. That will take its toll on a QB who is injury prone and often banged up. We also cannot write off the significance of not having a leader like Kelce in the locker room anymore.
I have the Eagles making the playoffs but falling short of getting to the Super Bowl, so betting them to win the Super Bowl is a PASS as well.
Will Eagles make the playoffs?
- Yes -210 | No +168
The only scenario I see where the Eagles don’t make the playoffs is if Hurts suffers a major injury. That would derail their entire season and open things up in the NFC for a lot of teams. There is just too much talent on this Philadelphia squad not to at least make the postseason.
Despite my confidence in the Eagles here, risking 2.1 times the potential return and tying that money up for several months doesn’t seem reasonable. There are better values and futures bets elsewhere … for the Eagles or other teams, too.
PASS.
Odds to win NFC East Division
- Eagles +115 (bet $100 to win $115)
- Cowboys +130 (bet $100 to win $130)
- Commanders +1000 (bet $100 to win $1,000)
- Giants +1000 (bet $100 to win $1,000)
The NFC East is a 2-horse race between Philly and Dallas. The Cowboys always seem to impress during the regular season but flame out in the playoffs. They claimed the East crown a year ago, but after losing basically their entire defensive coaching staff and making no moves in the offseason, it’ll be tough for them to repeat.
The Commanders should make some noise in the division after completely overhauling their front office, coaching staff and roster. They’ve also got the excitement of bringing in No. 2 overall pick QB Jayden Daniels (LSU) to lead this franchise into the future. While they should be improved, they are a year or two away from really competing.
The odd team out in this division is New York. QB Daniel Jones is still presumably the guy, but he doesn’t seem to have the full confidence of the coaching staff. The Giants let their best offensive weapon — Barkley — walk down I-95 to the City of Brotherly Love. The only highlights of their offseason was drafting a legit No. 1 WR in Malik Nabers (LSU) and trading for pass rushing specialist DE Brian Burns from the Carolina Panthers.
I give the Eagles the edge to win the division over the Cowboys because of strength of schedule. BET EAGLES TO WIN NFC EAST (+115).

Eagles odds to win NFC
- +700 (bet $100 to win $700)
Philadelphia has the 4th-shortest odds to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl — behind the 49ers (+250), Lions (+600) and Cowboys (+650).
There is no question that the Eagles can match talent with any of the 3 bigger favorites. From top to bottom, the Eagles have one of the best rosters in the NFL, which only got stronger with the addition of Barkley.
Philadelphia also has the advantage (experience) of getting to the Super Bowl just 2 years ago, coming within a field goal of winning it all. The Eagles know what it takes to get there. This team will go as far as Hurts can take it, and if he’s healthy, I believe they can get to New Orleans in February.
I’ll definitely put some money down on EAGLES TO WIN THE NFC (+700).
