NFL Week 8 Trends - Atlanta Falcons vs Philadelphia Eagles

P. Eagles

I’m sure that some NFL betting fans had circled this game on the NFL calendar as one to take a big swing on. I mean, the Falcons were just horrible last year. Any team that goes through that many changes during the off season – - new quarterback, new coach, different offensive philosophy, etc. – - couldn’t possibly challenge some of the better teams in the NFC for a playoff berth, could it?

Well, that’s exactly what the Falcons are doing. For football betting fans, the Falcons have been a pleasant surprise this season. They are 4 and 2 against the spread. It’s a record that mirrors their straight-up record. The Atlanta Falcons have all the makings of a serious contender in the NFC South. Who would have thought that when this season started?

The Philadelphia Eagles looked to be in hot water after losing to the Chicago Bears on Sunday night a few weeks ago. The Eagles have also been very good against the BetUS Sportsbook wagering spread this season going 4 and 2. At home they have played 3 under games. On the road they have played 3 over games.

They are at home for this one so I expect their defense to be a bit more aggressive since they are playing against a rookie quarterback in Matt Ryan and they had a bye week to get ready for this game.
