The Eagles and Patriots will meet on Sunday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field for the first time in the regular season since Philadelphia’s upset win over New England in Super Bowl 52. Where should your money go? Let’s get into it with our Eagles vs. Patriots betting predictions and preview.

Eagles vs. Patriots Betting Preview

The stakes may not be quite as high this time around, but it’s an important game for both teams following bye weeks as the Eagles look to keep pace atop the NFC East, while the Patriots try to bounce back after their first loss of the season two weeks ago in Baltimore. Undoubtedly, this is one of the most highly anticipated games of the week, if not season, and with the bet boosts, props, and promo offers flowing, there’s expected to be plenty of action at PA online sportsbooks.

In what is an almost completely unsurprising development, the Eagles not only failed to get healthier during the bye week, but things somehow got worse.

First came word that DeSean Jackson would miss the remainder of the season the day after the Eagles’ Week 9 win over the Bears.

That setback was followed by news earlier this week that wide receiver Alshon Jeffery and running back Jordan Howard are also banged up, and that running back Darren Sproles is out for the season. Jeffery has already been ruled out and word is Howard will be sidelined.

Enter old friends Jordan Matthews and Jay Ajayi. Everybody loves a good reunion, I guess.

These developments present further obstacles for an Eagles offense that has struggled at times to generate points this season. And their opponent today doesn’t figure to be too generous.

The Patriots’ defense has surrendered an NFL-best 10.9 points per game this season and is coming off a rare poor performance in which it surrendered 372 yards (210 rushing) to the Ravens.

Mix in the Patriots’ outrageous record following a loss and the revenge angle from Super Bowl 52, and, well, it’s a less than ideal setup for the Eagles ahead of this one. Still, no team in the NFL works the underdog angle quite like the Eagles do– can they pull off another upset today? Come with me and explore.

On Friday night, the reeling Philadelphia 76ers travel to Oklahoma City, where they will take on Chris Paul and the Thunder. Let’s dig into this one in our Sixers-Thunder betting preview.

At 7-4, the Sixers looked lost throughout a 112-97 loss to the Orlando Magic, one in which they were without the services of franchise center Joel Embiid. The Thunder enter this game 4-7, which puts them in 11th place in a competitive Western Conference. Following a six-point home win over the Steph Curry and Klay Thompson-less Golden State Warriors, Oklahoma City dropped a close game against the Milwaukee Bucks and suffered a 111-85 blowout road loss to the Indiana Pacers.

No Lightning with the Thunder

To say Oklahoma City has been a disappointment would be disingenuous. After all, they’re in the midst of a rebuilding season following the off-season trades of Paul George to the Clippers and face of the franchise Russell Westbrook to the Houston Rockets. Aside from young star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, a shell of Chris Paul, and Steven Adams – who must be wondering what he did to anger the basketball gods – this is a squad of misfit toys and castoffs. Failed Atlanta PG Dennis Schröder provides some bench scoring, but the frontcourt includes former Sixers Nerlens Noel and Mike Muscala, neither of whom inspire confidence.

CP3’s Best Days Are Far Behind Him

Chris Paul is nowhere near the player he was during his Lob City days, averaging a per-game-career-low in points, assists, rebounds, and minutes. The one thing Paul’s excelled at this year is his distance shooting, where his 42.6% 3P% is the highest of his career. Continue Reading
