So yeah, it’s time to start talking Super Bowl.

The Birds are 10-2 and they are one of four front-runners to capture the Lombardi Trophy in February.

The Eagles entered Monday with the second-best odds to win the Super Bowl at DraftKings Sportsbook. They are +475, a slight tick ahead of the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs at +500.

FanDuel Sportsbook has the Eagles listed at +500, the same price as the Bills and slightly ahead of the Chiefs. BetMGM has the Eagles, Bills and Chiefs all listed at +500 behind the Detroit Lions at +275.

Bet365 has the slightest of differences with the Lions at +300, the Eagles at +475 and the Bills and Chiefs at +500 each.


You get the point here and you’ve seen it with your eyes during the eight-game winning streak. The Birds are a legit Super Bowl contender and they’re only going to get better.

We’re about to enter what could be a pivotal week in the race for the NFC’s top seed and for how the Super Bowl odds are adjusted at PA sports betting apps and NJ betting apps moving forward.

The Lions face the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night. I’ll gladly purchase a cheesehead and cheer from my couch for Jordan Love and Co. because a Packers win changes everything.

Green Bay has the potential to drop the Lions to 11-2 in the same week the Birds take on the Carolina Panthers at home. Sure, Carolina’s improved but let’s be honest, that game should be over by the end of the third quarter.

If everything goes right, the Eagles and Lions would be level on overall record, conference record, and then the tiebreaker comes down to record against common opponents.

Right now, both teams have beaten Dallas, the LA Rams, and Green Bay, and lost to Tampa Bay. The Birds have a game left with Dallas, and as we noted, the Lions play the Packers on Thursday.

Basically it will get incredibly close if the Lions slip up on Thursday night, which in turn, should drop the Eagles’ Super Bowl odds a bit because they have a better chance of landing home-field advantage and playing one less time to reach the Big Game.

The Bills’ and Chiefs’ numbers probably won’t be affected by the results in the NFC, at least in Week 14. The Bills and Lions square off in Week 15 in what everyone will bill as a Super Bowl preview and we’re going to hate hearing that here in Philadelphia.

Buffalo and Kansas City will only change if a Chiefs loss happens, because then the Bills can benefit from their head-to-head tiebreaker, though the Chiefs have found some mystical ways to win this year, so there’s some doubt that’ll actually happen.

I’d say the biggest takeaway here is that the books believe that the Birds are 100 percent a Super Bowl contender, and if there were any doubters, they are gone after the win over the Baltimore Ravens.
