Eagles are Now -30000 to Win the NFC East

The Eagles took a long and winding road to get to this point of the NFL season, but the Birds are now one win away from clinching the NFC East.
They’re -30000 at bet365 to win the NFC East after the Week 15 win over the Las Vegas Raiders and the Dallas Cowboys’ Sunday night loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Dallas’ path to the NFC East title was always going to be long and full of luck, but the Cowboys at least put themselves into the discussion for a short period after they won three straight games out of the bye.
Now, the Eagles just have to beat the Marcus Mariota-led Washington Commanders in Week 16 to secure the divisional crown. They can also clinch with a Cowboys home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 16.
We all know the Eagles have loftier expectations beyond the NFC East title. They are two games back of the Los Angeles Rams and one game adrift of the Chicago Bears. The Birds have the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Rams, but don’t against the Bears.
The Eagles are currently +50000 at BetMGM to be the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC.
They are in a lot of mathematical trouble to get to that point. One of the Rams or Seahawks will have 12 wins through Week 16 since they play each other on Thursday night.
Seattle finishes with road games against Carolina and San Francisco, while the Rams play Arizona and Atlanta. Ideally, the Seahawks would beat the Rams, but it’s difficult to imagine the Rams losing to both the Cardinals and Falcons. Los Angeles is currently the -160 favorite at BetMGM to win the No. 1 seed.
SPORTSBOOK
Chicago losing out is more reasonable since da Bears face Green Bay, San Francisco, and Detroit. BUT Green Bay has to lose twice in the next three weeks for the Eagles to finish ahead of them if they both win the division.
Right now, it looks like the Birds are destined for the No. 3 seed, even though there’s a slight path to one of the two higher seeds.
Since they will be at home in the wild-card round, I would fire up PA and NJ betting apps and wager the Eagles to make the divisional round. It’s -185 at bet365 right now. And as Kevin would note, we take those winnings and go to town with online slot games and online casinos.
