The Eagles have something in common with Super Bowl 55 champion Tampa Bay.
This time last year the Buccaneers were listed at 50-1 to be crowned champs. That was before Tom Brady flew south for the winter. Entering Week 1, Tampa ended up having odds of 14-1 to win Super Bowl 55.
Fast forwarding to the 2021 season, the Eagles find themselves in a similar spot as Tampa as they are currently at 50-1 ($10 bet to win $500) to win Super Bowl 56 according to NBC Sports betting partner PointsBet. Last February the Eagles held odds of 22-1.

I know Brady is not walking out of the Lincoln Financial Field locker room next season. However, at least this tells us a lot can happen throughout the offseason. I mean we don’t even know who the starting quarterback is for Nick Sirianni’s coaching debut.
Despite coming up short on its quest for a repeat, the Chiefs remain the favorite to win next season’s title at 6-1. They are followed by Green Bay at 9-1 and a trio of teams at 12-1 that include Buffalo, Baltimore and the aforementioned Bucs.
Looking at the NFC East, the Cowboys have the best odds of the four teams at 25-1. The reigning divisional champs, the Washington Football team, are listed at 60-1 with the Giants having odds of 66-1.
It’ll be no small task for the Eagles to get back on top in the NFC East. Both Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes will pay visits to South Philadelphia in 2021.
