The Eagles won’t field the same team in 2018, but they’re still the favorites to get back to the Super Bowl.
As they get ready to defend their championship this year, the Eagles have the best odds to win the NFC again in 2018, according to Bovada.
The Eagles’ odds to come out of the NFC are 5/1, followed by the Packers (6/1), Rams and Vikings (7/1) and the Saints (10/1).
The Packers are a bit of a surprise that high on the list after a 7-9 season in 2017, but they still have Aaron Rodgers, so that explains it close enough.
The next closest NFC East team is Dallas (14/1), followed by the Giants (22/1) and Washington (26/1).
Last season, the Eagles won 13 games and that was after they mailed in the meaningless regular season finale against the Cowboys. But it would be really tough to win 13 games again. In fact, according to Bovada, the Eagles’ over/under number for wins in 2018 is 10.
That doesn’t sound great, but it’s behind just the Patriots (11), who have won double digits for an incredible 15 straight seasons! Three other teams also have over/under numbers of 10: Packers, Vikings, Steelers.
