Posted March 17, 20223 yr Eagles tied for fifth-best odds to win the NFC BY SHAMUS CLANCY PhillyVoice Staff KATE FRESE/FOR PHILLYVOICE PHILADELPHIA - DECEMBER 26: Jason Kelce #62 of the Philadelphia Eagles looks on during the game against the New York Giants at Lincoln Financial Field on December 26, 2021 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The NFC is undergoing rapid changes. Drew Brees retired following the 2020 season. Tom Brady retired this winter. Russell Wilson has just been dealt to Denver. The quarterback mainstays that have come to dominate this conference are dwindling. It’s pretty easy to see that the AFC is the superior conference, especially given the quarterback discrepancy. Wilson. Patrick Mahomes. Justin Herbert. Joe Burrow. Josh Allen. Lamar Jackson. It’d be unsurprising to see any of those guys take home the 2022 MVP award. The competitive balance between the two conferences is massively lopsided. This is good for the Eagles. Aaron Rodgers remains in Green Bay and Matthew Stafford just won his first Super Bowl with the Rams, but outside of them, who specifically jumps out? The 49ers are dying to move on from Jimmy Garoppolo. Kyler Murray was a train wreck in his first playoff game. Dak Prescott puts up elite-level stats, but has been hampered by injuries over the last two seasons. That leaves the Eagles with an outsider’s chance of contending in this wild card of a conference. Yes, the Eagles rode their way to the postseason against subpar competition late in the season while looking horrendous in their own right in the Wild Card round against the Bucs. They nevertheless have the best offensive line in the conference and an elite running game, plus cap space and three first-round picks to bolster the talent on their roster. It’s because of this that BetOnline has the Eagles tied for the fifth-best odds of winning the NFC in 2022. Here's how their numbers play out: Team Odds Packers 13/4 49ers 5/1 Rams 11/2 Cowboys 8/1 Eagles 14/1 Cardinals 14/1 Buccaneers 14/1 Vikings 16/1 Saints 20/1 Commanders 22/1 Falcons 28/1 Panthers 28/1 Seahawks 33/1 Bears 45/1 Giants 50/1 Lions 60/1 Odds can differ from one sportsbook to another of course. On DraftKings, the Eagles have the 10th-best odds to win the NFC at +2200 ($10 to win $220). On FanDuel, they have the ninth-best odds at +2000 ($10 to win $200). It’s still early enough in the offseason that things can shift rapidly. Perhaps a team like the Buccaneers or Seahawks trades for Deshaun Watson as he deals with the legal ramifications of his sexual misconduct suits. Huge free agent signings and draft picks are still to be made. If you’re confident the Eagles can nail this offseason, you could do a lot worse than throwing a small wager on them to win the NFC if you shop around and get the best odds. As for how I’d rank NFC teams at the moment, here’s what I got: 1. Rams 2. Packers 3. 49ers 4. Cowboys 5. Eagles 6. Cardinals 7. Buccaneers 8. Saints 9. Vikings 10. Commanders 11. Falcons 12. Seahawks 13. Panthers 14. Giants 15. Lions 16. Bears https://www.phillyvoice.com/best-odds-to-win-nfc-super-bowl-eagles-betting-2022-season/

A conference that lacks that many top tier QBs. In a division that's been a mess so that helps their situation. They are a middle of the pack team. Good enough to challenge to make the play offs, not good enough to be a legit contender.

That's right. They are good and getting better. 5th in the conference make them a layoff team. Goal 1 is getting to the playoffs then anything can happen. UKEF89 - never thought you were a hater.

This team has had so many years of making the play offs but ultimately not going that far. The one year they were the #1 seed they went on to win it. That's got to be the target.

March 18, 20223 yr That chart's off. Dallas is down key linemen and Amari Cooper. Zeke is getting older and slower. This is McCarthy's lame duck year. Washington is a wild card. If Wentz is healthy, he should be an upgrade at QB even with bonehead plays. This had to have been written before Brady's return.

It was written 2 days before Brady unretired.

I think you are right and I think it's why ultimately they fall at the first or second hurdle.

If he's our QB going forward, then I hope he proves me wrong. But at this moment, I just haven't seen it from him.
