If we have learned anything from watching the NFL over the years, it’s that success in one season does not guarantee more of the same in the next. The proof of that can be seen in a number of different ways, but most notably in that many teams who lost in the Super Bowl fail to even make the playoffs the following season. It gives us all just some idea of how tough it is to get to the top of the heap in the NFL, even on a team that is loaded with talent. The Philadelphia Eagles come into the new season as one of the favorites to make it to the championship game after a great season last year, but can they meet those lofty expectations? They have a tricky little road trip in Week 1, as they will be heading to Foxboro to face the New England Patriots in a place where it’s always difficult to get a win. The Eagles head out as a 4-point road favorite, with the point total set at 45. Look at our NFL betting preview of this game.

Why bet on the Philadelphia Eagles

As we already mentioned, 2022 proved to be a great year for the Eagles. They went an impressive 14-3 in the regular season before making it all the way to the Sup Bowl, where they came up just short against the Kansas City Chiefs. Rather than resting on their laurels, the Eagles got busy in the offseason, filling some holes and adding some more depth that could potentially make them an even more dangerous proposition this season. Of course, a lot of what they do will depend on the health of Jalen Hurts, as the Eagles are a very different team with him in the lineup. Of the 3 games that they lost last season, 3 came when Hurts was sidelined with an injury. This game is no slam dunk, with the Eagles going 2-5 SU in their last 7 versus the Patriots, although they have won 7 of their last 8 road games overall. Philly has covered in 8 of the last 11 meetings with the Patriots, with the UNDER hitting in 4 of their last 5 overall.

Why bet on the New England Patriots

The glory days for the Patriots are now very much in the rearview mirror as they look to continue life without Tom Brady. Mac Jones has had his moments under center, but it became clear that he needed some help. To their credit, the Patriots have gone out and made some decent additions, including picking up Ezekiel Elliott to help boost the run game and potentially take some pressure off of Jones. Whether that works remains to be seen, but they won’t get many tests tougher than what they are facing in Week 1. The opening week has been good to New England, as they have won 15 of their last 19 Week 1 games. Overall, they covered in just 1 of their last 7 games to end the season, with the UNDER hitting in 5 of their last 6 played in the month of September.

Expert Pick and Series Prediction

For me, this is one of the tougher matchups to predict on the Week 1 schedule. I do think the Eagles will go in and get the win, but I think it might be a grind and a bit of a low scoring affair. Philadelphia Eagles 21 New England Patriots 14
