After coming off a 7-9 record and a head coaching change following the 2015 season, the Philadelphia Eagles are heavily considered underdogs in 2016. Cantor Technology recently released point spreads for every NFL game from Week 1 through Week 16. The Eagles are favored in only five of those 15 games. One of those games is a road game while the other four take place at home.
The Eagles are favored to win at least two of their three home NFC East games. It's not unreasonable to suggest the Eagles could be favored against the Cowboys in Week 17 if that line was posted. Speaking of the division: the Cowboys are favored to win nine games (plus two pick 'ems), the Giants are favored to win eight games (plus one pick' em), and Washington, as reigning NFC East champions, is only favored to win two games (plus one pick 'em).
These lines don't necessarily mean much but they give us a general idea of how the Eagles are viewed, and it's not so favorably.
