The 2021 NFL offseason is far from over, which is why we’re dubbing the following overview as an early look at the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl odds and win total. That being said, it’s hard to imagine how the team’s current outlook changes dramatically as September draws closer. The NFL Draft could provide more reason for excitement, no doubt, but rookie impact is far from guaranteed.

Yikes. The Eagles are tied with the Jags, who were the NFL’s worst team last year. Only four teams have longer odds than Philly does.
An optimist could point out that the Eagles were also considerable preseason Super Bowl underdogs when they won their first Vince Lombardi Trophy! They were actually tied for the second-longest ever at +6000.
Of course, there’s much more reason to be skeptical about the 2021 Eagles. No definitive answer at quarterback, unproven coaching staff, lacking talent, etc. There’s a real chance Philly could be in the mix for the No. 1 overall pick this year. Not saying they’re the favorites for that but they’re closer to that end of the spectrum than winning another Super Bowl.

On that note, the Eagles are tied for the third-lowest win total at 6.5. They’re keeping company with the Jaguars (again), Jets, and Bengals. Only the Lions (5) and Texans (4.5) have lower expectations.
Interestingly enough, these odds have the over on the Eagles’ win total at -110. That’s to say you’d have to bet $110 to win $100. The under, meanwhile, is +123, meaning you can bet $100 to win $123.
There’s a case to be made that the Eagles will be better than many expect this season. Maybe Hurts takes a big step in Year 2, the new coaching staff turns out to be a major upgrade, Howie Roseman nails the draft, the team finally gets some good injury luck ... and so on. Even if just some of those things happen, they could feasibly get above 6.5 in a suspect NFC East.
To no surprise, I feel more confident in betting the under at this stage. The Eagles had four wins last year and they came over Nick Mullens, Taysom Hill, Daniel Jones, and Ben DiNucci. They were a pretty bad team! And I fail to see how they’ll suddenly be much better.
What say you? You feeling confident enough to bet on the Birds?
