NFL Week 8 Betting Preview: Atlanta Falcons vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Date/Time: Sun, October 28 / 1:10:00 PM ET, Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA

Two birds. Two very different stories. Welcome to NFL Week 8.

The Atlanta Falcons head into week 8 of the NFL season looking to remain undefeated as they visit the city of brotherly love to take on the Philadelphia Eagles.

But the Eagles haven’t spread much love the last four times they met. The two squared off once each season over the last four, and the Eagles won three of those matches.

The Falcons head to Philadelphia with the 6^th best offense and 7^th best defense in the league this season. Both teams are coming off the bye. The Falcons have a perfect 6-0 record and the Eagles have an evenly split 3-3 record. The Falcons, though sports bettors will agree that they’ll want to crush the Eagles, can afford a more conservative style of play this week.

Matt Ryan is proving to be one of the NFL’s true elites, but sports bettors shouldn’t overlook Roddy White, Tony Gonzalez, and Julio Jones for their unrivalled assistance.

Sportsbook fans checking out past performances will notice that Atlanta’s passing attack is by far one of the most dangerous in the league. Michael Turner continues to be a powerhouse in the back field.

So do the Eagles have a chance? Well,according to the Odds on NFL, they do. Both teams are coming off the bye, so the Eagles have had ample time to prepare for their matchup against the team that can’t seem to fall.

Philadelphia has been mediocre at best this season. It probably hurts them a little more considering they called themselves the dream team back in 2001. That said, they do have Michael Vick, a major force himself who leads a huge field of talent.

If he can get beyond all that fumbling, he has the power to lead an Eagles line that’s nothing short of legendary. LeSean McCoy is one of the best running backs in the NFL. Plus, with Jeremy Maclin, Desean Jackson, and Brent Celek at tight end, the offense looks like a pretty brutal one to face.

Game Odds:
Atlanta Falcons: +2.5-110, ML +125
Philadelphia Eagles: -2.5-110, ML -145
Game Total: 44.5, o/u-110
