Eagles at Broncos Prediction
The top bookmakers in the United States have this game listed as the Denver Broncos being favored by less than a field goal at home.
Denver has shown the ability to not begin just tanking after trading away Von Miller as their defense is giving up 14.3 points in their last three games while Philadelphia is allowing 23.5 points in their previous four games. Teddy Bridgewater has been able to throw the ball more accurately than what Jalen Hurts has done this year.
The Eagles are 1-4 against the spread in their last five road games against a team with a winning home record, while the Broncos are 4-1 against the spread in their last five games following a straight-up win.
All in all, go with the Denver Broncos to cover the spread at home and win by at least a full field goal.
