Philadelphia Eagles vs. New England Patriots Betting Analysis
Nick Sirianni wants to make sure his Eagles are not feeling sorry for themselves after having such a terrific season and losing in the final game a season ago. He is determined to have Philadelphia playing even better football in 2023.
His faith will be in his quarterback, Jalen Hurts. Hurts had a fantastic season in 2022 with 3,701 passing yards and 22 touchdowns. Hurts threw just six interceptions on the season.
His top target was AJ Brown. Brown finished just shy of 1,500 receiving yards on the season. If Brown is not open, Devonta Smith is an excellent second option. Smith caught 95 passes for just under 1,200 yards. Philadelphia Eagles games are fun to watch when both these two are on their game and going deep for the offense.
The run game will look different in 2022. Last season, it was Miles Sanders who took 259 carries. This season, the combination of Kenneth Gainwell, Boston Scott, and Deandre Swift should get the workload. In saying that, Hurts was the second-best running back a season ago with 760 yards.
New England’s QB Gamble
The New England Patriots will turn to Mac Jones as the starting quarterback once again. This will be a make-or-break type of season for the Patriots quarterback. Jones threw 11 interceptions last season against just 14 touchdowns. Jones played in 14 of the 17 games.
His top targets this season will start with JuJu Smith-Schuster, who signed a three-year deal with the Patriots. DeVante Parker and Kendrick Bourne should also be in the mix. Rhomondre Stevenson is the top running back option for New England.
He will look to build on his 1,040 rushing yards and five touchdowns. New England recently added former Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott to the roster. It will be interesting to see what the New England Patriots statistics are regarding the ground game.
Philadelphia Eagles vs. New England Patriots Betting Picks
The Eagles grab their first win of the season here. This is a big game for the Eagles to ensure they are not suffering from losing the Super Bowl hangover. This is not an easy game to kick off the season, as they must go on the road against a well-coached football team. But, as we mentioned earlier, one team has more talent than the other.
The Philadelphia Eagles should win this game over the New England Patriots.
- Our two picks for our Eagles vs Patriots picks & parlays: are the Philadelphia Eagles -4 and the Over 45.5 on Sunday!
