The Philadelphia Eagles are the reigning Super Bowl champions, entering the new season as the favorites for the NFC East at -130 odds with DraftKings Sportsbook. They face competition from the Washington Commanders at +205 and the Dallas Cowboys at +550, while the New York Giants lag behind at +2500 in the NFL odds.
New York, facing a notoriously challenging schedule this year, has a projected season win total of 5.5, with betting odds set at -120 for the Under at DraftKings, making it a prime target for those betting on futures.

In-Depth Analysis
Cohen noted, “Last year, Philadelphia scored 29 rushing touchdowns (2nd most in the NFL), with contributions from Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley. If they remain healthy, there’s excellent value on this bet.” In the meantime, Cohen expressed concerns about the Giants, stating, “This team lacks talent and needs a reset after the season; I predict they finish around 5-11 this year.”
In an interesting forecast, he suggests, “Watching the Commanders could yield surprises … armed with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, they might just make a significant impact upfront in the league.”
