The Philadelphia Eagles, (8-8 SU, 8-8 ATS, 7-9 O/U) recorded a mediocre 8-8 record in the BetUS Sportsbook under longtime head coach Andy Reid last season, finishing last in the NFC East for the BetUS NFL odds and online sports wagering community after going 10-6 and reaching the postseason in 2006.

With no clear-cut favorite in the NFC heading into the 2008 regular season opener, Philadelphia’s chances of improving are very good, though several NFC teams are in the same boat, with equally solid chances of doing some serious damage in the NFC in 2008.

Here is a look at the Eagles’ 2008 regular season schedule, along with my brief comments on each matchup and overall analysis on Philadelphia’s 2008 regular season.

09/07/08 St. Louis Rams

Scott Linehan against Andy Reid says it all. The Eagles cruise in this game. Win

09/15/08 @ Dallas Cowboys

The Eagles lose to their longtime foes in this matchup. Loss

09/21/08 Pittsburgh Steelers

I like Pittsburgh a lot, but Philadelphia wins this matchup. Win

09/28/08 @ Chicago Bears

No quarterback means no home win for the Bears here. Win

10/05/08 Washington Redskins

The Eagles roll over the young Skins and first-year head coach Jim Zorn. Win

10/12/08 @ San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers and Alex Smith could be in big trouble this season. Win

BYE

10/26/08 Atlanta Falcons

The Falcons have a lot of rebuilding to do and lose this contest easily. Win

11/02/08 @ Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks win this game, though they’re really better. Loss

11/09/08 New York Giants

The Giants lose here while splitting with Philadelphia in ’08. Win

BYE

11/23/08 @ Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens will have trouble scoring in a big way in 2008. Win

11/27/08 Arizona Cardinals

Whisenhunt and the Cardinals pull off a big win here. Loss

12/07/08 @ New York Giants

The Giants get their season split in this matchup. Loss

12/15/08 Cleveland Browns

Only because they’re home does Philadelphia win here. Win

12/21/08 @ Washington Redskins

I say the Redskins fail to get their season split against Philadelphia in 2008. Win

12/28/08 Dallas Cowboys

The Eagles close out their 2008 regular season with a big home victory. Win

Analysis: While the 11 wins I have picked the Eagles to record in 2008 may be a bit on the high side, this is clearly a team that is going to surpass eight wins in 2008, making their 8½ Over/Under win total odds a ‘gimme’ for online NFL bettors. Take the Eagles to go ‘Over’ likely by a couple of games if you ask me.
