Bovada is betting on Eagles to be bad this season

Share

The Eagles have good odds to be bad and bad odds to be good this season.

Per Bovada, the Eagles are tied with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tennessee Titans for the second-longest odds of finishing with the league's best record at 100/1, trailing only the Cleveland Browns (200/1).

The Green Bay Packers (5/1), Seattle Seahawks (13/2) and New England Patriots have the highest odds of finishing with the top regular-season record.

Bovada views the Eagles' finishing in the basement of the standings as a much safer bet. They're tied with seven other teams (at 16/1) to finish with the worst record in the NFL, ahead of only the Browns, 49ers and Titans.  

In the NFC East, the Eagles were also listed as a longshot at plus-600 to take back the divison crown for the first time in three years. (This means a $100 bet on the Eagles to win the NFC East would yield $600.) The favorite to come out of the division is the Giants at plus-175, followed by the Cowboys and Redskins, both plus-240.

The Eagles traded away next year's first-round pick, among others, to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 draft, which they used on Carson Wentz. Not having that pick is already tough to swallow and it could very well land in the top five of the 2017 NFL draft if the Eagles are as bad as some expect them to be. Heck, it's possible the Browns could end up with a pair of top-five picks.
