Eagles at 6-1....
I'm not a big football fan myself, but my best friend happens to be a die hard Eagles fan. He's placing some serious cash on the Eagles at 6-1 to win the Super Bowl in a future, and says I should do the same. If I place a couple grand on it is it a decent wager? Is this the Eagles year? I figure if I put 5K on them at 6-1 and they happen to make it to the super bowl I can at least make a back up wager against them if I want....

Re: Eagles at 6-1....
Their backup depth is thin at RB and WR. Still, they're almost guaranteed to make the playoffs and you can start hedging your bet then.

Re: Eagles at 6-1....
fwiw, at other sportsbooks online, the eagles are going off at 15-2 odds. shop around if you are going to make this bet.

Philly hasn't had a championship team in any sport since 1983. They ain't gonna win this year either.

I thinkt he eagles have a better chance this year, than last year. Back to the original point of Eagles 6-1, I really don't know if that is a good bet. I know you can get a better number than that. And also, placing the bet now, knowing you are going to hedge is a bad idea. The only time a "hedge" is good, is when better the other side is +ev by itself. But, the OP cannot know this yet. craig

Re: Eagles at 6-1....
All the other teams in the NFC East got better. The Eagles may not be able to cruise into the playoffs like last year.
They will most likely make the playoffs, but they won't be able to rest starters the last three games. Also, with Pinkston gone you are basically placing your bet on whether T.O decides to play or to self destruct. When he does not play Westbrook does not have open room to run, McNabb gets put under more pressure and their offense shuts down.

better odds to be had, shop around homer speaking, i'd bet it to the uninformed - the NFC East did not get better... nyg has no qb, dallas has no qb, and washington well... they have no qb either - and thats just one position, none of those teams have anyone to throw the ball to either - dallas defense should be a little better, thats the only half-significant improvement i see in the division this year - but how will they score points? (they are not the ravens) (i did bet it at 7-1 two weeks ago)

Re: Eagles at 6-1....
If there is one thing I like about CCX is that he has no problem admitting he is a homer. And, just to get it out of the way now: If the Pats don't make the Superbowl I sure want to see McNabb in it.
