2018 NFL Season Opener Odds

The NFL season opener odds between the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles sees the Eagles slightly favored in this anticipated season opener.

Both these teams have seen Super Bowls the last two years. The Eagles will even be starting Nick Foles due to injury, the quarterback that stepped up and led the Eagles in the Super Bowl last year. The Eagles also ended the Falcons season last year. There is a lot of drama between these two teams.

The line is also close, set at -2.5, favoring the Eagles. Total betting is also interesting, as the line started at a high 47 points and has since dropped to 45. There are a lot of reasons for this. On the Eagles end, the backup, Foles, is starting. Philly is also contending with some injuries that present some question marks as to whether this team is healthy or not. On the Falcons end, they only scored 27 points during the preseason. For these reasons the UNDER is seeing a lot of action.

It is worth noting, that the Patriots lost the season opener as defending Super Bowl champions last season.
