Why bet on the Philadelphia Eagles?

One of the best teams this season has already secured their spot in the next phase: the Philadelphia Eagles. They defeated the Carolina Panthers 22-16, and thanks to their nine-game winning streak and an 11-2 record, they can comfortably approach the remaining games.

The major turnaround for Nick Sirianni’s team has been their defense, largely due to Vic Fangio, their new defensive coordinator. The Eagles have transformed from being one of the worst defenses last year to one of the best this season, if not the best. They lead and rank in the top three in several categories, including allowing the fewest yards per game (284.2) and the second-fewest points per game (18).

Jalen Hurts has literally carried the team on his shoulders. The quarterback has favored rushing over passing, making him tied with Derrick Henry for the most rushing touchdowns in the NFL this season: 13. In their last game against the Panthers, Hurts threw two touchdown passes and also scored one on the ground.

Saquon Barkley isn’t far behind, with 11 rushing touchdowns on 266 attempts and 1,623 yards. He has matched his best record from the 2018-19 season, his rookie year with the New York Giants. With a few games remaining, he still has time to surpass that mark.

Why bet on the Pittsburgh Steelers?

The Pittsburgh Steelers are still in the playoff race and are in a strong position. Their 10-3 record has them leading the AFC North ahead of the Baltimore Ravens (8-5), setting up an intriguing battle, especially with their matchup scheduled for next week.

The Steelers are on a two-game winning streak, defeating the Cincinnati Bengals 44-38 and then the Cleveland Browns 27-14. These victories came against the other two teams in their division, neither of which now poses a threat to their top spot.

Veteran quarterback Russell Wilson has thrown six touchdowns in his last three games, including an impressive three against the Bengals. However, the team has not particularly excelled in any specific category this season. One standout is kicker Chris Boswell, who leads the NFL in field goals with 36 successful attempts out of 39.

Final Betting Analysis: Philadelphia Eagles vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

The last time these two teams faced off was on October 30, 2022, when the Eagles won 35-13 with four touchdowns from Jalen Hurts. In the past six matchups between these teams, the home club has always won. The last time a visiting team won was in Philadelphia, back in 2000, at the now-demolished Three Rivers Stadium.

The odds at Gambyl Exchange favor the Philadelphia Eagles, with a Moneyline of 1.45, while the Pittsburgh Steelers are listed at 3.0.

Although the Philadelphia Eagles have secured their postseason spot, they won’t take their foot off the gas, especially at home in front of their fans. We believe they’ll play without pressure and come away with the victory. Go for a win for the locals at the OVER.
