PHILADELPHIA – There’s no exact science to betting on the NFL preseason, but that’s exactly why it’s the right time to bet. The sportsbooks have less of an idea of how the game may play out which naturally increases a bettor’s odds to cash tickets.

Patriots vs Eagles Preseason Week 2 Odds

The New England Patriots were able to come out of the first week with a win while the Philadelphia Eagles were unable to do so. That doesn’t necessarily indicate how the game will play out, but online sportsbooks do have the Pats favored in their meeting on Thursday.

Patriots vs Eagles Moneyline Odds

  • New England Patriots -130
  • Philadelphia Eagles +110

The Eagles didn’t look too hot in their first game as they were outgained by nearly 140 yards and were only able to gain 52 yards on the ground.

The team went 0/8 on third down and had just 42 offensive snaps as opposed to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 80 but did average 6.6 yards per play. This was however largely due to a 79-yard touchdown by Quez Watkins.

The Patriot’s bend-don’t-break defense carried over to the preseason as they were outgained in yardage but we’re able to emerge with a win. New England’s defense allowed just 4.6 yards per play but allowed Washington to go 12-20 on third downs.

Betting The Total: 38.5 Points

The Under was a hot play in the first week of the preseason as they went 13-3. However, Philadelphia’s game was one of the three to go Over. NFL betting sites have set the total in a spot that seems fair given the teams’ Week 1 scores.

Patriots vs Eagles Total Odds

  • Over 38.5 -110
  • Under 38.5 -110

Either offenses will continue to struggle or, as they have gained some extra reps, could improve. Notably, the sports betting sites didn’t overreact to the trend of Under in Week 1 and have actually set totals higher in Week 2 which can be a strong indication in itself.
