Who did the Philadelphia Eagles upset on the NFL scheduling team? Or is their grueling schedule simply the product of winning the NFC East last year? Over the last four games, the Eagles have faced Dallas, Kansas City, Buffalo, and San Francisco. Now Philly finds itself in Dallas today for a huge rematch with the Cowboys that has huge ramifications in the NFC East and the NFL overall. Are you planning to bet on this or any other NFL game today? Then launch a BetMGM account with the BetMGM promo code SBWIRE and take advantage of a protected first bet up to $1,500.
The Eagles' arduous stretch finally caught up with them last week when the San Francisco 49ers dominated the final three quarters on the way to a 42-19 triumph. That certainly made the 49ers look like definite Super Bowl contenders – and they're now BetMGM's leading candidate on the NFL Futures page at +300.
But the NFC's next two best bets are the Eagles (+600) and the Cowboys (+1,000). The Eagles rallied to win 28-23 when these teams met Nov. 5 in Philly, so it makes sense that Dallas entered this weekend as 3.5-point faves over the Eagles tonight. If the Cowboys win, they forge an NFC East tie with the Eagles. You can use the BetMGM promo code SBWIRE and make the final decision for yourself. Whether you choose the Eagles or Cowboys, you will still receive a first-bet offer up to $1,500.
Looking for other big games on this week's NFL slate? The Kansas City Chiefs are 1.5-point home favorites over the Buffalo Bills, the Cincinnati Bengals are a 1-point home favorite against the Indianapolis Colts (in a huge AFC wild-card clash) and the Los Angeles Chargers are slightly favored over the Denver Broncos.
