Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl Odds
Down goes Carson Wentz and possibly the Eagles chances of making it to Super Bowl 2018 along with him. Can Nick Foles step in and save the day for the Eagles? We shall soon find out!
The Philadelphia Eagles came into the season considered the third best team in the NFC East. 14 weeks into the NFL season, they are tied with the New England Patriots and Minnesota Vikings for the best record in the NFL.
Thanks to their hot start to the season, the Eagles have the best odds of winning the Super Bowl in the NFC at +600. Despite the favorable odds, there are some that doubt they have what it takes to win the Super Bowl, especially now with the torn ACL injury to Wentz.
Carson Wentz has been in the MVP discussion this season thanks to his league leading 29 touchdowns. However, some people believe it’s all a smoke screen and the Eagles aren’t as good as advertised.

Looking at their body of work, the Eagles have 10 wins this season, but only one of those wins has come against a team that currently has a winning record. A 28-23 road win against the Carolina Panthers. The other nine Eagles wins have come against teams with losing records, with the exception of the Los Angeles Chargers and Dallas Cowboys, who are both 6-6.
The Eagles also laid an egg in what was considered one of their biggest tests of the year on Sunday against a Seattle Seahawks team that is missing its best players and lost to the Washington Redskins earlier in the season.
With the Los Angeles Rams coming up on their schedule, it will be interesting to see how the Eagles adjust after their loss to the Seahawks. If the Eagles can’t win or keep the game close, it will be difficult to justify them being considered one of the best teams in the league.
If they win, the Carson Wentz lovefest will continue for another week. So what do you think? Do the Eagles have what it takes to make a Super Bowl run?
