Team Overview
The Eagles enter 2026 as the NFC East favorite after another strong season under Nick Sirianni. Jalen Hurts remains the centerpiece, but Philadelphia has major questions after losing A.J. Brown and changing offensive coordinators. The defense remains talented, giving the Eagles the highest floor in the division. The biggest question is whether the offense can replace Brown’s production.
Offensive Line Analysis
The Eagles’ offensive line remains one of the foundations of the roster, but it is not completely free of concerns. Philadelphia lost legendary offensive-line coach Jeff Stoutland during the offseason, which represents a major structural change for a group that has been one of the team’s defining strengths. Lane Johnson remains an elite veteran presence, but his 2025 injury coincided with a three-game losing streak and contributed to Philadelphia falling out of the race for the NFC’s top seed. The Eagles also struggled to run the football efficiently last season, ranking 23rd in yards per rush despite having Saquon Barkley healthy for most of the year. The offensive line therefore has two jobs in 2026: protect Jalen Hurts and restore the physical rushing identity that has traditionally defined Philadelphia. If Johnson stays healthy and the group maintains its level despite the coaching transition, this can still be an elite unit. If injuries strike again, the offense could become much more vulnerable than the market expects.
Defensive Line Analysis
Philadelphia’s defensive front is still a major strength, but the Eagles have undergone substantial turnover at edge rusher. The team lost Jaelan Phillips, Brandon Graham, Azeez Ojulari and several other edge players, while bringing in Jonathan Greenard, Arnold Ebiketie, Joe Tryon-Shoyinka and A.J. Epenesa. Greenard is particularly important because he recorded 12-plus sacks in each of the previous two seasons before dropping to only three sacks in 2025. Philadelphia needs him to return to his earlier form. The Eagles’ defense finished seventh in opponents’ yards per play in 2025, and maintaining that level will be critical while the offense adjusts to a new coordinator and the loss of Brown. If the new edge rotation works, Philadelphia has the depth and talent to remain one of the NFC’s best defenses.
2026 NFL Season
Week 1
Washington Commanders at Philadelphia Eagles | Sunday, September 13 | 4:25 PM ET | Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA
This is the actual Week 1 matchup. NFL.com confirms that the defending NFC East champion Eagles open the season against Washington at home. The game is particularly interesting because these teams split their two meetings in each of the previous two seasons, and Washington’s Jayden Daniels missed both matchups against Philadelphia last season.
The current market has Philadelphia around -5.5, with the Eagles roughly -238 on the moneyline, Washington around +195, and the total around 46.5 at the latest Fox Sports snapshot. CBS Sports’ live odds page has also shown Philadelphia around -4.5, illustrating how quickly this line can move.
The matchup favors Philadelphia because the Eagles have the more proven roster and home-field advantage. Washington’s healthy Jayden Daniels makes the game much more dangerous than the spread might suggest, but Philadelphia should be able to create pressure and force Washington’s offense into long-yardage situations.
Week 1 Recap
Philadelphia opened the season with a 24-22 win over Washington, continuing one of the league’s most impressive Week 1 trends.
Jalen Hurts accounted for three touchdowns, while the Eagles’ defense held Washington to 295 total yards. NFL.com notes that Philadelphia has now won six straight season openers and that the Eagles have repeatedly kept opponents under 300 yards since Vic Fangio took over the defense.
The final score makes the game look closer than it was from a defensive perspective.
Philadelphia still has one of the most complete rosters in the NFC, and the defense once again demonstrated its ability to limit explosive offense.
The main concern is that Washington remained within two points, meaning Philadelphia still has work to do offensively.
Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles at Tennessee Titans | Sunday, September 20
Philadelphia is an early 7-point favorite, with the total around 40.5.
This is a completely different matchup from Week 1.
Tennessee lost 23-10 to the Jets and struggled to consistently create offense.
The Eagles should have advantages on both sides of the ball, particularly if they can force Tennessee into obvious passing situations.
Betting angle: Eagles -7 is playable if you believe Philadelphia’s defense creates enough short fields. The low total does introduce some risk, because a 23-17 type of game would make covering seven difficult.
Week 2 Recap
The Philadelphia Eagles remained undefeated after beating Tennessee 24-20, improving to 2-0.
However, Philadelphia has now won both of its games by relatively narrow margins.
The Eagles defeated Washington 24-22 in Week 1 and Tennessee 24-20 in Week 2.
The defense continues to provide Philadelphia with a strong foundation, while Jalen Hurts and the offense have done enough to win.
The biggest concern is consistency. Philadelphia has not yet produced a dominant offensive performance, and injuries are another factor to monitor.
Still, after two weeks, the Eagles remain undefeated and sit at the top of the NFC East.
Week 3
Philadelphia Eagles at Chicago Bears | Monday, September 28
Philadelphia is currently a 3.5-point favorite, with the total around 43.5.
Chicago’s offensive struggles against Minnesota make this an especially interesting matchup.
Philadelphia’s defense has already shown it can limit opposing offenses, while Chicago will be looking to rebound from its three-point performance.
Betting angle: Eagles -3.5 is the current number. The biggest variable is Chicago’s quarterback situation and whether the Bears can return to the offensive form they showed in Week 1.
Week 3 Recap
The Philadelphia Eagles suffered their first loss of the season, falling to Chicago 27-7.
Philadelphia entered Week 3 at 2-0 but struggled to generate offense against the Bears.
The Eagles scored only seven points and were unable to respond after Chicago established control.
The loss also raises questions about Philadelphia’s offense after two narrow wins to open the season.
The Eagles are now 2-1, tied with the Giants for the best record in the NFC East.
Week 4
Los Angeles Rams at Philadelphia Eagles | Sunday, October 4
The Rams are currently around -2.5, with the total around 46.5.
This is a major test for Philadelphia after its first loss.
Los Angeles enters the game at 1-2 after losing to Denver 30-26 in Week 3.
Philadelphia will need to find a way to generate more offense, particularly after scoring only seven points against Chicago.
Betting angle: Rams -2.5 is an unusual line because Philadelphia is playing at home despite being listed as the underdog. The market is clearly reacting to the Eagles’ Week 3 performance.
Week 4 Review
The Philadelphia Eagles suffered another disappointing result in Week 4, losing 24-20 to the Los Angeles Rams.
Philadelphia fell to 2-2 after beginning the season 2-0.
The Eagles’ offensive struggles were particularly concerning. NFL.com reports that Philadelphia finished with only 172 total yards, its lowest total since Week 14 of 2014.
The Eagles also went 0-for-12 on third down, while Jalen Hurts threw for only 93 yards. Philadelphia was also without key offensive players including DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert.
After the 27-7 loss to Chicago in Week 3, the Eagles now have back-to-back losses and face another difficult challenge in Week 5.
Week 5
Philadelphia Eagles at Jacksonville Jaguars | Sunday, October 11 — London
Jacksonville is currently around -5.5, with the total around 42.5.
The Jaguars enter the game at 3-1 after defeating Cincinnati 22-17.
This is an important matchup for Philadelphia because the Eagles need to prove that the recent offensive struggles are temporary rather than a larger problem.
Betting angle: Jacksonville -5.5 is a significant number against a Philadelphia team that is still only 2-2. The Eagles’ recent offensive production makes it difficult to confidently lay points with them, but Jacksonville’s own offensive consistency will determine whether the Jaguars can cover a number this large.
Week 6 Recap
The Philadelphia Eagles suffered another setback, losing 25-14 to the Carolina Panthers.
Philadelphia fell to 2-4, extending its losing streak and increasing the pressure on the team to find answers on offense.
The Eagles have struggled to sustain drives and produce consistent scoring during this losing stretch. After beginning the season with two victories, Philadelphia has now lost four of its last four games.
The team faces an immediate opportunity to respond against Dallas, but it will need a much more convincing performance to change the narrative around its season.
Week 7
Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles | Monday, October 26
Current line: Cowboys -4.5
Total: 44.5
Philadelphia hosts Dallas in a game that could have major consequences for the NFC East race.
The Eagles need to stop their losing streak, while Dallas is also looking to recover after back-to-back defeats. Neither team has established the consistency expected from a division contender.
Betting angle: Eagles +4.5 offers a reasonable cushion in a divisional matchup, but Philadelphia needs to show that its offense can move the ball more effectively. Dallas is favored, yet its own inconsistency makes this game difficult to evaluate without considering the latest injury reports.
Odds to Win Division and Super Bowl
Odds to Win NFC East: +110
Odds to Win Super Bowl: +1600
Win Total: 10.5 — Over +105 / Under -125
Predictions
Playoff Chances: Very strong. Philadelphia has made the playoffs in all five seasons with Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts.
Super Bowl Chances: Legitimate contender. The offense has questions, but the roster still has championship-level talent.
Philadelphia is the safest team in the NFC East, but that doesn’t automatically mean it is the best bet at every price. The +110 division number is significantly less attractive than the +140 that CBS Sports identified earlier in the summer. The A.J. Brown trade and offensive uncertainty have created some concern, but Philadelphia still has the division’s best combination of quarterback, coaching continuity, defense and schedule.
Betting Verdict: Eagles to win NFC East if +110 or better; Over 10.5 at plus money is also attractive.
