Philadelphia Eagles NFL Odds at SBG Global

The Eagles were 7-9 in terms of over/under NFL Odds in 2007. Let’s take a look at more NFL Odds stats and numbers from 2007 for the Eagles. NFL Game Odds had the Eagles as a serious contender to win the NFC East before the season began but things just didn’t go well for Philadelphia.

The offense for the Eagles did not have a playmaker other than Brian Westbrook and was constantly stopped short of scoring touchdowns. The team was 6th in the NFL in total yards on offense according to NFL betting odds stats yet they 17th in points scored. The defense ranked 10th in total yards allowed according to NFL Odds stats which is pretty good and they were 9th in points allowed according to NFL Odds numbers. The problem was special teams. The defense was good but was constantly playing on a short field which means they gave up more points than they would have normally.

NFL Odds numbers tell us that the Eagles lost five games by four points or fewer. That means they could have been much better than they were. Head coach Andy Reid has always been thought of as an excellent head coach but his focus and attention was not on the Eagles as much as it should have been in 2007 and the team suffered. The offense did not put enough points on the board and the defense was constantly put in bad situations by the offense or by the horrible special teams that impacted NFL Odds. Even kicker David Akers had a bad season according to NFL Game Odds numbers.

NFL Odds show that Philadelphia has some good news in 2008 as they get a last place schedule that should help. Donovan McNabb must improve his play and the team has to find a receiver to complement Kevin Curtis so they can impact NFL Odds. The team also needs a linebacker and a defensive end if they really want to make a serious move in NFL Game odds in 2008.
