Eagles favored in 14 games, open as three-point ‘dogs in Super Bowl rematch with Chiefs
With the Eagles schedule out, we have way-too-early point spreads for all 17 games.
We knew who the Eagles were playing and where. Now, after the NFL officially released the full schedule Thursday for next season, we know when.
The Eagles won’t open their season with a Super Bowl LVII rematch in Kansas City. Instead, the Eagles travel to New England to face the Patriots in a rematch of Super Bowls LII and XXXIX.

That Kansas City game is instead a Monday Night showdown in November. And the Eagles are underdogs by the same score of February’s Super Bowl defeat (three points).
Prior to Thursday’s release, the Eagles and NFL had already made two games official: home games in December vs. the 49ers and Giants. The Eagles, no surprise as NFC favorites, were installed as the favorite in both of those games at FanDuel.
Now, with the full schedule out, we have a full season worth of way-too-early lines to look at. FanDuel only had a select few games on the board as of Friday morning. But DraftKings had markets open for the entire NFL schedule.
Here’s a week-by-week look at the Eagles’ games.
Odds courtesy of DraftKings. Subject to change.
Week 1: Eagles (-4.5) at Patriots
What could be better for Eagles fans than starting the season 1-0 and spoiling a Tom Brady celebration in Foxborough?
Week 2: Eagles (-5.5) vs. Vikings
The Eagles hosted the Vikings in prime time in Week 2 last year and rolled, 24-7. This time around it’s a Thursday night game.
Week 3: Eagles (-6) at Buccaneers
The first of two road Monday Night Football games for the Eagles.
Week 4: Eagles Eagles (-7) vs. Commanders
Last season’s home game vs. Washington spoiled an undefeated record.
Week 5: Eagles (-4.5) at Rams
Expect to see a lot of green inside SoFi Stadium.
Week 6: Eagles (+1) at Jets
Underdogs for the first time all season. On the road against Aaron Rodgers and a really good defense. Should be a fun game.

Week 7: Eagles (-2.5) vs. Dolphins
Sunday Night Football marks the third national game in the first seven for the Eagles.
Week 8: Eagles (-4) at Commanders
Twice in five games for these two NFC East rivals.
Week 9: Eagles (-3) vs. Cowboys
Welcome to November and a brutal stretch of football. At least the bye week is next.
Week 10: Bye
Take a breather, y’all.
Week 11: Eagles (+3) at Chiefs
You’ve already circled this game on your Eagles calendar. Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Lisa Salters. We’ll know a lot more by Nov. 20 whether this looks like both a rematch and a preview. As expected, this game tops our list of the five biggest games of the Eagles’ season.
Week 12: Eagles (-1.5) vs. Bills
Playing the AFC’s best in back-to-back weeks is a pretty good test after a bye week.
Week 13: Eagles (-2.5) vs. 49ers
The NFC Championship game rematch opens with the Eagles as slight favorites.
Week 14: Eagles (+1) at Cowboys
The stretch of playing against playoff teams continues ... and it’s not done yet.
Week 15: Eagles (-2) at Seahawks
It’s still not done ...
Week 16: Eagles (-7) vs. Giants
Phew. Merry Christmas. That’s seven straight against playoff teams from this past season.
Week 17: Eagles (-10) vs. Cardinals
In an ideal world, the Eagles have clinched the best record in the NFC and this one could matter little. In the less-than-ideal world where it’s a game the Eagles need, at least they’ll be big favorites.
Week 18: Eagles (-2.5) at Giants
If you’re counting, this makes 14 of 17 games the Eagles are early favorites in.
Now, let’s play ball (in four months).
