PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Eagles are the first top seed in NFL history to enter its opening playoff game as an underdog.
According to standout defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, it's just another example of this Eagles team not getting its proper respect.
"We've been disrespected all year," he said. "Our record can speak for itself. We're a team that's been disrespected week in and week out, and we just come out and ring the bell every week."
Westgate Las Vegas Superbook set the opening line at minus-2.5 in favor of the sixth-seeded Falcons, who upset the Los Angeles Rams in the wild-card round to advance.
