Despite winning their last two games and entering their next matchup with a better record than their opponent, the 4-2 Philadelphia Eagles are not favored in Week 8. The Birds opened as 1.5-point road underdogs to the 3-4 Cincinnati Bengals, according to FanDuel.
Of course, the line is actually showing some respect to the Eagles since the Bengals are less than standard three-point home favorites.
But it’s not hard to argue Cincy is better than their losing record indicates. They actually have a positive point differential at +12, which ranks 16th best in the NFL (and just right ahead of the 5-2 Houston Texans).
