Philadelphia Eagles slightly favored over Atlanta Falcons for NFL Week 2

The 2019 NFL Season got off to a bizarre start for the Philadelphia Eagles. Although they were expected to defeat the Washington Redskins at home with no problem, they ended up falling into a 17-0 hole by the second quarter to start the year off.

By halftime, the Eagles trailed 20-7. Knowing there was no Super Bowl hangover looming over their heads this season, the slow start was admittedly puzzling. Obviously, the boobirds were out at the Linc, and the overreactions were coming at a premium by halftime.

As we know, though, there are four quarters in football.
