Philadelphia at Detroit

Slow-starting Philadelphia is a road favorite in the opener, though they lost six of their first nine last year and are 3-13 ATS in September. The Eagles are one-dimensional on offense looking to run behind QB Jalen Hurts with the passing game ranked #24 in yards. And the defense is below-average, #17 in points allowed last year, next to last in sacks per game, #23 in third-down defense. They allowed 28 TD passes with the NFL's worst completion rate (69.4 percent) allowed. Philadelphia is on a 5-11 spread run on the road. Detroit ended last season splitting its final six games playing hard for coach Dan Campbell. They added important new talent through the draft along with getting cornerback Jeff Okudah back after a season-ending injury in 2021. And they have a reliable veteran quarterback in Jared Goff beginning his second season in the Motor City. The Lions are on a 7-2 ATS run, including 4-1 ATS at home. Play Detroit.
