The Eagles are looking
their second victory of the 2024 preseason, following their recent triumph over
the Ravens in Baltimore. Meanwhile, the Patriots will seek to maintain their
undefeated status in the preseason.

While this is just the
NFL Preseason, bookies are still enthusiastic about entering the second week of
the Preseason. This is because every wager they take means more money for them
if they can get their lines correct. Another reason why
the football season is important for bookies is because football bettors
tend to bet on a regular basis. Therefore, it is a steady football betting
handle for sportsbooks.

Rookie RB Will
Shipley caught a seven-yard touchdown pass from Kenny Pickett, allowing
Philadelphia to take a 6-3 lead in the first quarter. Additionally, rookie RB
Kendall Milton led the Eagles with a game-high 39 rushing yards, contributing
to their overall advantage of 259 yards compared to the Ravens’ 164.

According to BookiePPHSolutions.com, this is the
first time since 2000, the Patriots began the season without coach Belichick.
The Patriots (4-13) finished near the bottom of the NFL in various offensive
metrics last season and selected QB Drake Maye with the third overall pick in
the 2024 NFL Draft. In Jerod Mayo’s inaugural game as head coach, New England
recorded five sacks and restricted Carolina to just 151 total yards in a 17-3
victory at home.

New England
established a 7-0 lead at halftime, thanks to a two-yard touchdown run by Kevin
Harris. Rookie QB Joe Milton later connected with JaQuae Jackson for a 38-yard
touchdown pass. Kayshon Boutte led the Patriots with a game-high 53 receiving
yards.

Why the Philadelphia Eagles Will Win

The Eagles (11-6)
have emerged as one of the most dynamic offenses in the league following the
introduction of Jalen Hurts as quarterback and the acquisition of RB Saquon
Barkley during the offseason. On Friday, Jake Elliott successfully converted a
49-yard field goal as time expired, securing a 16-13 victory for Philadelphia
against Baltimore on the road.

Furthermore, several
statistics models from betting software give the
Eagles a win probability of 65%. On the other hand, they give the Patriots have
a win probability of 35%.

Why the New England Patriots Will Win

The Patriots have
successfully covered the spread in two out of their last three preseason games,
highlighted by a strong 17-3 win against the Panthers at home last week.
Although they experienced a challenging 4-13 season, the Patriots performed
admirably against the spread towards the end.

Thus, they were able
to secure victories in four of their last five contests. Notably, New England
achieved a dominant 35-0 victory over the Eagles in a preseason game held in
Philadelphia a few seasons ago.

Bet on the New England Patriots at +1.5

Kendrick Bourne, the wide receiver for New England, is
continuing his recovery from a torn ACL and will be unavailable for this game.
Last week, Philadelphia recorded an average of only 3.4 yards per pass attempt,
a performance that is unlikely to suffice against a formidable New England
defense. Therefore, the Patriots will take the win and cover the spread with a
final score of 19-14.
