According to BetMGM.com, the Eagles are favored to repeat as Super Bowl champions. The Birds are a +650 (if you bet $100, you win $650) to repeat as champions. Philadelphia is also a +300 to win the NFC championship, again.

No team gave the Eagles fits last year in the playoffs quite like the Los Angeles Rams did in the divisional round. While Philadelphia ran rampant on the Rams last year in Los Angeles, Sean McVay's team is better this season with Davante Adams in tow.

The Eagles are playing the NFC North and the AFC West this season. Each of those divisions produced three playoff teams a year ago. In all, the Eagles will face 11 playoff teams from a season ago. It begs the question: Where’s the layup for them this season?
