"(The Eagles) are seeing roughly 78% of all spread-play tickets, with the line opening at -1.5. Now -2.5, the action is clearly siding with Philadelphia, and likely goes to at least a juiced -2.5 if not light -3 before kickoff on Friday."
The Eagles are the most-bet NFL team for Week 1 in terms of wagers and deal with at BetMGM, and they're getting 72% of the bets and 77% of the deal with.
