For the first game of the season, the Philadelphia Eagles will be taking on the Detroit Lions in an NFC match-up, starting at 1 PM ET on Sunday the 11th of September. After the preseason, the Eagles are ranked in the middle of the pack in the NFL, while the Lions are not expected to be in playoff contention.

This is reflected in the current odds on main Pennsylvania online sportsbooks, with Eagles as the favorite. Right now you can get the best odds for moneylines from BetRivers, with Eagles -195 and Lions +170. The spread is set at +/-4, and over/under at 48.5.

In Philadelphia, all eyes are on Jalen Hurts and the offense, as the quarterback is expected to showcase more of his talents this season than the previous ones. The offensive line is also strong with plenty of depth, and new hire A.J. Brown proved to be a good catch during training camp.

As for the Lions, a win this week would be a surprise and requires plenty of overachieving from both offense and defense. A key piece of the offense, right guard Halapoulivaati Vaitai, is out with a back injury and debate over his replacement is still going on. The Hard Knocks series brings back some hype to the Motor City, but overall, the team shouldn’t be able to take down the Eagles.
