Eagles open as 3.5-point road favorites over Lions in Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles are currently 3.5-point road favorites over the Detroit Lions in Week 1

The Lions are a much-improved football team, and the ascension can be felt in Sunday’s season-opening odds where the Eagles are only slight favorites on the road.

Philadelphia thumped Detroit 44-6 last season on the road, and it was the start of Nick Sirianni’s run-first mentality that catapulted the Birds to postseason play.

Tipico has the opening odds, and the Eagles are just 3.5-point road favorites.

Detroit is fresh off being featured on HBO’s “Hard Knocks,” They’ll face Philadelphia with an improved record and hopes of improving on last year’s 3-13-1 record.
