Eagles’ Performance Analysis
This season, the Eagles have displayed resilience in tight games. They secured victories in challenging matchups, including against the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Their performance has been marked by close calls, with some questioning their consistency.
Philadelphia is currently tied with Buffalo for the best record in the NFL and stands at 3-1 against the spread (ATS), ranking among the top teams in that category. Their strong start has been partly attributed to fortunate circumstances, as they lead the league in Luck Ratio.
Broncos’ Competitive Edge

The Broncos’ ability to compete could pose challenges for the Eagles as they visit the Linc, a venue where victories are hard to come by for visiting teams.
