Summarised from 2 outlets · 3 reports · Updated 14 Oct, 23:32 · Archive

The Philadelphia Eagles, on a three-game losing streak, are slight betting favourites against the Carolina Panthers at home on Sunday.

The Philadelphia Eagles return from London after losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars to face the Carolina Panthers in Philadelphia on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. The Eagles are slight betting favourites, with sportsbooks setting them at around 1–1.5 points over Carolina.

The Eagles are 2–3 after three straight losses. They have scored the fewest points in the NFC East Division and the fourth-fewest in the NFL. In their most recent loss to Jacksonville, the Eagles held leads on two occasions in the fourth quarter. Jake Elliott kicked a 48-yard field goal with eight seconds remaining to give the team the lead, but his ensuing kickoff was returned 53 yards by Ameer Abdullah to set up a walk-off 57-yard field goal by Cam Little. The Eagles were out-gained 408–232 and managed just 22 rushing yards with a banged-up backfield, while going 0-for-2 on fourth-down conversions.

PhillyVoice reports that the Eagles' struggles have been driven by injuries, poor offensive playcalling and poor situational decision-making. The team has fallen to below .500 for the first time since 2021. The Panthers arrive off a bye week with a 2–2 record and lead the NFC South Division.

They too are very banged up, though they do have the advantage of coming off of their bye week.PhillyVoice · 14 Oct, 23:56
