Philadelphia Eagles Odds to Win 2011 Super Bowl

The Philadelphia Eagles limp into the playoffs at 10-6, but have known they were going to win the NFC East for a couple weeks no so it’s understandable. The Eagles lost to the Vikings in Week 16 followed by a loss to the Cowboys in Week 17, but Philly rested their starters against Dallas knowing they were locked into the No. 3 seed in the NFC. So they come in rested and ready to go, and you will find the Eagles at +1200 to win Super Bowl XLV.

The Eagles will host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, January 9 in the wild-card round. This will be a rematch from their season-opener, a game in which they lost 27-20. Philly trailed in that game 20-3 before starting quarterback Kevin Kolb went out with a concussion, leaving the offense to Michael Vick. He would bring his team back to nearly pull off the upset while racking over nearly 300 yards of offense in just over a half of work. The NFL odds on their second meeting show us a line of Philadelphia -3 over Green Bay with a total set of 46 points.

Had Vick played the entire season, he would likely be the league MVP with the numbers he would have put up. Philly was torn on a starting quarterback for almost the entire first half of the season before head coach Andy Reid realized that Vick was his guy. Philly made their run in the middle of the season in which they won eight of ten games with Vick leading the way for most of it. The game that sealed the division for them was a 38-31 come-from-behind victory over the New York Giants on the road in which they trailed 31-10 with just over seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

With this offense, the Eagles have a chance against anybody. Philly ranks No. 2 in the league in total offense at 389.3 yards per game. They are fifth in rushing at 145.4 yards and ninth in passing at 243.9 yards per contest. Vick has thrown for 3,018 yards and 21 touchdowns to 6 interceptions, while also rushing for 676 yards and 9 scores. LeSean McCoy had a big year, rushing for 1,080 yards and 7 touchdowns while also catching a team-high 78 balls for 592 yards and 2 scores. DeSean Jackson is their big-play guy, catching 47 passes for 1,056 yards and 6 touchdowns. Jeremy Maclin gets overlooked, but he has 70 receptions for 964 yards and a team-high 10 touchdown grabs.

The reason I do not recommend betting the Eagles to win the Super Bowl or even advance to it is their defense. Vick can solve a lot of problems, but he can’t solve the issues this Philly stop unit has had all season. Yes, Philly puts up 27.4 points per game, but they also allow 23.6 points and 327 yards per contest. Rarely will you find a Super Bowl winner that had a mediocre defense, and this Eagles stop unit is mediocre at best. Philly’s defense allowed 24 or more points in five of their final six games overall, and are clearly stumbling into the playoffs.
