The Eagles have an 11-game home winning streak and have covered the spread in six of their last seven NFC East games, but they will be missing cornerback Darius Slay. In his place, rookie Andrew Mukuba or inexperienced Sydney Brown will take the field.
The Eagles' running back, Saquon Barkley, led the NFL in rushing attempts, rushing yards, and rushing yards per game in the 2024 season.
