Patriots Vs Eagles Odds in NFL

The New England Patriots will gun for a fifth consecutive win over Philadelphia when they play host to the Eagles in Week 13 as big 10-point betting favorites at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. New England returns home for Sunday afternoon’s Eagles vs. Patriots betting matchup at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots suffered their first straight-up defeat of the season in a 30-24 loss in Denver in which the Broncos overcame a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter before ending New England’s 13-game SU win streak just three plays into overtime. While the defeat ended the Patriots’ perfect season aspirations, of greater concern is the health of tight end Rob Gronkowski, who was carted off the field late in the loss to Denver after suffering a knee injury. Gronkowski is the third Patriots downfield target to go down to injury over the past couple weeks, joining receivers Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman, both of whom were held out of the lineup against the Broncos. After undergoing surgery on his injured foot, Edelman likely will miss the remainder of the regular season, while Amendola has been limited in practice this week while he nurses an injured knee but is expected to be ready for Sunday’s date with Philadelphia. Fans and teammates feared the worst when Gronkowski left Sunday’s game, but the club reports the three-time Pro Bowl tight end suffered no structural damage and is listed as week-to-week. His availability for this weekend is in doubt. The Eagles, meanwhile, travel to New England searching for an end to their current three-game SU and ATS losing streak. It has been a disappointing campaign for Philadelphia, which opened the season as a strong 17/2 bet on the Super Bowl 50 odds but, with a 4-7 SU record, has tumbled to a distant 150/1. Complicating matters is a shoulder injury that kept Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford out of action in last week’s 45-14 loss to the Detroit Lions, Philadelphia’s second consecutive blowout defeat. Bradford is expected to return against the Patriots, but the Eagles have much work to do to reverse their current slide, during which they have surrendered 36.7 points per game. Philadelphia has proven to be a strong late-season performer in recent years, going 14-6 SU in its last 20 games on the road during the month of December, and 8-2 SU and 9-1 ATS in its last 10 December dates as a road underdog. It has been almost 16 years since the Eagles last tallied a win over the Patriots, losing four straight SU since while going 2-2 ATS.
