Atlanta Falcons vs. Philadelphia Eagles Same Game Parlay Picks Recap

We went on to cash both legs of the same game parlay in the week 2 Monday Night Football clash that saw the Atlanta Falcons pull out a miraculous 22-21 outright win and cover over the 

Philadelphia Eagles in front of what ended up being a shocked Linc crowd. I recommended taking the 6.5 points on the NFL odds with the Falcons and pairing it with the under of 47 points. We ended up getting the best of both numbers with the side and total going off the board +5.5 and 46.5, respectively. The under looked to be nothing short of a lock through a half of play with the Eagles holding a slim 7-6 advantage and neither of Kirk Cousins or Jalen Hurts getting into any sort of rhythm with their offensive playmakers. However, the game ultimately came down to a 3rd and 3 with fewer than two minutes remaining in the game with Philly holding an 18-15 advantage.

What happened next completely blew my mind! Instead of running the ball to let the clock run if the first down wasn’t attained, Nick Sirianni either called for or approved Kellen Moore’s decision to throw the ball. Hurts let it fly, but the pass slipped through Saquon Barkley’s hands, falling incomplete. Philly kicked a field goal to go up by six, handing things over to the defense—a bad move. In just six plays and a little over a minute, Cousins marched the Falcons down the field, capping the drive with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Drake London. Younghoe Koo nailed the extra point from 48 yards out, thanks to an unsportsmanlike penalty, putting Atlanta ahead by one with 34 seconds left. The Eagles’ attempt to get into field goal range ended quickly when Jessie Bates intercepted a poorly thrown ball. Game over! Side and total cashed at Caesars Sportsbook! Now, onto Week 3 NFL betting action!

Week 2 of the NFL betting season will come to a close under the lights of Monday Night Football from the City of Brotherly Love where the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles will square off in the Linc for the first time since 2018. The 2024-25 campaign got out to an ugly start for new Falcons head coach Raheem Morris after Atlanta dropped its home opener to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and in the process grossly failed to cover the betting line as favorites. It was a different story for Nick Sirianni’s Eagles who got a huge showing from Saquon Barkley in his Philly debut to pull out the win and cover over the Green Bay Packers down in South America. Philadelphia has owned the recent rivalry logging wins and covers in four of the last five meetings dating back to 2016. The series trend has also been of a low scoring nature with each of the last six skirmishes playing to low scorers that only saw an average of 37.7 points hit the board.

The NFL odds for this NFC tilt opened up with the Eagles laying 4-points and the total lined 47.5. Both the side and total have undergone corrections with the most notable move dealing with the NFL spread. Caesars Sportsbook currently has Philadelphia lined as 6.5-point favorites with it being supported by the betting public with upwards of 80% of the bets and nearly 90% of the money. Though the under has proven to be the clamored for side of the O/U as well with it taking in 77% of the tickets and 88% of the handle, it’s only trickled down a half-point to 47.

Reduced juice betting is one of the best ways for any sports bettor to save money and far too many people don’t take advantage of it. If you are not playing at a sportsbook that offers reduced juice betting then you are simply giving away money.

Atlanta Falcons vs. Philadelphia Eagles NFL Same Game Parlay:

The results of the Falcons week 1 home loss to the Steelers weren’t pretty. All the talk about the offense was that Kirk Cousins was an immobile statue in the pocket with Zac Robinson running shotgun and pistol sets on all 50 of Atlanta’s offensive plays. In doing so, the Steelers picked up on the tells and knew exactly when Kirk Cousins was stepping back to pass or handing the ball off to Bijan Robinson or Tyler Allgeier. If this MO were to carry over into week 2, I can see why NFL bettors would be eager to jump on the Eagles minus the points. That being said, I can’t help but think some new wrinkles will be thrown into the mix that allows for Atlanta to run more effective offense against an Eagles defense that allowed a similar Packers offense to move the ball up and down the field with a number of chunk plays thrown into the mix. It certainly didn’t look like it in the opener, but Atlanta has some world class talent in its offensive huddle. After being embarrassed last week, I thoroughly expect the cream to rise to the top and for the Dirty Birds to put forth a much better offensive semblance of themselves.

Having just held the Steelers to 4.1 yards per play and limiting Justin Fields, the excelled scrambler that he is, to just 57 yards on 14 overall carries (4.1 yards per carry), I think Grady Jarrett and Co. will be up to the task of keeping a lid on Jalen Hurts to prevent the Eagles QB1 from running roughshod upon them with his legs. With A.J. Terrell likely to give A.J. Brown the shadow treatment, it will be up to the remaining members of Atlanta’s defense to prevent Saquon Barkley and Devonta Smith from going HAM. With Atlanta likely administering a ball control mentality and bludgeoning Philly’s leaky run D with heavy servings of Robinson and Tyler Allgeier, I’m hopeful the Falcons can keep the time of possession battle even if not dominate it. Provided Atlanta can limit the quick scoring strikes and make the Eagles earn every yard and point accrued, I think they’ll have a puncher’s chance of turning some heads and win the game outright in what I expect plays out to be the low scorer totals bettors are banking on. Let us not overreact to what we just saw the opening week of the season. Atlanta is much better than the box score against the Steelers reads. Let’s see if I’m right!

• ATLANTA FALCONS (+6.5)
• UNDER 47
