Chiefs vs Eagles Betting Pick
This game will be played at Lincoln Financial Field at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, October 3, 2021.
Why Bet The Eagles:
✅ Philadelphia has been struggling this season, but the Chiefs defense has been among the worst in the league this season. Their 7.0 yards per play allowed this year ranks last in the NFL, and the Eagles are likely to move the ball more effectively than they have so far this year despite their early-season issues.
✅ The Eagles have played well on defense with the exception of their Week 3 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. In their lone home game this season, they held the San Francisco 49ers in check, holding them under 20 points. It is never easy to hold Patrick Mahomes and company in check, but the Eagles will do a decent job here.

✅ While Jalen Hurts hasn’t been great this year, Patrick Mahomes hasn’t been at his best either. Hurts is only averaging a half yard per pass attempt less than Mahomes, who has been susceptible to turnovers in the early portion of the season thanks to his aggressive style of play.
Kansas City Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs have lost two straight games, following up their Week 1 win over the Browns with losses to the Ravens and Chargers. Kansas City has been terrible on defense this season, which has allowed their opponents to be in every game against them thus far. Even with the Chiefs being a threat every time they possess the ball, their defensive issues give their opponents a chance to beat them every week.
So far, the Chiefs are 0-3 against the spread this season, making them one of four teams to fail to win a game against the spread in the 2021 campaign. Washington, Jacksonville and the Jets are the other three teams that have failed to get a victory against the spread, putting the Chiefs in less than ideal company so far. And if their defense doesn’t get better, the Chiefs will continue to struggle to cover the spread in this Chiefs vs Eagles matchup.
Philadelphia Eagles
After getting a win against the Falcons in their season opener, the Philadelphia Eagles have lost to elite NFC teams in back-to-back weeks. They lost at home to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2, and were demolished on Monday Night Football by the Dallas Cowboys in their most recent outing. This week, they will hope that a date with the Chiefs defense will help the Eagles’ offense get off the ground again.
Over the last two games the Eagles have averaged 16 points per game, struggling to put points on the board against contenders in their conference. Jalen Hurts hasn’t been as bad as he looked against the Cowboys over the course of the entire season. But the Eagles will need him to bounce back from a couple of rough weeks if the Eagles are going to have a chance to get back into the win column.
