Only three NFL teams have a better chance of winning the Super Bowl than the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Fanduel Sportsbook.
On August 8th, just a little over one month ago, Fanduel listed the Eagles at +3000 (30-1) as the 14th most likely team to win the Super Bowl.
Following a wild Week 1 where the Dallas Cowboys lost starting QB Dak Prescott for 4-8 weeks with a thumb injury, the 49ers were upset by the Bears, the Packers were dominated by the Vikings, the Cardinals were embarrassed by the Chiefs, the Rams were blown out by the Bills, and the Eagles beat the Lions 38-35 in Detroit, the market has shifted dramatically and the Eagles' outlook in the NFC looks incredibly favorable.
The only NFC team with shorter Super Bowl odds than the Eagles are the Tampa Bay Bucs, per Fanduel, but the Bucs certainly didn't look all that scary in their 19-3 win over the Cowboys. In that game, Brady threw for just 212 yards and starting WR Chris Godwin suffered a hamstring injury.
