On Philadelphia Eagles futures:
Right now the most popular futures bet is on the Eagles to win the Super Bowl. They were 30/1 2 months ago and are bet down to 20/1.
“I think it’s very inflated. I don’t think they are a Super Bowl contender like Rams right now but the public here thinks otherwise.”
The biggest liability as of Sept.9 at FanDuel at Live! Philadelphia is on the Chargers (14/1). If the Chargers win the 2023 Super Bowl, a guest can cash a $50,000 ticket.
