Week 2 concludes with the NFC East-favored Philadelphia Eagles (-240) taking on the NFC South-favored Atlanta Falcons (+200) on “Monday Night Football” at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN/ESPN2.

Philadelphia just won 34-29 over the Green Bay Packers in the NFL game against Sao Paulo. In this game, running back Saquon Barkley reached the end zone three times in his first game for the Eagles.

The Falcons will be looking to rebound from a flat offensive performance in Week 1, which saw them manage just 226 total yards in an 18-10 loss at home to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Kirk Cousins ​​finished 16-for-26 for 155 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs in his Falcons debut, and Bijan Robinson was limited to 68 rushing yards on 18 carries.

The Eagles enter the season as 5.5-point favorites and are currently 2-0, while the Falcons are looking to avoid back-to-back losses to start the season.

Favorite Choices

Eagles -5.5 (-110): While I generally advise against overreacting to Week 1, I think in the Falcons’ case, the alarm bells are valid. Kirk Cousins ​​looked like a shadow of his former self against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and that’s not going to go away in eight short days.

Atlanta’s defense was on the field a lot of plays and physically worn down by the Steelers’ rushing attack — and now has to deal with a better offensive line and a better running back in Saquon Barkley. Jalen Hurts isn’t the runner Justin Fields is, but he’ll be a real threat through the air that the Falcons will have to respect.

I expect Atlanta to improve its offense, but only slightly — and not nearly as much as it needs to to keep pace with this explosive Eagles team. — Ben Solak

Kyle Pitts OVER 3.5 receptions (-130): The Eagles have struggled with receiving tight ends in recent years, given their preference for fielding sub-average linebacker groups. That sentiment should continue this season, as neither the undersized Nakobe Dean nor converted edge rusher Zack Baun have the coverage chops to deal with Pitts.

Pitts runs most of his routes from the slot, where Green Packers WR Jayden Reed celebrated in Brazil in Week 1, and where another small defender in nickelback Avonte Maddox could get some coverage reps against him. If we get the expected passing game script for the Falcons, I think Pitts will celebrate in garbage time. — Sun

Jalen Hurts UNDER 39.5 rushing yards (-110): I did this in Week 1 and I’ll be doing it again in Week 2. Hurts just isn’t ripping explosive plays in the run game anymore. The Eagles are using him as a battering ram on the tush push and as a downhill runner on QB draws. He doesn’t get to the line easily at NFL speed and he’s sliding much earlier and more often than he did in 2022. We know he’s only good for about nine carries and we know two or three of those will be tush pushes. I’m not convinced he’s explosive enough on the remaining six or seven to make that grade. — Sun
