The Dallas Cowboys opened as the favorite to win the NFC East at +100, with the Eagles right behind them at +160. Saquon’s reported signing has already shifted those odds, with the Eagles shortening to +140 while Dallas lengthened to +130.
Immediately after the Super Bowl, the Eagles were tied with the Cowboys for the third-lowest odds to win the NFC at +800. After Barkley’s change of scenery, the Eagles are tied with the Cowboys at +750.
The most drastic shift for Philadelphia after the Barkley trade news broke was its Super Bowl odds. The franchise’s odds to hoist the Lombardi Trophy in 2025 went to +1800 from +2000.
