The New England Patriots are a wounded team right now, in the physical sense, in that they could be missing a lot of offensive weapons. The Philadelphia Eagles are wounded in the psychological and emotional sense, because a promising season is quickly going down the tubes. These teams will meet up on Sunday afternoon at 4:25 PM ET at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA. Even after the opening kickoff, Vietbet customers will enjoy the opportunity to test their skills against the NFL odds in real time as they wager on the game in progress through the state-of-the-art software provided by Live Betting Extra.
Eagles vs Patriots – Vietbet NFL BETTING LINE:
In the NFL odds posted on this game by the people at Vietbet, the Patriots are the solid favorites:
- New England Patriots -9.5
- Philadelphia Eagles +9.5
- Over 49 points -110
- Under 49 points -110
New England, of course, won its first 10 games of the season, then suffered their first loss last week, as the Denver Broncos came from behind to beat them 30-24 in overtime. In the process, the Patriots also lost their key offensive weapon, as tight end Rob Gronkowski suffered a knee bruise. He’ll quite possibly sit this game out, and hopefully be ready in a week or two. Then again, he may wind up dressing and playing, and the same is possible with wide receiver Danny Amendola. However, if the Pats are without both of those players, Tom Brady is going to have to really improvise to find some viable targets. Scott Chandler, another tight end on the roster, would be a pretty good candidate to step up.

The Patriots played last Sunday night, and they disappointed in the respect that they got almost nothing going on the ground, with 39 net rushing yards. Of course, they were playing the team that might have the best defense in the National Football League. The Eagles aren’t nearly as tough, allowing 5.7 yards per play.
And the offense has sputtered for Philadelphia, especially on this three-game losing streak, in which they have scored just 50 points. This situation, with a huge 45-14 loss to Detroit on Turkey Day, has deteriorated quickly for third-year coach Chip Kelly, who was recently rumored to be going back to the college ranks. USC was a projected destination, until Clay Helton signed a five-year deal with the Trojans.
No team in the NFL has made their possessions count more than the Patriots have, as they are #1 in points scored per drive. Philadelphia is 27th in that category. One thing Vietbet patrons have to keep in mind is that the Eagles are the fastest team in the league at getting plays off, doing so every 22.18 seconds. Since New England is known as a team that likes to step up the tempo every once in a while, that is certainly a consideration when it comes to the total.

Football bettors are aware of word out of the Eagles’ camp, which is that quarterback Sam Bradford, who has been dealing with a sprained left shoulder, has been practicing and is likely to play. Bradford, who has been slowed with knee injuries much of the last two seasons, has not been a smashing success in Philadelphia, with just an 11-10 touchdown-to-interception ratio, but Mark Sanchez was agonizing. The Eagles may play fast, but they convert only 34% of their third downs, and if they can’t move the chains, that puts a lot of pressure on the defense, which has had to be out there for 35 minutes per game. Remember that New England does not mind chewing up clock, even with a passing attack, as Brady is a master in throwing the short routes.
Vietbet customers have it real good, as they can get reduced juice wagering so that they can attack the NFL odds with lower prices to lay. And they can stay in the action throughout the entire day, with in-game thrills provided by Live Betting Extra!
