2022 Eagles 10-10 Against the Spread. 2023 Eagles 6-2-2 (so far). Does that mean a team is potentially being underestimated? in c/nfl@nfl.community

The fact they defeated Washington - the team that ended their 8-0 start in 2022 - twice this year (in spite of Howell torching their secondary)

and defeating KC IN KC...

with significantly more injuries...

Makes me think THIS year's version MIGHT be a better team. But of course, the season isnt over yet

So then they should NOT be 6-2-2 ATS???

What comes to mind THIS year compared to 2022...

is we managed to win both againt Wash (last year they stopped our 8 game streak)

AND going into KC and managing to win by 4 (we were several point underdogs)...

So maybe this years team is a bit better, regardless of point spreads...

Clarifying This question could apply to any winning team

The idea was about a team that was significantly better than even ATS

I came across these ATS stats for the Eagles today, but I couldnt find much research on this as a question. Thought I would put it out there as a topic question

Any research on this generally qould be appreciated

“Against the spread” refers to betting on a team to perform better than the point spread set by the sportsbook. They must either win by a margin greater than the spread (for favorites) or lose by fewer points than the spread (for underdogs) for the bet to be successful.

Quote from NY Post Point spreads are supposed to be the great equalizer. History has shown that the eventual champions are often underestimated by the composite sum of market influences, even when they’re media-friendly, high-profile programs. Consistently clearing high expectations is a sign of greatness.

I am glad you got Russell Wilson and the Eagles did not...
