Sport betting online has seen the Philadelphia Eagles have a lot of success under head coach Andy Reid and that may continue since the Eagles signed the coach to a three-year contact extension through 2013. The Eagles are highly respected in sports betting and a Super Bowl contender behind the New Orleans Saints and the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC.
Sport betting online has the Eagles in the NFC East in a very competitive division with the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants. Reid has kept the Eagles in the hunt for many sport betting online seasons. “It was inevitable. There’s no point waiting,” owner Jeffrey Lurie said, “This sends a great message to the players right in the middle of the season. I’ve always valued stability.” Reid has led the Eagles to the playoffs seven times and he has led them to the NFC title game five times. He has only one Super Bowl appearance though and that was a loss. Reid has won 115 games with the Eagles and has a .611 winning percentage. Those are the best sport betting online numbers in Philadelphia history. “I love Philadelphia, the fans have been unbelievable,” Reid said. “They’re fair. If we stink, they let us know. If we’re doing OK, they tell us.”
The problem for Reid and the Eagles has been the failure to win the big game in sport betting online. They have lost four of the NFC title games and they lost their only Super Bowl appearance. “Our No. 1 priority by far is to win a Super Bowl,” Lurie said. “One of the reasons for the contract is the obsession and prioritization of that.” Last year the Eagles were favored in sport betting online to reach the title game but they lost 32-25 to the Arizona Cardinals. Reid has been tied to the hip with quarterback Donovan McNabb and although both have nice winning percentages, they simply haven’t won the big games in sports betting.
Philadelphia is probably now tied to McNabb and Reid for the foreseeable sports betting future though. With the new contract for Reid, it is quite possible the team inks McNabb to a deal as well. Philadelphia plays a key game this sport betting online week against the New York Giants. The Eagles are one-point underdogs in sports betting in their Sunday matchup against the Giants.
