Current Standings

The Rundown

The NFL season is heating up, and the spotlight this Thursday night is squarely on the Philadelphia Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings, both eager to assert their dominance early on.

The Eagles are riding high after their narrow victory over the New England Patriots, starting their march to the Super Bowl on a solid note. However, the limited offensive output in their first game showcased clear areas for improvement; enhancing their running game topping the list. All eyes are on Jalen Hurts and his crew to bring it.

On the other side, the Vikings are looking to rebound from a tough loss to Tampa Bay. Despite Kirk Cousins' impressive passing yards, turnovers were their downfall, particularly a red zone interception that shifted the game's momentum. A bolstered ground attack is the key for them to unlock a more favorable outcome this time.

Both teams face substantial pressure, with defenses preparing to counter formidable offenses. The Eagles have a challenge in containing the dynamic Cousins-Jefferson duo, especially with potential gaps in their defense line due to injuries and ongoing protocols.

Both teams are aware that the ground game could dictate the outcome. With Cousins aiming to ditch his prime-time woes, and the Vikings looking to flip the script on their previous Philadelphia visits, this one promises to keep fans on the edge of their seats.

Notes From Week 1

Jets’ playoff hopes

Despite losing star player Aaron Rodgers for the season, the New York Jets are holding onto playoff hopes, largely buoyed by their robust defense. Even though their playoff odds have dipped by about 15%, they still have a fighting chance, with projections indicating around 8.1 wins this season. Interestingly, acquiring a seasoned quarterback like Jacoby Brissett could potentially boost their playoff chances to nearly 45% with a projected win tally of 8.6.

Jumping to the front

The Miami Dolphins emerged as the team with the most significant advancement post-Week 1, enjoying a nearly 20% surge in their playoff odds following a thrilling victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. This head-to-head triumph might prove to be a golden ticket as the season progresses, given the Chargers' balanced playoff potential.

Who is your Super Bowl pick?

In the race for Super Bowl supremacy, the Philadelphia Eagles have edged past the Kansas City Chiefs to become the new favorites, albeit by a narrow margin. Following the Chiefs' recent home loss to the Lions - where they missed the services of Chris Jones and Travis Kelce - the Eagles have nudged ahead with a 14.4% chance of clinching the title, compared to the Chiefs' 14.2%.

As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on the evolving dynamics and shifting odds in what promises to be an electrifying journey to the playoffs and the ultimate championship showdown. We’ll keep you posted.
