Back in the United States following a season-opening win in Brazil, Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles host Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night at Lincoln Financial Field.

Atlanta ushered in the Kirk Cousins Era with a less than inspiring performance overall as the Falcons fell to Pittsburgh 18-10 in front of a packed house at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Cousins looked unsure and even more concerning less than 100% healthy following last season’s torn Achilles.

Philadelphia was part of the NFL’s first venture into South America and the Eagles escaped victorious led by Saquon Barkley’s monster debut with over 120 total yards from scrimmage and 3 TDs. The former Penn State Nittany Lion will undoubtedly be embraced by the Philly faithful when he steps on the field for his home debut Monday night.

Latest Game odds for Falcons vs. Eagles

The latest odds as of Sunday morning courtesy of DraftKings:

Moneyline: Atlanta Falcons (+210), Philadelphia Eagles (-258)

Spread: Eagles -6

Total: 47

The line opened with the Eagles favored by 6 but the Total has dropped from 48.5 to 47 more than likely due to Kirk Cousins getting into the flow with new teammates (is he healthy?) and Philly’s A.J. Brown’s availability being in question.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets

It is difficult to not look at Saquon Barkley markets following his debut for Philadelphia last week

Last week Barkley picked up 109 yards rushing and 23 yards receiving to go with 3 TDs. Lets look at a parlay of Barkley rushing and receiving yards 100+ yards (-105) parlayed with a Saquon Anytime Touchdown (-205). That parlay pays +114. If you want a sweat, take Barkley rushing and receiving at 125+ yards to go with that TD and the odds grow to +255.
