How did this happen? Really, how?
How did a Philadelphia Eagles season that reached 10-1 after a 37-34 overtime home victory over the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 28 implode, with the team losing six of their last seven games, concluding with an uninspiring and lethargic 32-9 road loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Monday’s Wild-Card Playoff round? Eagles fans, especially those invested in Pennsylvania sports betting, couldn’t believe their eyes.
As recently as Dec. 1 Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts led NFL MVP odds at BetMGM Sportsbook PA.
Billed and hyped up as the showdown of the season with a possible rematch in the NFC Championship, the downfall started after a 42-19 home loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Dec. 3. A game that started with a 6-0 Eagles lead after the first quarter.
Going from a Super Bowl finalist a season ago to an epic collapse that has sports talk show phone lines ringing from a ionate fanbase to show their disappointment, PennStakes.com posted probable odds on whether head coach Nick Sirianni is fired. Here are the results:
Will Nick Sirianni Be Fired?
These odds are hypothetical from PennStakes.com and will not be on any PA sports betting apps.
Odds Lean Toward Sirianni Staying
A surprising NO was the decisive answer at -250 (71.4% chance). YES, Sirianni should be let go, came in at +250 (28.6%).
Sirianni has led Philadelphia to three consecutive postseason berths (losing twice to Tampa Bay in the NFC Wild Card Game). His overall regular season record is 34-17 (.667), including a 25-9 record in his last two season. His postseason ledger is a mere 2-3 (.400).
The question is: Will Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie make the move and start over, or will the flower be watered once again for another bloom">PA casino bonuses on PennStakes.com.
