Eagles vs. Broncos: Unbeaten Philadelphia Hosts Run-First Denver in Week 5

Oddsmakers list Philadelphia by about 4.5 points, with Denver's top-five ground game testing the Eagles' vulnerable run defense.

Overview

  • Kickoff from Lincoln Financial Field is 1 p.m. ET on CBS, with streaming on Paramount+.
  • Philadelphia is 4-0 as defending champs but ranks 30th in total offense and is producing the fewest yards per game by a 4-0 team since 1941.
  • Denver enters 2-2 after a 28-3 win, powered by a top-five rushing attack and J.K. Dobbins’ 101-yard game, though the franchise has won in Philadelphia only once (1986).
  • The matchup spotlights a strength-on-weakness tilt on the ground, with the Broncos’ run game targeting an Eagles defense allowing 126 rushing yards per game.
  • Betting markets make Philadelphia a roughly 4.5-point favorite (total about 43.5), and analyses point to red-zone performance as decisive given the Eagles’ 100% conversion rate versus Denver’s league-best 25% allowed.
