NFL futures: Two Philadelphia Eagles bets to make
By Griffin Carroll,

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (1) hands off to running back Saquon Barkley (26).
We're going through all the available futures offered to us for each NFL team and picking out two of our favorites.
Maybe it's a player prop future, maybe it's built on the team itself. Either way, we're finding two bets for all 32 teams. Today's target: the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles faltered big time down the stretch last season, but we're still a believe in this team. New coordinators on both ends should ignite the units that felt stale all season long, and the team is absolutely loaded.
Offensively there's an argument this is the best unit in football, with Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert and one of the league's best offensive lines.
On the defensive side, the secondary is vastly improved, and the team really needs some of their young defensive linemen (Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, Nolan Smith) to take a leap. If they do, expect the Eagles to be one of the last teams standing.
Saquon Barkley to win Offensive Player of the Year (+1600 DraftKings )
Early reports out of Philadelphia's training camp are that Saquon Barkley is being used as a serious weapon in the passing game, catching more passes than anyone else.
That type of workload could go a long way to being in the running for OPOY by season's end. Barkley is in the best situation of his career and should pile up the yards, the x-factor here will be how many touchdowns Jalen Hurts steals at the goal line.
After some injuries hampered Hurts's effectiveness towards the tail end of last season, it wouldn't be a surprise to see his red zone usage dip a bit, opening the door for Barkley to pour in scores.
