With the Philadelphia Eagles sitting at 3-0 with an NFL-best +65 point differential, gambling websites have taken notice and have shortened the odds for the Birds to win the Super Bowl. According to Canadian-based Bovada.lv, the Eagles are now the 10th-most likely team to win it all:
| Team | Odds | Team | Odds |
| Patriots | +375 | Raiders | +4000 |
| Packers | +800 | Falcons | +4000 |
| Steelers | +900 | Jets | +6600 |
| Seahawks | +1000 | Rams | +6600 |
| Broncos | +1200 | Redskins | +7500 |
| Vikings | +1200 | Bills | +7500 |
| Cardinals | +1400 | Chargers | +10000 |
| Panthers | +1400 | Lions | +10000 |
| Chiefs | +2000 | Buccaneers | +10000 |
| Eagles | +2200 | Dolphins | +20000 |
| Ravens | +2500 | Saints | +20000 |
| Cowboys | +2500 | Jaguars | +20000 |
| Bengals | +2500 | 49ers | +25000 |
| Giants | +3300 | Titans | +25000 |
| Texans | +3300 | Bears | +50000 |
| Colts | +3300 | Browns | +100000 |
In the NFC, there are five teams with shorter odds than the Eagles (and one team with the same odds) to get to the Super Bowl:
| Team | Odds | Team | Odds |
| Packers | +400 | Falcons | +2000 |
| Cardinals | +500 | Rams | +3300 |
| Seahawks | +500 | Redskins | +3300 |
| Panthers | +600 | Lions | +5000 |
| Vikings | +650 | Buccaneers | +5000 |
| Eagles | +1200 | Saints | +10000 |
| Cowboys | +1200 | 49ers | +12500 |
| Giants | +1400 | Bears | +20000 |
As for the NFC East, the Eagles narrowly have shorter odds than the Giants and Cowboys, with the Redskins trailing far behind:
| Team | Odds |
| Eagles | +200 |
| Giants | +220 |
| Cowboys | +220 |
| Redskins | +600 |
As for individual player odds, rookie quarterback Carson Wentz is now listed among the MVP candidates. In fact, there are only 12 players with shorter MVP odds (including 8 QBs), and he has the same odds as Saints quarterback great Drew Brees.
| Player | Team | Odds |
| Aaron Rodgers | Packers | +450 |
| Ben Roethlisberger | Steelers | +600 |
| Cam Newton | Panthers | +600 |
| Russell Wilson | Seahawks | +1000 |
| Andrew Luck | Colts | +1200 |
| Tom Brady | Patriots | +1600 |
| Von Miller | Broncos | +1600 |
| Antonio Brown | Steelers | +2000 |
| A.J. Green | Bengals | +2000 |
| Matt Ryan | Falcons | +2000 |
| David Johnson | Cardinals | +2500 |
| Sam Bradford | Vikings | +2500 |
| Drew Brees | Saints | +3300 |
| Eli Manning | Giants | +3300 |
| Carson Wentz | Eagles | +3300 |
| Andy Dalton | Bengals | +5000 |
| Carson Palmer | Cardinals | +5000 |
| Jameis Winston | Buccaneers | +5000 |
| Trevor Siemian | Broncos | +5000 |
| Derek Carr | Raiders | +5000 |
| Ezekiel Elliott | Cowboys | +5000 |
| Matthew Stafford | Lions | +5000 |
| Philip Rivers | Chargers | +5000 |
| LeVeon Bell | Steelers | +5000 |
| Brock Osweiler | Texans | +10000 |
| Alex Smith | Chiefs | +10000 |
| Julio Jones | Falcons | +10000 |
| Joe Flacco | Ravens | +10000 |
And finally, obviously Wentz is the favorite to win Offensive Rookie of the Year honors, although somehow Bovada has him tied with Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott:
| Player | Team | Odds |
| Carson Wentz | Eagles | +175 |
| Ezekiel Elliott | Cowboys | +175 |
| Dak Prescott | Cowboys | +500 |
| Sterling Sheppard | Giants | +700 |
| Will Fuller | Texans | +1000 |
| Derrick Henry | Titans | +2000 |
Yesterday, Wentz was named NFC Offensive Rookie of the Month for September, and Fletcher Cox was named NFC Defensive player of the Month. Anyone see all this coming?
