Philadelphia Eagles will host the Carolina Panthers in Week 6 of the NFL season. The Eagles are listed as 1.5-point favorites on FanDuel. Despite being heavily favored, the Panthers are actually drawing more respect due to their functional offense. The Eagles, on the other hand, have struggled recently with three straight losses and a poor-performing offense.
Carolina's defense is ranked in the middle of the pack, while the Eagles' offense is undermanned and struggling. The Panthers' defense is more average, while their offense is ranked highly. The Eagles may have some key players returning from injury, but they also had several new absences in their last game. Given the Eagles' recent struggles and the Panthers' rested state, the writer leans towards taking the Panthers +1.5.
