How should you bet?

With the recent Supreme Court ruling nixing a federal ban on sports gambling, the doors have opened for fans to place legal bets from the comfort of their couch.

Thanks to our partners at OddsShark we have the latest betting lines for Thursday night’s game in Philadelphia, which has moved slightly in recent hours.

Odds

Line: Philadelphia (-2)

Over/Under: 45

Philadelphia was a 2.5-point favorite on Tuesday, but the news that Nick Foles will start likely pushed the line in favor of the Falcons. Philadelphia gets the home-team advantage here with this line in what’s expected to be a high-scoring affair.

The Eagles finished last year third in points scored while the Falcons finished eighth with their own high-flying offense.

Atlanta, somehow, got better on offense, at least on paper, adding Ridley to an already fantastic group. Julio Jones obviously leads the group with Mohamed Sanu and tight Austin Hooper also returning.

Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman also return as one of the top running back duos in the league. Rookie Ito Smith rounds out of the running back room after posting three-consecutive 1,000 yard seasons at Southern Miss.

Philadelphia’s receiving corp will feature veteran Mike Wallace and Nelson Agholor at wide receiver and Zach Ertz at tight end.
