NFL Monday Night Football Doubleheader Betting Tips

The first week of the NFL football season is *almost* in the books but there are two more games left as part of the neo-traditional Monday Night doubleheader. The league serves up two games on Monday night for the first week of the season. This year they’ve come up with some potentially entertaining games.
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES AT ATLANTA FALCONS:
The Philadelphia Eagles could be the dominant team of the 2015 season. They scored in bunches in 2014 with only one team (the Seattle Seahawks) able to hold them under 20 points. They ran roughshod through the preseason averaging 38 PPG. If newly acquired quarterback Sam Bradford can stay healthy they could be in the Super Bowl conversation. They’ll open the season at the Georgia Dome against the Atlanta Falcons–a disappointing team a year ago that is hitting the reset button with a new coach (former Seattle defensive mastermind Dan Quinn) but otherwise plenty of the same old faces. They’ve got a solid quarterback in Matt Ryan but the team looked really old and slow at various points last season. Ryan is on a 7-0 SU/ATS run on opening day but he might be up against it here. Sure, the Eagles might be a tad overvalued but we’d much rather have them instead of the Falcons.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS AT SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS:
The Niners had an awful off season and hope that new head coach Jim Tomsula can fill the shoes of Jim Harbaugh. Harbaugh is now the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines and Tomsula has to rebuild. The public hates the Niners all of a sudden and have anointed the Vikings as a ‘team on the rise’. That’s how Minnesota has gone from a short dog to a short favorite in this matchup. Minnesota is definitely heading in the right direction but not quite ready to lay points on the road with a team that has only won two road games total in the past two seasons. The Niners aren’t as bad off as the public seems to think and, besides, never a bad idea to go against the conventional wisdom.
