Why the Eagles can cover

The Eagles' offense is one of the best units in the league. They have a variety of pass receivers who can create positive plays and move the chains. Receiver DeVonta Smith is a smart route runner. He is known in Philly as “Mr. Reliable” because of his sure hands and ability to step up in key moments. In Week 1, the Alabama product had seven catches for 84 yards. In his career with the Eagles, Smith has 247 receptions for 3,262 receiving yards and 19 touchdowns.

Tight end Dallas Goedert is another safety for the Eagles. Goedert uses his size to block defenders, but also as a blocker. In seven NFL seasons, the 29-year-old made 311 catches for 3,620 receiving yards and 22 touchdowns. See who to bet on at SportsLine.

Why the Falcons can cover

The Falcons had a strong pass defense last season, ranking eighth in passing yards allowed (202.9). Cornerback AJ Terrell is a big, athletic playmaker who thrives in man coverage. Terrell has good ball skills to be disruptive. Last season, the Clemson product totaled 45 tackles, 11 pass breakups and finished with a 74.6 coverage grade, according to PFF.

Safety Jessie Bates III is an agile and fluid playmaker who has a feel for being close to the ball. Last season with the Falcons, the 27-year-old set career highs in tackles (132), pass defenses (11) and interceptions (6). Safety Justin Simmons is another ball-hunter for the Falcons. Simmons has strong range and top-notch play-reading skills. He has amassed 65 pass defenses and 30 interceptions in his career. See who to back at SportsLine.
