Week 10 was interesting in that Green Bay, Arizona, Miami and Cleveland got closer to their destinations, but Seattle and Tennessee got further away. A lot of the value is sucked out of the markets at this point, but there’s still some value remaining in fading Philly:

Our futures bet after Week 10
Philadelphia Eagles +154 to miss the playoffs
This is the second time we’ve gone to this well this year, but the Eagles have a brutal upcoming schedule and a quarterback who generates a negatively-graded play on almost 20% of his dropbacks in Carson Wentz. His irreducible inaccuracy is going to make it difficult for Philadelphia to compete against the likes of Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers and, possibly, Drew Brees in the coming weeks. Now, a real question remains about which team will knock them off, but with the Eagles having a 46% chance of not winning the division in our simulations, this is a good bet to make.
