The Falcons/Eagles game total has come down over two points from the opening line. Which way is the public betting the over/under now? Sascha Paruk runs through all the MNF betting splits for Week 2.
- The NFL public-betting splits for Monday Night Football show the public hammering the Eagles moneyline
- The public also likes the under (45.5) in Falcons vs Eagles
- Below, see the Atlanta Falcons vs Philadelphia Eagles public-betting splits and money percentages for MNF
The second week of action in the NFL comes to a close tonight as the Atlanta Falcons (0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS) battle the Philadelphia Eagles (1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS) on Monday Night Football at 8:15 pm ET. The Eagles opened as 5.5-point favorites and are as high as -6 at some books as of Monday morning. The game total, meanwhile, has plummeted from 48.5 all the way to 46 or even 45.5, depending on the sportsbook.
Yet, even with the smaller total, the public is still backing the under in the Falcons vs Eagles public-betting splits.

Public Still Likes the Under in ATL vs PHI Betting Splits
Money poured in early and often on the under back when it opened at 48.5 last Sunday night. Seven-plus days later, the total has come down 2.5 points to 46.0 (and a full three points at some sportsbooks, like FanDuel).
Yet, even with the total at 46.0, the public is still backing the under pretty heavily. As of noon on Monday, under 46.0 had garnered 62% of game-total handle on just 57% of the wagers (meaning the under is also getting comparatively bigger bets).
The Eagles were involved in the highest-scoring game in all of Week 1, a 34-29 victory over Green Bay, which flew over the total of 49.5 by 13.5 points. The Falcons, on the other hand, were involved in second-lowest-scoring game of Week 1, an 18-10 setback to Pittsburgh. (Only New England’s 16-10 upset of Cincinnati featured fewer points.)
While the public likes the under, I have included over 46.5 in my Falcons vs Eagles same-game parlay for tonight.

Falcons vs Eagles Betting Splits Hammering Eagles Moneyline
While the public likes the under, they are absolutely enamored with the Eagles moneyline. Up over 90% for the majority of the week, Philadelphia was still getting 96% of moneyline handle as -250 home favorites as of midday Monday. Shockingly, that’s only the third-highest moneyline split for Week 2: the Chargers received 98% of handle as -220 road favorites at the Panthers (a game they dominated 26-3) while the Ravens received 96% of handle as -481 home favorites against the Raiders (a game they lost 26-23).
The public is also backing the Eagles against the spread as 5.5-point home chalk. While the number of ATS tickets is almost evenly split between the teams (51/49% in Atlanta’s favor), Philadelphia is getting 66% of ATS handle.
The Eagles backers include SBD’s Chris Amberley, who backed Philadelphia -6 in his Falcons vs Eagles prediction.
Atlanta was the second-worst ATS bet in the entire league last year, going just 5-12 against the spread during a disappointing 7-10 campaign.

The Atlanta Falcons will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles in a highly anticipated Monday Night Football matchup in Week 2 of the NFL season. As fans and bettors gear up for the game, many are turning to public betting splits and money percentages to help inform their decisions on where to place their bets.
Public betting splits refer to the percentage of bets placed on each team, while money percentages indicate the percentage of total money wagered on each team. These metrics can provide valuable insights into where the public is placing their money and which team is receiving the most support from bettors.
In the case of the Falcons vs Eagles game, the public betting splits and money percentages may reveal interesting trends. For example, if the Falcons are receiving a higher percentage of bets but the Eagles are getting a larger share of the total money wagered, it could indicate that sharp bettors are backing Philadelphia despite the public favoring Atlanta.
Additionally, analyzing public betting splits and money percentages can help bettors identify potential value plays. If a team is receiving a high percentage of bets but a lower percentage of money wagered, it could suggest that there is sharp action on the opposing team, creating an opportunity for bettors to capitalize on inflated odds.
It’s important to note that public betting splits and money percentages are just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to making informed betting decisions. Factors such as injuries, weather conditions, and recent performance should also be taken into consideration when placing bets.
As the Falcons and Eagles prepare to square off on Monday night, bettors will be keeping a close eye on public betting splits and money percentages to help guide their wagering decisions. By analyzing these metrics alongside other key factors, bettors can make more informed choices and potentially increase their chances of success.
