4 Road Favorites in Prior 7 Years – 5 this Year!

Las Vegas, Nevada (January 11, 2009) – The Philadelphia Eagles opened up as 3-point road favorites at Arizona. This game marks the 5th time this playoff season the road team has been favored.

According to RJ Bell of Pregame.com: In the prior seven seasons (dating back to 2001) only 4 road teams had been favored in NFL playoff games.

RJ Bell of Pregame.com said: “The prevalence of road favorites speaks loudly to the confidence Vegas has in judging the quality of teams more accurately than the NFL’s seeding system.”

Of the 8 favored road teams since 2001, 6 have won the game.
