There hasn't been an NFL underdog like this in 53 years

Casual bettors might have been shocked to see the point spread for the San Francisco 49ers-Philadelphia Eagles showdown.

A 10-1 Eagles team, at home, relatively healthy, is an underdog. And the line has continued to move San Francisco's way. The 49ers are a full 3-point favorite at BetMGM.

If that sounds really rare, it is. The Eagles are the first team that's 10-1 or better that has a healthy, active quarterback to be a home underdog since at least 1970, according to CBS Sports. There are instances of great teams being underdogs in a season finale as they rest starters. But not this situation.

NFL’s Christmas Day triple-header draws massive viewership numbers in first major jump into the holiday
The Chiefs-Raiders game on Christmas was the most-watched game on the holiday in 34 years

The NFL’s decision to take over Christmas Day seems to have paid off.

The NFL’s Christmas Day games drew massive ratings Monday, the networks announced. The Las Vegas Raiders’ upset win over the Kansas City Chiefs to open the three-game slate drew an average audience of more than 29 million viewers on CBS — which made it the most-watched Christmas Day game in 34 years.

Then the night game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens was the second-most-watched “Monday Night Football” game in the last 27 years. More than 27 million people tuned in on ESPN and ABC to watch the Ravens beat the 49ers, which trailed only the Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles matchup on “Monday Night Football” earlier this season.

Fox has yet to release its viewership numbers from Monday’s afternoon game between the Eagles and the New York Giants.
