MNF brings a clash between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Atlanta Falcons. The Eagles are coming off a win in Brazil, while the Falcons are trying to recover from a lackluster season opener. With so much on the line, sports bettors alike are gearing up for what we think could be an intense game. After all, it’s Monday Night Football and that’s what we’ve come to expect.
But beyond the matchup itself, it’s an excellent opportunity to see who’s dropping the best betting odds and bonus offers for MNF. With sportsbooks offering some smashing good deals, you can make the most of your bets.
Moneyline: Atlanta Falcons (+210), Philadelphia Eagles (-258)
Spread: Eagles -6
Total: 47
DraftKings has set the Eagles as 6-point favorites for their home opener at Lincoln Financial Field.
The moneyline stands at -258 for Philadelphia and +210 for Atlanta, which we think is pretty spot on given both of their opening weekend performances.
The over/under has dropped slightly from 48.5 to 47 since the opener, likely due to injury concerns for both teams. Both sides have some injuries to their offensive sides of the ball. The question of Kirk Cousins’ health and A.J. Brown listed as OUT due to his hamstring are weighing heavily on the minds of oddsmakers.
For bettors like us, this means there are a few angles worth considering.
Philadelphia is a heavy favorite, which may make the spread worth a look. The Eagles have covered the spread so far this season, albeit it’s only a single game, and with Cousins looking shaky in his debut for Atlanta, Philadelphia could pull away early.
On the other hand, with the total dropping, the under could be tempting for those expecting a more conservative game, especially with Cousins still finding his footing after last year's Achilles injury.

Betting on MNF is a lot more fun when you can take advantage of bonus offers. Some of the top sportsbooks are rolling out deals for new users that can make your Monday night bets a little sweeter.

This is a great deal for bettors looking to jump in with a little pocket change.
You only need to bet $5 to unlock $250 in DraftKings bonus bets, which you can use across their huge selection of markets, including moneyline, spread, and prop bets.
For this matchup, we would look to use the bonus bets to back Saquon Barkley’s prop markets. These have drawn a lot of attention after his explosive debut last week and against the Falcons, we don’t see him slowing down. Barkley to go over 100 total yards and score a touchdown offers a nice return, and using bonus bets here allows you to play without dipping into your own pockets. Though, we’d love that SGP all day long.

Bet365 has one of the best offers we’ve seen in a long time as they give you two really nice options — either get $200 in bonus bets for just a $5 bet (a lot like that DraftKings bonus offer), or a "safety net" on your first bet, meaning if it loses, you’ll get your stake back up to $1,000.
If you’re feeling confident in the Eagles covering the spread, the first option is great because you can put down just a simple $5 bet and still come away with $200 in bonus bets to use on future games or props.
On the other hand, the safety net offer allows you to bet more aggressively. Maybe you want to take a chance on a big prop parlay like Barkley’s 125+ rushing and receiving yards and a touchdown, which pays out at +255. If it hits, great, but if it doesn’t, you’ll get your bet back. To take full advantage of this offer you need to have some deeper pockets to begin with.
Both are great and both are perfect for this MNF matchup.

BetMGM is giving new customers a massive welcome offer, letting them bet up to $1,500 on their first bet and covering it if it goes bust.
If your bet loses, you’ll be credited with bonus bets equal to your stake just like Bet365’s safety net option.
This deal is perfect for those wanting to bet big on a favorite like Philadelphia and willing to go the distance.
If you think the Eagles can handle the Falcons easily, you could bet confidently knowing you’ll get a do-over if it doesn’t pan out. Just a word of caution, though. Several underdogs came out on top in Week 2. It’s been a bizarre weekend so it goes to show that anything can happen.
It’s also a good opportunity to explore player props. Take a look at Jalen Hurts throwing for over 275 yards or Barkley’s anytime touchdown. If you’re placing larger bets, having the safety net can ease some of the risks.
Each of these offers provides a unique opportunity to boost your potential winnings while minimizing your risk at the same time.
Here’s how you can use these offers on some of the best betting options for Monday night:
DraftKings. Use your $250 in bonus bets to play multiple markets. Start with the Eagles’ spread at -6, which seems like a solid bet considering Atlanta’s struggles in Week 1. Then, place a smaller bet on the over/under. If you’re like us and expect Cousins to continue struggling and the Eagles’ defense to step up, the under-47 looks appealing. After that, you can spread the remaining bonus across player props like Hurts’ passing yards or Barkley’s rushing total.
Bet365. With their $5 for $200 deal, you can go in with a smaller initial investment. Place your first $5 on the Eagles’ moneyline, which is a safer bet at -258, and use the bonus money to explore riskier props. Parlay bets on Saquon Barkley are worth a look. For example, combining 100+ rushing and receiving yards with an anytime touchdown could boost your winnings significantly. The flexibility of bonus bets allows you to get creative without putting much of your own cash on the line.
BetMGM. This $1,500 first-bet offer is the one to go for if you’re ready to bet big. Place a big bet on the Eagles covering the spread or on a Barkley prop combo. A big payout on Barkley’s performance might be a risk worth taking if you think he’s going to go the distance. If he repeats his explosive debut, you’re looking at a massive profit. And if the bet doesn’t go your way, you’ll get your money back in free bets to try again next week.
There’s no shortage of options on this MNF matchup. Of course, we like the Eagles and the under in this game, but you might see things differently. That’s the best part of these bonus offers you can use them however you want and minimize your risk..
Monday Night Football between the Falcons and Eagles is shaping up to be an exciting contest. We don’t think it’ll be the biggest game of the week, but with plenty of betting options to keep fans engaged it’s definitely worth checking out.
Philadelphia has the upper hand with home-field advantage and a roster that looks more in sync. The odds favor them, of course, but looking at both teams holistically, we think it’ll be a slower-paced game.
