If you are going to hedge, make sure to at least get your Original bet back X 2.

Remember you picked the Eagles -7 for a reason.

Hey BigPod.  I had the same dilema last year on a 6-team parlay.  I hit 5 teams and had one left for the night game.  A friend of mine told me to hedge the opposite team if i want to play it safe and have some guaranteed money.  I was greedy and waited until halftime to hedge it.  I got very lucky and won both bets!  I DON'T recommend doing what i did though.  In your case, you need to ask yourself if you would be happy winning about $125.  If yes, then hedge it with Washington -8.5 or -9 (if you can find that line) for about $150.  Who know, you might get a tie on Philly and still win most of the parlay and also win the hedge.  Remember though, yoy only put out $25.  I hope that helps a little bit.   Goo Luck my friend!
