Bookies Suggest the “Tush Push” Be Banned Before Next Season

• The NFL has revealed they’ll be calling the Philadelphia Eagles’ “Tush Push” more closely in the future.
• In the Eagles’ win over Kansas City in Week 2, a false start call was missed by the officiating crew.
• Bookies are favoring the opinion that the “Tush Push” will be banned ahead of the 2026-27 season.

The NFL will start calling the Philadelphia Eagles’ “Tush Push” play more closely as the officiating crew missed a crucial late-game call in their win over Kansas City in Week 2.

Online bookies are now forecasting that the “Tush Push” will be banned by the beginning of the 2026-27 regular season.

“Tush Push” False-Start Calls Being Missed

The NFL announced their intention to call the Eagles’ play “tight” from now on.

The league claims that there was a missed false-start call in the fourth quarter of the Eagles’ 20-17 win over Kansas City in a Super Bowl rematch. It is alleged that the Eagles’ offensive line got an early jump on the play.

Kansas City coach Andy Reid suggested that the Eagles may have gotten away with a couple of calls on the play. Tom Brady also made note of it during the Fox broadcast. But this isn’t the first time that the “Tush Push” has been called into question. Ahead of this season, there was a vote on banning the play, and the ban came up just two votes short.

However, there is definitely going to be another conversation about the “Tush Push”, likely in the offseason. It would be a massive move if the league were to ban it in the middle of this season. 

Could the “Tush Push” Actually Be Banned?

Some football betting sites have props on whether the “Tush Push” will be banned, and it looks like they’re favoring the move to be prohibited. BetUS is favoring “Yes” at -130 on whether the “Tush Push” will be banned before next season, with “No” coming back at -110. Again, the vote to ban the play came up just two votes short in the offseason. You can bet that the “No” camp will be campaigning hard for those two votes!

There had been accusations that the Eagles were getting away with false-start calls before this, but it seems like the evidence is piling up. The onus is on the officials to make the right calls, but it’s a quick play to judge, so banning it might be the easiest method for everyone involved.

There are also people in the other camp that just want the other teams to stop complaining and find a way to stop the “Tush Push”, which is fair. However, if the Eagles are getting away with these non-calls, it’s tougher to defend that statement. The Eagles don’t commit false-start penalties every time they run the play, but there will be even more attention on it now. It wouldn’t be a surprise if they got called for more penalties, even if they hadn’t committed one.

This will be a huge story in the offseason, and fans all over the league will be anxiously awaiting the outcome and the fate of the “Tush Push”!
