The NFL released all schedules on Wednesday, and the Philadelphia Eagles can now plan to defend their championship this fall. Now, there is a target on their backs, and every team is coming for them. How will the Eagles do this season? The Eagles have a brutal schedule, but are still the favorites, according to FanDuel. We break down every single game and give our predictions.
The Eagles will play the Cowboys in Week 1, and it could not be a more fitting opponent. Last season, the Eagles blew out the Cowboys 41-7 at Lincoln Financial Field. While this game will be slightly closer, the Eagles still find a way to beat their divisional rivals.
WIN
This will be a Super Bowl LIX rematch, and the Eagles hope to beat the Chiefs again. Amazingly, they pressured Patrick Mahomes all day long in the Super Bowl, and it will happen again, as the Chiefs are sluggish to start things off.
WIN
The Eagles defeated the Rams in the NFC Divisional Round, with the cold weather affecting them. Ultimately, the Eagles are still the better team, and their defense will be too much for the Rams’ offensive line.
WIN
The Eagles finally take a loss, and it happens in South Florida. The weather might play a factor, especially if it is still hot in early October. Baker Mayfield evades the pressure and hands the Eagles their first loss.
LOSS
The Broncos are a better team and will be a playoff contender. So far, I am torn between this game, but I will give the Eagles the edge at home, with Jalen Hurts doing just enough to carry the Birds to victory.
WIN
While a short week to travel is always difficult, this might be a different story as Saquon Barkley and the Eagles destroyed the Giants last season. Things won’t be much different this season, as Barkley runs all over his former team again at the Meadowlands.
WIN
It will be much more challenging in Minneapolis. While the Vikings will have an untested quarterback going this season, they also have a solid running game and defense. The Vikings will defeat the Eagles this week.
LOSS
The Eagles will face the Giants for the second time in three weeks and will have no issues handling them. Significantly, the Eagles complete the season sweep, assuming that Hurts and Barkley are on their game.
WIN
The Eagles won a nail-biter against the Packers in Brazil last season. This time, the action heads to Lambeau, and the Eagles will find it more...
