The New York Giants are still reeling after a 3-14 season while their most hated rival, the Philadelphia Eagles, revel in their dominant Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
As Super Bowl champions, the Eagles will play the host for the 2025 regular season opener on Thursday Night Football in Week 1.
Their opponent could be any of the eight teams on the Eagles’ home schedule, one of which is the New York Giants.
The Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles will open the 2025 NFL season at home on Thursday night. Who will they face? Here are the options:
Commanders
Cowboys
Giants
Bears
Lions
Raiders
Rams

The Washington Commanders, the team the Eagles defeated in the NFC Championship Game last month, would make the most marketable opponent as would the Detroit Lions, who were the No. 1 seed in this year’s NFC Playoffs.
Then there are the Giants, the team the football world loves to torment these days after they allowed star running back Saquon Barkley to the Eagles, leading them to the Super Bowl.
The Giants are also likely to have a new look, especially at quarterback, so there will be some added interest to the matchup.
Since Bran Daboll took over as head ocas of the Giants, the Eagles have won five of the six meetings in the regular season and their one meeting in the postseason.
