2021 NFL schedule set to be released on May 12

Adam Schefter is reporting that the Eagles 17 game NFL schedule for 2021 will be released on May 12

As well await the NFL draft in eight days, we now have an idea on the 2021 NFL schedule, as Adam Schefter is reporting that the league has set a date of May 12, for fans and the media.

The league just confirmed the announcement moments ago.

The National Football League announced today that the 2021 NFL Schedule powered by AWS will be released on NFL Network, NFL.com and the NFL app on Wednesday, May 12 at 8:00 PM ET.

NFL Network’s coverage will be highlighted by Schedule Release ’21 Presented by Verizon which breaks down the 2021 NFL regular season schedule, division-by-division, analyzing the top matchups and primetime games.

Live streaming of NFL Network is available across multiple devices (smartphone, PC, tablet and connected TVs) through the NFL app or NFL.com/watch for subscribers of participating NFL Network providers.

NFL.com and the NFL app will provide complete team-by-team and weekly schedules of all regular season games, listing opponents, sites and times.

The Eagles will face the NFC South and AFC West, meaning Philadelphia’s rebuilt defense will face Tom Brady, Taysom Hill or Drew Brews, Patrick Mahomes, and Chargers rookie sensation, Justin Herbert among others.

The Eagles will play their six NFC East games along with the 49ers and Lions as well as a familiar face in Joe Douglas and the New York Jets.

Philadelphia’s projected win total was revealed by BetMGM recently and now we’ve highlighted the projected win total for their 14 opponents.

Eagles’ projected win total for the 2021 season revealed; ESPN takes the over

Vegas oddsmakers have released their win totals for the 2021 season and the Eagles over/under is 6.5

As the Eagles prepare for the NFL draft, experts around the league and Vegas oddsmakers have started to project win totals for all 32 teams.

BetMGM released its initial projected win totals for each team for the coming season and the Eagles have an initial over/under of 6.5.

ESPN looked at all 32 teams over and under, with Tim McManus taking the over for the Birds.

Philadelphia Eagles

Over/under: 7

Prediction: Over

It’s been doom and gloom in Philadelphia after the Eagles’ 4-11-1 campaign in 2020, and rightfully so. Still, there’s reason to believe they can be more competitive this season. Projected starter Jalen Hurts is sure to provide a higher level of play than the departed Carson Wentz did in 2020 and will be operating behind an offensive line that is formidable when healthy. The same can be said for the defensive front, which will be backed by Anthony Harris and Darius Slay in the secondary. Philadelphia will benefit enough from a last-place schedule to climb out of the NFC East basement and hit get eight or nine wins. — Tim McManus

Despite losing to the Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV, the Kansas City Chiefs are projected to have the highest win total in the NFL with 12.

Tampa Bay follows closely behind with 11.5, while the Packers (11), Ravens (11), and Bills (10.5) round out the top five. Four other teams have double-digit win totals, including the Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers, and Seattle Seahawks.

The Texans have the lowest projected win total with 4.5 along with the Detroit Lions (5.5), New York Jets (6), and Cincinnati Bengals (6.5).

5 Philadelphia Eagles games that could be played in prime-time this season

Eagles games against the Cowboys, Chiefs, Buccaneers, Giants, and 49ers all could be played in prime-time this season.

The Eagles know their opponents for the 2021 NFL season and per Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal, the dates and times should be released sometime next month.

Typically, the NFL schedule is released prior to the NFL draft, but the COVID-19 pandemic has ensured a late unveil for the second straight year.

Everything we do know:

:The Eagles will face the NFC South and AFC West, meaning Philadelphia’s rebuilt defense will face Tom Brady, Sam Darnold, Matt Ryan, Taysom Hill or Jameis Winston, Derek Carr, Patrick Mahomes, and Chargers rookie sensation, Justin Herbert among others.

: The Eagles will play their six NFC East games along with the 49ers and Lions as well.

: The NFL is headed toward expanding its regular-season schedule to 17 games in 2021 and that means the Eagles will meet Joe Douglas, head coach Robert Saleh and the New York Jets on the road.

The Eagles will face the Jets since both teams had last-place finishes in their respective divisions last season.

The matchup could give Howie Roseman and the Eagles an up-close look at Zach Wilson after Philadelphia reportedly had an interest in trading up in order to draft the former BYU star.

The 2020 NFL schedule release show is less than a month away and as fans and analysts start to clamor for the most high-profile games to watch, we’re set to break down five games that have the most potential to be played in prime time.

NFL officially adds a 17th game to the schedule as Eagles will face the Jets in 2021

The NFL has added a 17th game to the schedule, removing one preseason game as the Eagles will face the New York Jets in 2021.

The NFL is headed toward expanding its regular-season schedule to 17 games in 2021 and that means the Eagles will meet Joe Douglas, head coach Robert Saleh and the New York Jets on the road.

When the NFL was choosing options, the formula that was adopted featured the AFC versus NFC, cross-conference matchup from two years ago, with the 2021 matchups based on 2020 standings.

The Eagles will face the Jets since both teams had last-place finishes in their respective divisions last season.

The matchup could give Howie Roseman and the Eagles an up-close look at Zach Wilson after Philadelphia reportedly had an interest in trading up in order to draft the former BYU star.
