Predicting the Eagles upcoming 6 game stretch, which will be the toughest in NFL

Philadelphia has the NFL’s toughest schedule and the six week stretch that the Eagles are set to embark on is the toughest in the league

To be the best, you have to beat the best, and the Philadelphia Eagles will face a six to seven-week gauntlet of playoff teams starting with the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

Over seven weeks, including the bye, the Eagles will face the Cowboys twice, along with the Chiefs, Bills, 49ers, and Seahawks.

Philadelphia has the league’s most brutal schedule, and they’ll need to maintain that edge and killer instinct on a week-to-week basis, as they experience being the hunted like they’ve never seen.

Knowing what we know about every team on the schedule during this stretch, we’re updating our predictions for the next seven games.

Predicting the Eagles wins and losses for the final 11 games

We’re predicting the wins and losses for the Philadelphia #Eagles 11 remaining games on the 2023 NFL regular season schedule

The Eagles are 5-1, and if the postseason started today, Philadelphia would be the No. 2 overall seed in the NFC, and they’d host a playoff game.

Nick Sirianni’s team will have an upcoming Week 10 bye before a late-season gauntlet of games that includes showdowns with the Chiefs, Bills, 49ers, Cowboys, and Seahawks before two matchups with the Giants, sandwiched in between a game against Jonathan Gannon and the Cardinals.

Back in May after the 2023 NFL schedule release, we predicted the Eagles win and losses and sit perfect with Philadelphia at 5-1.

Now that we’ve had a six-game sample size, we’re updating our season predictions of wins and losses for Philadelphia’s final 11 games.

Predicting wins and losses for the Ravens final 11 games

Now that we’ve had a six game sample, we’re predicting the Baltimore #Ravens wins and losses for the final 12 games of the 2023 NFL seasson

The Ravens are 4-2, and if the postseason started today, Baltimore would be the No. 3 overall seed in the AFC, and they’d host a playoff game.

John Harbaugh’s team will play six more games before a late season, Week 13 bye, and they could be one of the NFL’s hottest teams down the stretch.

Now that we’ve had a six game sample size, we’re updating our season predictions of wins and losses for Baltimore’s final 11 games.

Takeaways and observations from Eagles 25-11 win over Buccaneers in Week 3

We’re looking at takeaways and observations from the Philadelphia #Eagles 25-11 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3 on MNF

Philadelphia’s defense shut down Baker Mayfield and the Tampa offense, while the road team had a 100-yard rusher and 100-yard receiver on a night when Jalen Hurts and the offense left points on the board.

The Eagles played another sloppy contest but moved to 3-0 on the season after a 25-11 win over the Buccaneers on ABC’s Monday Night Football.

Rookie defensive tackle and No. 9 overall pick Jalen Carter was again dominant in limited pass rush opportunities, while the Eagles secondary adjusted without Avonte Maddox in the slot, moving James Bradberry and Sydney Brown around the field.

With the Birds set to start preparation for an NFC East matchup with Washington, here are takeaways and observations from the win.

Jets’ QB Aaron Rodgers to miss Week 6 matchup vs. Eagles after suffering torn Achilles

The Philadelphia #Eagles will face Jets’ QB Zach Wilson in Week 6 after an MRI confirms that Aaron Rodgers suffered a torn Achillies

The Eagles and Jets are scheduled to meet for a high-powered matchup in Week 6, and the home team will be without a future Hall of Famer quarterback.

According to Tom Pelissero, Aaron Rodgers suffered a fully torn Achilles in the Monday night win over the Bills.

After running out to a thunderous reception during pregame introductions while carrying the American flag, Rodgers went down with 10:56 remaining in the first quarter after trying to spin out of a sack by defensive end Leonard Floyd and fell to the ground with his left foot, getting stuck in the turf.

Former starter Zach Wilson replaced Rodgers, threw a touchdown pass, and helped rally the Jets to a come-from-behind win, and he’ll face Philadelphia’s disruptive pass rush five weeks from now at MetLife Stadium.

Working in the Jets’ favor, is a monster Week 7 matchup against the Dolphins that looms for the Eagles.

Every season-opening game for Eagles since 2010

With Philadelphia heading to New England to face the Patriots on Sunday, we look back at every season opener for the #Eagles since 2010.

Detroit defeated Kansas City and the NFL’s opening matchup, and it’s officially game week for the Eagles and 29 other teams around the NFL.

Philadelphia will hit the road for a matchup against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium, and it’ll be a celebration of retired quarterback, Tom Brady.

Over the years, the Eagles have had great success in Week One, and a strong start on Sunday could again catapult the team to postseason success in late January.

With preparation for New England underway, here’s a recap of every season opener since 2010.

Eagles 2023 schedule: Non-division games to watch this season

#Eagles 2023 schedule: Non-division games to watch this season

Now that the Philadelphia Eagles 53-man roster was finalized minutes before the Tuesday afternoon deadline, there are a few games the team will play this season that are going to be exciting.

The NFC East is up for grabs as Philadelphia attempts to be repeat champions since they accomplished that about 20 years ago, but I have my eye on a few non-division games.

Eagles-Jets

I’m very intrigued by this Eagles-Jets game because both teams are almost the same. They have a mix of young guys and veterans I’m very intrigued by this Eagles-Jets game because both teams are almost the same. They have a mix of young guys and veterans who drastically improved their teams in a short time. It’s also going to be exciting to watch the quarterback battle between Aaron Rodgers and Jalen Hurts, let alone the other matchups on offense and defense with DeVonta Smith and Sauce Gardner.

The Eagles will face off on the road against the New York Jets on October 15 at 4:25 p.m. EST.

Eagles-Chiefs

It’s probably a given that this Super Bowl rematch is on everyone’s radar. Both teams look a little different, so it’s going to be interesting to see how things play out with a different Eagles offense – especially one where the defensive scheming will be prepared instead of a coach preparing for a job interview. We have more Georgia defensive guys on the team like Nolan Smith and Jalen Carter so it might be a different outcome in the Super Bowl had they been able to draft earlier.

The Eagles will face off on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs on November 20 in primetime at 8:15 p.m. EST.

Eagles-49ers

Just as much as fans are ready to see the Super Bowl rematch, I think they’re equally ready for the NFC Championship. The 49ers really feel like they have unfinished business from the Championship, and though a regular season isn’t going to mean much, it could mean a potential tiebreaker between two of the most dominant teams in the NFC. I’m really surprised this game isn’t a primetime game and wouldn’t be surprised if it got flexed as such if both teams somehow became neck and neck towards the end of the season.

The Eagles will face the San Francisco 49ers at home on December 3 at 4:25 p.m. EST.

Eagles-Cardinals

Personally, I’m very excited for this matchup. I’m happy Carter wasn’t a part of the Gannon Era defense. I’m ready to see the Eagles get one last bit of revenge against their former defensive coordinator who didn’t put the team in any position to win the game over his own personal greed. Should the Eagles be in a good position (or at least a better position than the Cardinals) I don’t think it’s inappropriate to sit some of the veterans towards the end of the game if things go well.

The Eagles face off at home against the Arizona Cardinals on New Year’s Eve at 1:00 p.m. EST.

Eagles to face Ezekiel Elliott in season opener as veteran RB nears deal with Patriots

The Philadelphia #Eagles will face a familiar foe in Ezekiel Elliott during the season opener after the veteran RB signed with #Patriots

The Eagles will continue their rivalry with Ezekiel Elliott in 2023 after the running back signed a one-year deal with the Patriots.

Elliott, 27, was released after eight seasons in Dallas as he was set to count $16.7 million against the salary cap with a $10.9 million non-guaranteed base salary.

The former Ohio State star had a career-low 876 rushing yards in 2022; he scored 12 touchdowns and remained a top short-yardage running back and pass protector, something that can transition to what New England wants to do on offense.

In 12 career games against the Eagles, Elliott has 233 carries for 1,107 yards and seven rushing touchdowns.

Elliott finished his career in Dallas with 1,881 carries for 8,262 yards and 68 rushing touchdowns. He caught 305 passes for 1,336 yards and 12 touchdowns.
