The Eagles schedule is out, so we can all finally issue official ™ game-by-game predictions:

Some quick thoughts on the slate. Assuming the games are played as listed above. Or at all.

  • A 3-0 start doesn’t feel unrealistic to me, nor does a 6-2 start.
  • Weeks 4-6 and 12-14 jump out right away. The first half of the schedule looks pretty favorable, but that @SF, @PIT, vs. BAL stretch will certainly be revealing.
  • A quick turnaround to host the Giants in primetime on a Thursday night in Week 7 is fine, especially if it means getting the Cowboys on 10 days of rest in Week 8.
  • I would’ve preferred the Cowboys, sans what will be traditional prep time paired with a new coaching staff, in the opening weeks. Can’t have it all, I guess.
  • As for Weeks 12-14, that’s a brutal stretch. But it doesn’t concern me quite as much as it seems to concern others.
  • The Eagles haven’t beaten the Seahawks since 2008, but if they are the team we suspect/hope they are, that should be a win. They owe the Seahawks one.
  • Winning at Green Bay for a second straight season is a tough ask, but the Packers aren’t exactly an offseason darling right now.
  • In general, the Saints scare the shit out of me, BUT they are a team playing its third of three straight road games by the time they reach Philly. Not to mention, New Orleans has to deal with Kansas City the following week. It’s still a tough game, but contextually, it could be a lot worse.
  • That Week 15 game at Arizona just feels like a stupid, miserable last-second loss.

For what it’s worth, Dave Spadaro has the Eagles at 16-0. I say 11-5. What say you?
