A rematch of the season opener in Sao Paulo, which the Eagles won 34 to 29. The Commies will be the six seed, while the Cowboys and Giants will be playing golf. Score prediction: Birds 27, Packers 17. Not sure how you feel about it, but I wouldn’t have minded getting some revenge at home against the Commies, to end their season at Lincoln Financial Field. But Jayden Daniels is annoying, and the Packers are totally beatable if the Birds play a clean game, so it is what it is. Not scared of either team. Go Birds.
