Last season I had the team going 13-4 & losing the SB to the Bills so think I'll stick with that same H&A record but we go on & take revenge against the Chiefs, routing them 42-16 in the big dance.

Tougher schedule this year, so for a prediction I'll say 11-5, win the division on tie breakers and lose the NFC title game.
I wouldn't be surprised by anything from 10-7 to 14-3, then from one-and-done in the playoffs to SuperBowl victory.

Not sure how that chartered accountant test works over there, but over here 11-5 doesn’t equal 17 games.

I can't get used to this new fangled 17 game season!
11-6 (after taking off my socks to check).

I’ll also go with 11-6.
Not sure if that beats Dallas for the division or not. They should be good and. There’s that 19 years since repeat division champions.
Vegas has them over/under at 11.5, with the under having more probable odds.
Tougher schedule, likely more injuries and the NFL ebb and flow year to year is why I think the 11 wins.
Still one of the best three in the NFC but those football gods are fickle.

I think they win 10 or 11 games. NFC East is better this season and they'll beat each other up. I don't see anyone running the table in the NFC East. And they obviously have some other tough games in addition.

I am going with 11-6, Wild Card to get into the playoffs. Loss in the NFC Championship game.

in May, a site came put with future point spreads of all of the NFL games.
Using the expected point spreads and the historical winning %'s by point spread, here is the math for expected Eagles wins for this year:
at NE 3.5 61.6% MIN 5.5 67.8% at TB 4.5 63.3% WAS 7.5 75.3% AT LAR 3.5 61.6% AT NYJ (1.0) 50.4% MIA 3.0 54.5% AT WAS 4.5 63.3% DAL 2.5 56.2% AT KC (4.5) 36.7% BUF PK 50.0% SF 1.5 51.1% AT DAL (1.0) 50.4% AT SEA 2.0 59.5% NYG 6.5 71.4% ARI 10.5 75.4% AT NYG 3.5 54.5% WINS 10.03
so even though we are only dogs in three games, we still compute to a 10-7 record. There are a lot of toss up games this year. I did this for three years prior and this result was always real close to the Vegas over/under.
FWIW, this year, it shows our over/under is inflated by 1.5 wins.

I predict 12-5. Oh, and also that our dumbass fan base will spend more time watching the Cardinals than the Eagles. I'll be keeping score!

I heard a few bad stats today:
The Eagles have the toughest schedule this year based on last year's record.
The last six years, the team playing the toughest schedule has a winning % of .534 which is 9.03 wins in a 17 game season.
Also, teams that lost the SB the previous year and have to go on the road week 1 the next season, are 2-15 against the spread and 3-14 straight up in week one.
Other than that, have a nice day !!

Big game today boys!
Gotta love football.
Each game is so important.
One game is almost ten baseball games.
Just get a win. I don’t need any beauty points, just a W.
Any big bets you guys want to share?
With all of the betting outlets nowadays, there’s a lot of opportunities out there.
Go Birds!

I'll claim the optimist prize and go with 14-3. Losses to Buffalo, Dallas away, and the final game against the Giants 'cause we're resting our starters.

For the record, remind me about your opinion of Gannon? I think the same as yours. I wasn't a huge fan of his coaching style, but the results were there. Best passing D in the league, historically good pass rush, and overall a top 5 defense. Our idiot media and fan base complained about him all year long, often from week to week depending on game results. It was annoying, but it's what we do. They shit the bed in the 2nd half of the SB, against a generational talent QB and a HOF offensive coach. Combine that with a god-awful fumble TD, and awful punt coverage, and we lost. The point is, he was always going to be the Designated Reason why we lost. And if we won, it would be despite him, similar to Schwartz. That's because our dumbass fan base (ODFB) can't let go of past eras, with past rosters, with past coaches. A number of Eagles fans actually thought he was a double agent, and lost on purpose - no really, look it up. Others thought that Howie "wouldn't let him on the plane back," as if he didn't have a scheduled interview in the same town. (Including some people here) He's gone, and is the Cardinals coach. Yet all I see everywhere I look on Eagles facebook pages is posts about him. And that's why my official wingheads ODFB counter will keep track of all the times we care more about the Cardinals than our team, or unnecessarily bring him up. Week 17 is fair game, as he will actually be our opponent. So let it loose then!

My 14-3 prediction is looking pretty good! Although Buffalo's not looking too tough of late.
