Philadelphia Eagles 2021 schedule: Let’s do the win-loss prediction thing
By David Esser
Week 9 vs Los Angeles (Chargers): Loss
Justin Herbert flashed some serious “star” potential last season and the team improved their roster and coaching staff during the offseason. They’re just better than Philadelphia at the moment.
Week 10 @ Denver: Win
Drew Lock stinks, and the Broncos should have drafted Justin Fields. Even with the game taking place in the “Mile High City,” I’m simply far more confident in Jalen Hurts’ ability than I am of Lock’s. You can “lock” this one in as a win.
Week 11 vs New Orleans: Win
Drew Brees is no longer on the team and Hurts has already proven he can beat Sean Payton. Let’s chalk this one up as gutsy win at home because why not.
Week 12 @ New York (Giants): Loss
The Giants took considerable steps to improve this past offseason, and I think it’ll be enough to make them competitive in 2021. With this being a road game for the Eagles as well, I’m going with the G-Men here in Week 12.
Week 13 @ New York (Jets): Loss
Typically, playing the Jets is viewed as a free win. However, with Zach Wilson now running the show, I think they’ll be a significantly better team moving forward. Joe Douglas’ new-look roster should topple his mentor’s.
