What Teams Can The Eagles Play In The Playoffs?

Playoffs?: The Eagles have one of the best records in football, which means they have a very good chance at securing the one seed in the NFC. Having this one seed will be amazing, meaning the Eagles will get a bye week until the divisional round. The way the league is right now, The Birds have a good chance of playing either the Cowboys or the Buccaneers. Either of these teams are tough opponents that will give the Eagles a really hard time. In the next sections, we are gonna look ahead to those matchups.

The Cowboys: Playing the Cowboys is the most likely situation in this scenario. Playing the Cowboys is a huge division rival game. The Cowboys are our rivals and we are their rivals. Eagles VS. Cowboys is considered to be one of the best rivalries in sports and it is guaranteed to be a classic. While the Eagles beat them earlier in the season, Dak was hurt and they have played much better since. The Eagles matchup well against the Cowboys, with their great defense and amazing offense, it will be hard fought game for sure.

The #Eagles are the only undefeated team vs current playoff teams this season (3-0).

Wins over the Vikings (10-2), Titans (7-5) and Cowboys (9-3).

Each of them have been by more than one score.

The Buccaneers 👴 : The other team that is a possibility at this time is the Buccaneers. While the Buccaneers have not been the same this year, any team with Tom Brady is still scary. Having the goat on the other side of the ball is a tough matchup for our defense, but having one of the best in the league, they can take it. The buccaneers have been very inconsistent and the Eagles defense can take advantage of that by putting the whole offense under pressure. This game would also be a revenge game for this team because the Buccaneers are the ones that knocked us out of the playoffs last year. Jalen and the rest of the team would look to take revenge on this team from last year.

Who Would I Rather Play?: While I would love the story of playing the Cowboys, I would rather play the Buccaneers. Their inconsistent play is a huge factor on why I would rather play them than the Cowboys. I think the Eagles can beat whoever they play, I would rather them play the Buccaneers.
