News: ESPN: Eagles better chance of winning the east than Boys

[waving monkey]

Wince is a good QB and is demonstrating improvement.As up thread has stated the loss of Sproles is big.
I like our chances.

Wentz throws the ball all over the place and will get intercepted more times than not. He will cost them some games being a gunslinger that he is.

maybe they based it on how many div wins so far?

I think they based it on Carsus of Bismarck.

You were all warned.

Kinda dumb to try to predict it this early in the season but I would think it would be because they are 2-0 in the division and the fact that the Denver game is a home game for them and a road (loss already) game for us, which has traditionally been a significant difference in schedule strength for that opponent. Additionally they play the Panthers and Bears while we play the Seahawks and the Packers.

Edit: I think they play Seahawks as well, should be Falcons instead.

The NFC East plays the NFC West and the AFC West. The differences in the Dallas and Philadelphia schedules are: Dallas plays he first place team in the NFC central in the NFC South while Philadelphia play’s the last place teams. That is, Green Bay and Atlanta instead of Chicago and Caroline.

We played at Denver. They played at Kansas City. We get KC at home on Thanksgiving.

There's not really a dominant team in the NFL right now, and certainly not in the NFC East. This might be a year where 10-6 wins the division

Every year the media, especially the northeast media try to talk up one of the most losing franchises in NFL history........but, but, but they have won three championships......yes they did back when the league was only like 12 teams, even then, after 80+ years they still own an all time record under .500. Their fanbase as a whole know very little about the rest of the league, mainly just their own dilusional world, which explains why they have a different moniker every year like "the dream team", "unstopable", "Chip Kelly will reinvent the NFL", and last but not least...."the dynasty"......their not a very knowledgable fanbase and don't seem to mind the rest of the fanbases laughing at their dilusion.

Lol I LITERALLY almost said the same thing.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

Ruffling the Cowboys/Cowboys fans makes for better reaction, marketing attn. etc I'm convinced of this.

[PJTHEDOORS]

lol. So they poll 2 guys in the bathroom for this.

 

[mrmojo]

Boy ESPN has really fallen, MNF, sports center and the talk shows are unwatchable....i only watch when Boys, 30 for 30 or E60 are on.

 

[bayeslife]

I'm sure there are some advanced level statistics that go into it, but its only been 3 weeks so that graph can drastically change within the next 2 months.

 

[Tommy]

Cool.

Where did they have us finishing in the division last year?

 

[TheHerd]

The only part of that graphic I like is the Giants odds.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I think SOS plays a factor in it (based on the FPIs of other teams). Eagles have played a tougher slate to date.

meh, they beat the Giants and Commanders, we beat Arizona and Giants.

They lost to Chiefs, we lost to Broncos.

Seems equal to me

Yep. That's a big difference in the schedule which is probably the big reason for Philly being more likely to win the division.

 

[cowboy_ron]

Then they better get started soon, we'll be getting some defensive help soon.

The eagles are 2-1 due to a miraculous last second FG against an 0-2 team.

ESPN's week 4 picks are picking the Charges 7-4 over the eagles while picking Dallas 10-1 over the Rams.

I know picks don't matter but it seems a little like they try to straddle both sides of the fence....................I guess why they're ESPN.....being correct has never been very high on their priority list.
