🦅 Which team do you want the Eagles to play next weekend at the Linc? flyeaglesfly NBCSPhilly
The tricky thing about the Giants is that this would be the third meeting between the two teams and it’s not necessarily easy to beat the same team three times in the same season. That Week 18 game between the Eagles and Giants was a weird one, though, and I wouldn’t read too much into it. While that game was probably a little too close for comfort, the Eagles had a limited quarterback and did what they needed to do to win against the Giants’ backups.
The Giants play tough and that means that the Eagles might not cruise to victory. But you can’t really expect that in the playoffs anyway. And after seeing the Giants during the season it’s pretty clear the Eagles are simply the better team. Now, could the Eagles lose if they turn the ball over a bunch and make boneheaded mistakes? Sure. But they could lose to anyone if that happens.
On defense, the Bucs in the playoffs last year did a number on Hurts and the Eagles. They got after Hurts throughout that afternoon and the pressure got to him. But Hurts is a completely different player this year; way more comfortable in the offense and dealing with the blitz. And the Bucs defense isn’t the same either. In fact they’ve given up 30+ points in three of their last five games. With Shaquil Barrett on IR, this Bucs pass rush just doesn’t have the same juice.
The Cowboys have plenty of weapons on offense with CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, both running backs and Dalton Schultz. And on defense, they have two elite edge rushers in Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence, which is especially scary when you remember that Lane Johnson is going to attempt to play through a significant groin injury. The Eagles could definitely beat the Cowboys but it’s not the easiest route.
