Daily News | Which team will the Eagles play in the NFL playoffs’ divisional round? Our beat writers make wild-card picks.
The Eagles have a first-round bye in the playoffs and await the lowest seed to come out of the wild-card round. Which team will they face next?The Eagles could know as early as Saturday night who their upcoming opponent is in the divisional round of the playoffs. If the No. 7 seed Seattle Seahawks were to upset the No. 2 seed San Francisco 49ers, it would be a best-case scenario facing a team that sneaked into the postseason.
So that leaves the No. 5 seed Dallas Cowboys at the No. 4 seed Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night. The Vikings’ lone loss at U.S. Bank Stadium, it should be noted, came in a 40-3 drubbing at the hands of Dallas. It was easily the Cowboys’ best road victory. I don’t know how much to make of their 1-4 record on grass vs. 11-2 on turf, but Dak Prescott has been a decidedly less effective quarterback on a natural surface in his career. Is that merely anecdotal? Maybe.
Stranger things have happened, but it’s hard to predict a Seattle upset. The 49ers won both of the regular-season matchups, and while the adage that it’s hard to beat a team three times in one season holds weight, there’s a reason San Fran has reigned victorious. They have more talent on both sides and third-string quarterback Brock Purdy has played well above the expectations that are often associated with being a seventh-round pick.the Vikings are at least halfway correct.
