Philly will face one of four possible opponents in the Wild Card. The scenarios for each matchup are as follows:
Eagles vs. Bucs
- Rams def. 49ers
- Saints def. Falcons
OR
- 49ers def. Rams
- Bucs def. Panthers
Eagles vs. Rams
- Rams def. 49ers
- Falcons def. Saints
Eagles vs. Cardinals
- 49ers def. Rams
- Panthers def. Bucs
- Cardinals def. Seahawks
Eagles vs. Cowboys
- 49ers def. Rams
- Panthers def. Bucs
- Seahawks def. Cardinals
Personally, I’d like nothing more than to knock out the Cowboys in the first round after what they pulled last night.
Tampa Bay is probably the best matchup on paper, however. Without Chris Godwin, Leonard Fournette, Lavonte David, and now Antonio Brown — the Bucs aren’t the same juggernaut they were last season.
They still have Tom Brady though, but the Eagles are no strangers to taking down the GOAT. Their run-heavy offense bodes well for the postseason and the teams with nothing to lose are often the most dangerous.
Dallas fans better pray to the GAWDS that they don’t go one-and-done in the playoffs after all the shit they talking.
