Easy start for the Birds?

The Eagles’ first four opponents had a combined record of 21-46 in 2021. They open up the year against Detroit, who they beat down by 38 points last season when they switched to a rush-heavy offense.

The Eagles then play Minnesota in their home opener, followed by visiting Washington to see Carson Wentz and hosting former Super Bowl-winning head coach Doug Pederson in Week 4. Starting the season 4-0 is a realistic possibility for Philadelphia.

Primetime Matchups

After clinching the playoffs in 2021 and adding playmakers on both sides of the ball, the Eagles will make five primetime appearances next season — the most since 2018:

• Week 2 vs. Minnesota Vikings
• Week 6 vs. Dallas Cowboys
• Week 9 vs. Houston Texans
• Week 10 vs. Washington Commanders
• Week 12 vs. Green Bay Packers

The five games are tied for most in the NFL in 2022. Eagles’ primetime football is back.

Record Prediction

At first glance, the Eagles should surpass their win total from last season. Their toughest stretch will be Weeks 12-14 where they play Indianapolis, Green Bay and Tennessee. Following that, the Eagles have three consecutive road games against the Giants, Bears and Cowboys.

Winnable games, but division matchups on the road are always tough to predict. If Jalen Hurts can improve and take advantage of the added firepower on offense, there’s no reason he can’t lead Philly to double-digit wins in 2022.

Prediction: 12-5, NFC East Champions

Every team's strength of schedule for next season. 👀 (by @Upwork)
