The Eagles will make the playoffs

Philadelphia hasn’t made the playoffs since 2013. They haven’t won a playoff game since 2008. It’s been a long time since the Eagles have smelled success in the playoffs. Luckily, that will change this season.

With Carson Wentz and Doug Pederson both with a year of experience under their belts, it seems inevitable that the team takes a step forward in 2017. Besides, the Eagles weren’t that far off from a playoff team last season. Of the team’s nine losses in 2016, six of them were decided by seven points or less. Had a couple bounces gone the Eagles’ way, they probably would have been playing in January.
