Can the Philadelphia Eagles bounce back after back-to-back losses? Here’s a prediction on that and every other game on the Week 4 NFL slate.

Is it safe to say the NFL season has brought us some close games and some surprises in 2019? Here’s one that hits close to home. The Philadelphia Eagles, who were supposed to battle the Dallas Cowboys all season long for NFC East superiority, have fallen into a two-game slump and now trail Dallas by two games for the top spot in the division.

This may sound crazy, but some of these teams playing in Week 4, Philly included, are playing in games that are going to feel like playoff environments. The Eagles are in a tough spot early. A Cowboys win and an Eagles loss would put ‘The Birds’ in an early three-game hole after the first quarter of the season.

Everyone’s saying the right things. Every interview produces the ‘it’s too early to panic’ jargon, but it may be too late. Panic is already settling in with some of the team’s fan base.

The ITI staff got together. We discussed the games like we do every week. Last time, we went 10-5. How might we do this time around? Here’s our prediction for every game on the Week 4 slate. We begin with the one Eagles fans are most interested in.
