Philadelphia Eagles: Predicting second half win-loss record
Week 11: vs. New England Patriots
The Eagles will get Week 10 off because of a bye. That will be a perfect time for the team to rest up and get healthy. By Week 11, the Eagles will have some key contributors back in action after missing a good chunk of players throughout the first half of the season.
At this point, the Patriots might very well be undefeated still, through eleven weeks. They are a good squad, no doubt. But you can’t really say the Patriots are unstoppable. New England definitely has its flaws, and the Eagles will look to take advantage of them.
We all know that Eagles’ head coach Doug Pederson can go toe-to-toe with Bill Belichick when it comes to coaching, so we don’t have to worry about the Eagles getting out-coached.
Instead, the worry will be whether the Eagles come out rusty and flat in the first quarter after the bye week or not. If they can avoid an early slump, the Eagles should be in good shape. This won’t be an easy game, but we like the Eagles winning another shootout with Tom Brady in this one.
