12 teams take aim for a Lombardi Trophy. Here are the Philadelphia Eagles’ biggest obstacles and advantages in beating all of the remaining playoff teams.

Everything is ‘do or die’ now. Of the 32 NFL teams, there are only twelve that have earned the opportunity to compete for the right to be called champions. Here’s the good news. One of those teams is the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Wild Card Round works itself out on Saturday and Sunday. Once we know who the winners are, we’ll know who travels to face either the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers in the NFC’s Divisional Round and who the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs will host in the AFC’s Divisional Round, but you guys know all of that already.

All any Eagles fan cares about is whether or not their ‘Birds’ can hoist the Lombardi Trophy for the second time in three years. They’ve got a shot. There isn’t one team in the field that’s unbeatable, and the Eagles figure to be competitive regardless of who they see in front of them.

Everyone has their theories. Here are a few more. Here’s Philly’s biggest advantage and obstacle versus every team in the playoffs. We begin with six teams that they won’t see unless they meet up with one of these worthy opponents in Miami.
