Week 16 bold predictions for the Philadelphia Eagles on offense

1. Eagles offense commits two penalties or less, posts 31 points playing turnover-free football.

The Philadelphia Eagles 2021-2022 regular season has been full of mishaps and moments that have made us feel like throwing our phones, televisions, tablets, or whatever other devices we’ve been keeping up with the games on. You saw the first quarter of that game versus the Washington Football Team, right?

Thankfully, we’ve also seen how good the Birds can be when they put it all together. We’re calling for more of the latter than the former in Week 16.

Expect Philadelphia’s offense to play near-mistake-free football (two penalties or less) for a FULL FOUR QUARTERS en route to 31 points.

2. Jalen Hurts throws two touchdown passes. Jake Elliott nails two FGs from 40-plus yards out.

Jake Elliott, despite being one of the Eagles’ obvious Pro Bowl snubs, has had an awesome season. He’s been automatic. Jalen Hurts has improved as a passer but is also a gifted runner as well.

Expect two boots from beyond 40 yards from Jake and some nice quarterback play from QB1 as the latter satisfies those of you who are complaining about rushing touchdowns for some reason. This week, Hurts accounts for two touchdown drives with his arm.
