Game-by-game Eagles predictions following the James Bradberry addition
By Ryan Loftus
The Eagles face two tough opponents after a fairly easy start to the season.
Date and Time: October 9th at 4:25 p.m. EST
Venue: State Farm Stadium
Overall and divisional record: 5-0, 1-0
Before the James Bradberry signing, many fans had the Birds dropping this game to the Arizona Cardinals. In fact, even we here at Inside the Iggles had the Birds failing to pull off a go-ahead drive in a one-score game.
However, with the Bradberry addition, it is the Cardinals that will have to try and stage a comeback. Although they have Kyler Murray, Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown, and former Eagle Zach Ertz, they have a hard time moving the ball without DeAndre Hopkins. Due to this, they fall to the still-undefeated Eagles.
Date and Time: Sunday, October 16th at 8:20 p.m. EST
Venue: Lincoln Financial Field
Overall and divisional record: 5-1, 1-1
Well, it was fun while it lasted. The Eagles end their undefeated streak at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys, who are still in contention to win the division despite losing Amari Cooper, Randy Gregory, and La’el Collins, among others. With a stacked offense and a defense that can compete with the top quarterbacks in the league, the Cowboys are a serious threat despite their losses.
While the game will be close, as almost all of the NFC East divisional matchups are, the Cowboys are always a pain in the side of the city of Philadelphia. In the end, Dallas will walk into the Linc and leave a blemish on the Birds’ otherwise undefeated record.
