Who are the toughest opponents the Eagles will face in 2022?

The Philadelphia Eagles schedule has been out for a few weeks now, and everyone from fans to pundits have started making predictions about how many wins this team could earn during the 2022 season. It has also been mentioned the Eagles have one of the easiest schedules in the NFL, as the team ranks 30th in the strength of schedule (.464). The rest of the NFC East teeters around that same number as well with the New York Giants ranking 29th and the Dallas Cowboys, and Washington Commanders being tied for 31st.

Even though a lot of people consider the NFC East to be football’s weakest division, one full of beatable opponents, every team could surprise some people and each other. The Cowboys are still the cream of the crop as they won all six games versus NFC East competition a season ago. The Eagles were a .500 team in the division with a 3-3 record.

Each NFC East team also played one of the toughest divisions in all of football last season, the AFC West. This time around, they’ll face the AFC South, perhaps the conference’s worst.

Will Philly go 17-0? No, because they are definitely teams on this schedule that are either legitimate contenders or teams that are ready to make that jump to the post-season.

Here are three. Their games versus Philly could go either way because they could wind up causing a ton of matchup issues.
