Reply to comment by Calmandpeace in NFC East becomes first division since 2002 realignment to have three teams advance to divisional round by RollingMoss1

I’d take the eagles -10.5 over San Francisco tbh. They’re a buzzsaw team.

As a 49ers fan, I don't disagree too much on your assessment. The only thing is, Eagles will be sunk if something happens with Hurts.

Based on what win over a good team this season are you confident in the Eagles?

Mostly based on the roster, their quarterback who doesn’t turn the ball over, their defense that forces the other team to turn the ball over. Their two thousand yard receivers. Their thousand yard RB. Their league leading pass rush, their secondary, their o line. They have no holes anywhere.

Im not saying they’re bad, I’m saying they played a ridiculously easy schedule, so all those impressive accolades you just gave could certainly be a result of them being awesome, but they could certainly be a result of them playing no one.

We’ll likely find out next week when they finally play a varsity team against the 49ers.

You can make the schedule argument for every team. If we’re being honest there are only about 5 or 6 legitimately good NFL teams this year. That’s a weak argument.

Cincy dallas KC SF Philly and Buffalo. That’s it, those are all the good teams in the league. You can make fun of the schedule for all of those teams if you want. The eagles won their division, which this year was the best division in the NFL, by 2 games.

I do know the 49ers got their doors blown off by KC, the only legitimately good team on their schedule so…make of that what you will.
