Predicting all 17 Eagles Games: How Many Wins Will They Get?

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - NOVEMBER 05: Head coach Nick Sirianni of the Philadelphia Eagles reacts in the game against the Dallas Cowboys in the game against the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field on November 05, 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The Eagles won 11 games last season, but it didn’t feel like it with the epic collapse after the 10-1 start. This year, I have them winning 11, but they will close the year much better than they did last season. Doing the early W’s and L’s is fun this early, and obviously things are subject to change.  

Here Are Tyrone’s Predictions for All 17 Eagles Games

Week 1vs the Packers in Brazil (0-1)

The Eagles have their 3rd OC in 3 years and their 4th DC in 3 years. The Packers are the team with better continuity & I think they edge the Eagles in a close one. 

Week 2 vs the Falcons on MNF (1-1) 

Kirk Cousins isn’t beating them in Philadelphia in a prime-time game. 

Week 3 at the Saints (2-1) 

People think the Saints have a great home-field advantage, but the data says otherwise. The Eagles offense hangs 35 on them in the dome. 

Week 4 at the Bucs (3-1) 

This is a revenge game after being eliminated by them in the playoffs last season.  

Week 5 Bye 

This early bye will lead to an extra loss later in the year when they are playing 13 straight weeks. 

Week 6 vs the Browns (3-2) 

The Browns end up focusing on what the Eagles have done offensively to start the year. The Browns defense slows them down for the 1st time.  

Week 7 at the Giants (4-2)

Saquon may have 300 total yards in his 1st game back there. The Eagles will win by 21 or more. 

Week 8 at the Bengals (4-3) 

It is not always who you play, it is when you play them. The Eagles come down off the high of a division win and lose on the road. 

Week 9 vs the Jaguars (5-3) 

Doug Pederson returns to Philadelphia again and loses again. I don’t think Pederson survives the year down in Jacksonville and this loss helps end his tenure. 

Week 10 at the Cowboys (5-4) 

I think the Eagles are going 5-1 in the division this year, this is the only loss. On the road at Dallas is never easy. 

Week 11 vs the Commanders (6-4) 

Yes, it is a short week, but the game is at home and the Commanders are not that good. The game will be close, but the Eagles will win. 

Week 12 at the Rams (6-5) 

The Rams have a future hall of fame QB, and the Eagles have a ton of questions on the defensive side of the ball. This game is a coin flip, but I have the Birds losing. 

Week 13 at the Ravens (6-6)

Another elite QB against a very young Eagles defense. I do think they will figure it out, but not this week. This will be the fatigue loss from the early bye.  

Week 14 vs the Panthers (7-6) 

The Panthers are likely the worst team in football again. The Eagles take their frustrations from back-to-back losses out on them. 

Week 15 vs the Steelers (8-6) 

I don’t care about Tomlin’s over .500 streak. The Steelers will play hard down the stretch, but who will be the QB? The Eagles win. 

Week 16 at the Commanders (9-6) 

The Eagles’ young defense will be dialed in by this time behind Fangio. Mitchell, DeJean, and Trotter Jr will all be starting as well. With the young athletic players flying around they win. 

Week 17 vs the Cowboys (10-6) 

The Cowboys will fire Mike McCarthy after this game. He will have to take his own flight back to Dallas. This will be the sweetest victory of the season. 

Week 18 vs the Giants (11-6) 

Unlike last year, the Giants will be ready to board the plane for vacation as the Eagles are peaking at the right time. This will cap 5 straight wins to close the season. 

This will be a rollercoaster season, a good start, a dip in the middle, and a great close to the season. The Eagles will win the NFC East and win a home game in the playoffs.

Grading Every Pick And Draft Day Move By The Eagles

  • 1st Round- Pick 22- CB- Quinyon Mitchell- Toledo

    The 1st round could not have gone any better for the Eagles. They got the best player, at their biggest player of need, and didn’t need to trade up to get him.

    They say you don’t draft for need, but if the best player available also is a need, you do it. Quinyon Mitchell has the makings of a star cornerback. He shut down the competition at Toldeo. And while some are concerned about that competition being weaker, he also shut down the competition at the Senior Bowl.

    We have been desperate for the Eagles to land a prolific young cornerback, and they finally did it. This could be nothing but an A+.

    Grade- A+

  • 2nd Round- Pick 40- CB- Cooper Dejean- Iowa

    What is better than 1 good young corner? Two good young corners. History repeated itself in the 2nd round. The last time the Eagles took a corner was 2002 with Lito Shepard. They followed that pick with Michael Lewies and Sheldon Brown in the 2nd. This time the Eagles paired Mitchell with Cooper Dejean.

    Many people had the Eagles taking DeJean at pick. Getting him in the 2nd round, feels like a steal. He held opposing QBs in the Big 10 to a passer rating under 50 in each of the past two seasons, and racked up 7 picks.

    DeJean could play outside corner, could play in the slot, or could even play Safety. Hell, he can even be a return man. He did a little of everything at Iowa, and did all of it at a high level. The phrase Jack Of All Trades, Master of None does not apply here. Because in his case, he looked like a Master Of All Trades.

    They had to give up assets to trade up for him. They packaged both their 2nds to get up to 40, but got a 3rd back. They also swapped 5th round picks. It cost them a second chance at a player with a 2nd round grade. But to get a guy they would have taken at 22, it is worth it.

  • 3rd Round- Pick 94- EDGE- Jalyx Hunt- Houston Christian

    I am going to be honest and say I had never heard of Houston Christian, let alone watched one of their games. I was only vaguely aware of Hunt from what a few draft experts said. And they seem to like him.

    He is a project, but one with a lot of upside. Since most of us have never watched him play, we kind of just have to take the word of people who did. It seems like he can play a bit, but we will find out when he takes the field.

    They traded down twice before taking him, adding 2 4th round picks. So that factors in a bit. But if he doesn’t pan out, and one of the guys who went between when they were supposed to pick, and where they took him, it won’t be a great look.

    On the other hand, if they take someone with one of those 4th round picks who pans out, it makes it look like a great move.

    This one is harder to grade, but I’ll give it a decent one for now.

  • Trade Pick 120 For a 3rd Round Pick

    The Eagles have a lot of picks today, and not many picks in the 2025 draft. So why not trade one away from today, and gain what next year? That is exactly what they did. Howie turned Pick 120 into a 2025 3rd round pick. we don’t know where in the 3rd that pick will be. its the Dolphins pick, so it could be later in the draft. But at worst, it is at least 30 picks higher than 120.

    Great move.

    Grade- A+

  • 4th Round- Pick 127- RB- Will Shipley- Clemson

    The Eagles traded down, again, adding a 2025 5th-round pick. That part I like. As far the pick. eh. Shipley has skills that we should like. He can catch, he is fast, and he can contribute on Special teams. But many say the upside is limited. He isn’t ever going to be a 3 down back. He’s a backup.

    They don’t need that right now with Saquon Barkley, but there are higher-upside RBs available, and there will be RBs of Shipley’s caliber later in the draft. Not a bad pick. He wi;ll find ways to help the team. Just not a needle mover.

    Grade- C

  • More Trades

    We were shocked when Howie didn’t trade up in the 1st and stayed at 22. That worked out. But clearly not trading made Howie uncomfortable, because he then made trades with every other pick. The latest, trading pick 132 and 210, for 164, 201, and a 2025 4th-round pick.

    Oddly enough that 2025 pick, is the one they gave up to get D’Andre Swift this time last year.

    Howie is stockpiling picks for next year. Thats the 3rd pick he added to his 2025 haul, which makes you think he is prepping for whatever the bogus tampering charges will be because James Franklin couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

    This one isn’t as clear as a win as trading for the 2025 3rd round pick was. Their 4th moved down to the 5th, and they moved their 6th up 9 picks. We will have to see where that 4th round pick falls. But it’s probably a smart move.

    Grade- B

  • 5th Round- Pick 152- WR- Ainais Smith- Texas A&M

    The Eagles needed another WR. Their depth behind AJ Brown and Devonta Smith was terrible. Enter Ainais Smith. Smith drew some comparisons to Deebo Samuel, in that he can kind of do it all as a WR. They used him as a standard pass catcher, but also found other ways to get him the ball in space, including with rushes out of the backfield.

    Add on that he is a return specialist, and it seems like good value in the 5th round.

  • 5th Round- Pick 155- LB- Jeremiah Trotter Jr.- Clemson

    They did it. They took the Ax Man’s son. The Eagles got a guy many Eagles fans would have been happy to see with their 3rd round pick.

    If you are expecting him to be his dad, don’t. he is a different kind of LB. For one, he is much smaller. One of the big knocks on trotter Jr, and why he fell to the 5th round, is is slender build. Will he hold up as a LB at this level? we will find out. But he is a smart, dependable LB, who can riush the passer as easily as he drops back into coverage.

    Dont expect him to be a Super Star, but he can stabilize a position of need for the Eagles. And in the 5th round, it is amazing value.

    Grade- A

  • 5th Round- Pick 172- OG- Trevor Keegan- Michigan

    If its an O-Lineman that Jeff Stoutland singled out, I love the pick. Keegan gave up 0 sacks last season. That is despite playing in the BIG 10 and going up against prolific competition. Keegan might be able to push for the starting RG job this year. If not, he is at the very least a solid backup plan. Dickerson has missed time here and there, so having solid backups is smart. Either way, great pick in the 5th round.

  • 5th Round-Pick 185- WR- Johnny Wilson- Florida State

    The Eagles double-dip at WR. First, they get their blazing deep threat, now they get a 6ft 7 giant in Johnny Wilson. I don’t know too much about him., but the ESPN crew gushed about him., Saying he can run any route, has an unreal work ethic, and that mistakes never phase him. They even compared him to Brandon Marshall as a player.

    If he is half as good as the player they described, they got a steal. I also saw Andrew Dicecco, who I trust with day 3 players more than anyone, sing his praises and say it was a steal. So I guess it was a good pick.

    Grade- A

  • 6th Round- Pick 190- C- Dylan McMahon- North Carolina State

    With their final pick, they went with a center. They drafted Jason Kelce 191st overall. The year he retires, they take McMahon 190th.

    McMahon does have some similarities. both were considered great athletes coming out of college but had knocks for physical limitations. for Kelce, it was his size. For McMahon, it is short arms.

    They aren’t relying on this guy to replace Kelce. they will ask him to back up Jason Kelce. And by all regards, he should be a good backup. They needed OL depth and got it.

  • What Did They Miss?

    Overall, it was a great draft. But you can never address every need. We talked about them needing a TE, and they never got one. More importantly, they didn’t get the future replacement for Lane Johnson. Luckily Lane still has a couple years left at least, so they have time. Otherwise, they hit most of their needs. They got two DBs, a 3rd RB, two more WRs and OL depth.

    Depending on how they plan to use Cooper DeJean, they may still need a Safety. But they addressed their needs about as well as we could hope.

    Overall Grade- A
