We’re about 40 days from the 2024 NFL schedule reveal, but the world and Eagles fans already know who their opponents will be.
The league uses multiple factors to determine the year’s game schedule.
There’s a cycle of inter-conference faceoffs; each NFC division rotates through each AFC division every four seasons and the other NFC divisions every three seasons.
In addition, where a team finishes within their division dictates a same-finish matchup with one team from the opposite conference and whichever divisions aren’t in the rotation for that season.
Philadelphia previously had one of the more difficult schedules over the past two years, but 2024 will see the Eagles among the top ten easiest schedules based on win-loss percentages from last year.
Offering an early glimpse into where the Eagles could finish this season, DraftKings revealed a 2024 win total prediction for all 32 teams, and Philadelphia landed at No. 6 on the list.
Here’s where all four NFC East teams are projected to land.
Philadelphia Eagles --6th overall
