1. The Roster is Pretty Good

This might be a shocking headline, but I’m here to deliver the breaking news: The Eagles have a pretty good roster. Sometimes talent can just overwhelm a team and the Eagles have one of those rosters. They hold a top five player at nearly every position. Their team will be a great example of just naming dudes, especially if you’re a Georgia fan. Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith, Kelee Ringo, Nakobe Dean. These are just the Dawgs on the roster.

It’s truly hilarious that the Falcons beat this team. Yes, the Atlanta Falcons beat the Eagles. Thanks largely because Saquon Barkley dropped the ball, but still, that happened. Still, something flipped for the Eagles in October and they never looked back. When talent can put it together, you can win 15 out of 16 games. Now, all it takes is a guy like Patrick Mahomes to beat them, but he’ll have to be on his A-game to take down a team like this. 

2. Hurts So Good

The Eagles can win this game with motivation from listening to a John Mellencamp song. Seriously though, the Eagles will need the NFC Championship version of Hurts. You can pencil in Barkley for 20 carries and however many yards he’ll get, but Hurts is more of the wild card. He’s not a traditional wild card like Jameis Winston, but really it’s whether or not he’s an MVP candidate or an average joe. They can win this game easily with an MVP candidate, it gets a lot shakier if he’s an average joe.

If Hurts plays up to his potential that makes the Eagles offense terrifying. A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith will be the two best receiving options on the field, including both teams. Dallas Goedert has made play after play in these playoffs and Jahan Dotson even has a playoff touchdown. Still, their success all starts with Hurts. 

3. Stop Patrick Mahomes

I might’ve mentioned this guy in the Chiefs version of this post, but I think I should just say it again: This Patrick Mahomes character is pretty good at football. He hasn’t been the unstoppable version of himself in years, but that hasn’t stopped him from winning. He does the little things as good as anyone, but we’ve seen how you beat him in a Super Bowl.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were all over Mahomes in the 2020 Super Bowl and it’s what caused the Chiefs to go into ‘Protect Mahomes at all cost’ mode and sign two lineman and draft two lineman. The Eagles can counter with the guys they’ve brought in and if they can keep Mahomes from dicing them up, I can see the Eagles winning this game.
