The Philadelphia Eagles’ 2022 schedule is set, so now we’ll take a deeper look at the advantages and disadvantages of this year’s slate of games. <\/p>\n
For quick reference, here’s a snapshot of the Eagles ‘schedule, via the Eagles’ Twitter account:<\/p>\n
In recent years, the Eagles have generally gotten favorable schedules. This year, I believe the disadvantages caught up a bit.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Because we already knew who the Eagles’ opponents were going to be this year, we already knew they had a weak schedule, at least on paper. The Eagles ‘2022 opponents had a combined record of 133-154-2 (0.464) in 2021. Here are the Eagles’ opponents, and their 2021 records. I also added in point differentials.<\/p>\n
