Philadelphia Eagles Schedule – NFL Football
Next up. The N.Y. Giants. One of my favorite tools in preparing for the 2013 NFL football season and to enhance your nfl wagering knowledge is to look ahead at each teams NFL schedule, and evaluate the games they will play.
2013 Regular Season Opponents
Mon, Sept. 9 @ Washington The Eagles, coming off a lousy 2012 campaign, should thank their lucky stars that iconic DC pivot Robert Griffin III likely won’t be recovered from his knee injury for this Monday-night season opener.
Sun, Sept. 15 SAN DIEGO The Chargers have almost as many existential troubles as Philly does, so this could be a winnable game for a home side that will sorely need some momentum before Week 4.
Thurs, Sept. 19 KANSAS CITY Every drop of the narrative in Philly’s third game in 11 days will be about former head coach Andy Reid’s return to the City of Brotherly Love. We’re all waiting to see how he’ll be received.
Sun, Sept. 29 @ Denver This road game in the Rockies opens a gauntlet of a mid-season schedule for the hard-luck Eagles. Yet, Philly seems to thrive when everybody counts them out.
Sun, Oct. 6 @ N.Y. Giants A short road-trip for the Eagles notwithstanding, there should be nothing easy about this clash with a hated divisional rival. I wonder how the Eagles will enjoy facing Manning brothers in consecutive weeks?
Sun, Oct. 13 @ Tampa Bay Eagles RB LeSean McCoy – one of the strengths of the team – might be bottled up versus the Bucs, who featured the league’s No. 1-ranked rush defense last season and RB Doug Martin, a great runner in his own right.
Sun, Oct. 20 DALLAS This timeless rivalry continues at Lincoln Financial Field, so expect the Philly faithful to be in an absolute frenzy when freshly-minted Dallas QB Tony Romo steps under center.
Sun, Oct. 27 N.Y. GIANTS Late October features back-to-back rivalry games for the Eagles, who will really want this one on their home turf, in an NFC East division that reminds one of a knife-fight in an alley.
Sun, Nov. 3 @ Oakland The Raiders franchise has been a mess for quite some time, so this is a game the Eagles can feel confident they can travel out west and procure a “W”.
Sun, Nov. 10 @ Green Bay Philly heads from the Bay Area to the chilly Wisconsin autumn. If all the state’s cheese constipates the road team, the aerial prowess of Packers QB Aaron Rodgers could produce the opposite effect.
Sun, Nov. 17 WASHINGTON RG3 might be back to normal by the time Philly faces the ‘Skins for the second time. That doesn’t bode well for anyone else in the NFC East. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
Sun, Nov. 24 BYE
Sun, Dec. 1 ARIZONA With Carson Palmer in the fold, Cards’ WR Larry Fitzgerald will at least some tight spirals being hucked his way, but he’ll probably see some balls sail into the arms of the Philadelphia secondary also.
Sun, Dec. 8 DETROIT The wheels came off the bus last season in Detroit; that plays into the Eagles’ hands nicely with this late-season home game.
Sun, Dec. 15 @ Minnesota Until young QB Christian Ponder can become more reliable, the most exciting part of this game might just be snow caving in the Metrodome roof.
Sun, Dec. 22 CHICAGO The “Monsters of the Midway” travel to southern Pennsylvania right before Christmas, they hope to gift-wrap a win with help from pivot Jay Cutler’s frozen ropes downfield.
Sun, Dec. 29 @ Dallas A fitting end to an intense regular season for Philadelphia. Eagles fans haven’t seen narrative this harrowing since Silver Linings Playbook.
