CBS Sports made a prediction this week for the Philadelphia Eagles that's guaranteed to make Dallas Cowboys fans angry.
Tyler Sullivan, an NFL writer for CBS Sports, made five bold predictions this week for the 2022 NFL season.
And his first prediction is that Philadelphia will earn the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC.
This offseason, the Eagles improved the roster across the board. They traded for star wideout A.J. Brown at the draft, giving Jalen Hurts a true No. 1 option alongside DeVonta Smith and tight end Dallas Goedert. That trio of pass-catchers is lightyears better than what Hurts has played with in his first two years and being in Year 2 of Nick Sirianni's system also has him poised for a leap in production. Meanwhile, they seemingly hit a home run with first-round defensive tackle Jordan Davis and stole linebacker Nakobe Dean in the third round this spring. They also recently traded for C.J. Gardner-Johnson to give the secondary a boost.
Not only is the roster better, but they have one of the easiest schedules in the entire NFL. When looking at projected win totals, Philly's schedule ranks as the second-easiest in the league. That should allow them to pile up wins and ultimately grab ahold of the No. 1 seed.
The Cowboys are entering the 2022 season with a Super Bowl or bust mentality. If Dallas doesn't reach the big game, there's a strong chance that head coach Mike McCarthy will be fired.
Meanwhile, the Eagles have quietly put together one of the best rosters in the NFC.
Philly has strong offensive weapons in DeVonta Smith, AJ Brown, and Miles Sanders. They also have a defense that should be better than a lot of folks expect.
The Eagles appear primed to make some noise this season. And it seems likes some of the national media is starting to believe in Philly — much to the dismay of Cowboys fans, of course.
