Opinion: The Graphic Predicts the 2024 NFL Season (Super Bowl LIX)

In a rampage from the start, the Eagles stormed their way through the Washington Commanders for a 55-23 win in the first matchup of the weekend. The offseason acquisition of running back Saquon Barkley paid dividends for Philly, as both Barkley and quarterback Jalen Hurts rushed for three touchdowns, leading the Eagles to their second Super Bowl appearance in the last three seasons, according to ESPN.
