The Eagles can secure home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs with a win over the Raiders. The last time most Eagles fans saw Oakland, threw seven touchdowns on a sunny day in November 2013. That was a much different team, however, and the Raiders will present the Eagles with a number of challenges on both sides of the ball come Christmas night.
Defensively, the Raiders’ strength is up front. The numbers do not paint a pretty picture, but on film, the personnel and the scheme display a much different persona. This team is aggressive and very talented.
