Pros and cons of the Eagles’ 2018 schedule

The Eagles’ 2018 schedule is out (click here) and my first impression is ... it’s not too bad. Let’s take a closer looks at the pros and cons.

  • No better start to the season than opening at home as the defending Super Bowl champs. Lincoln Financial Field will certainly be juiced for the Falcons game.
  • The Eagles will have extra rest heading into the following games: Week 2 at the Buccaneers (Eagles coming off kickoff game), Week 7 versus the Panthers (Eagles coming off Thursday Night Football), and Week 10 versus the Cowboys (double bonus: Eagles coming off bye and Dallas coming off Monday Night Football).
