they're not on the schedule. they face them in 2019 though.

 

[Leasy]

fakkit ass Cowboys at home

 

[FAH1223]

Vikings

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Is there a set formula for how the league orders a schedule like how they have a set formula to set up who each team plays?

 

[Box Factory]

Doesn't matter really

Nobody is coming to Philly on the night they raise the SuperBowl banner and beating the greatest team in the history of groups of human beings trying to accomplish things

 

[Mentch15]

Carolina

 

[El Bombi]

The Giants is their archrival.

 

[Jplaya2023]

Minnesota

yeah.

3 division rivals x 2 (home and away)
you face all the teams in one division in your conference. it goes on a rotation every 3 years. (2 at home, 2 away)
you face the team that finished in the same division rank as you from each of the other two divisions in your conference. ie. if you won your division, you face the division winners from the other two divisions in your conference. (1 at home, 1 away)
you face all the teams in one division not in your conference. it goes on a rotation every 4 years (2 at home, 2 away)

for the eagles this works out to be:

giants, redskins, cowboys x 2
falcons, panthers, @buccaneers, @saints
vikings, @rams
colts, texans, @titans, @jags

 

[mikishere]

Vikings or Falcons since they are actually good teams... but the NFL will most likely put the trash ass cowboys in that slot vs us for the ratings.

lowkey i want the giants week 1 though

 

[Ian Ahbaa f/ Area51]

Minnesota.

Carson deserves his chance to beat on their ass too

 

[distinguishedNOW]

It's gonna be Giants or Cowboys.

 

[No..Money..Mo..Problems]

Jags
