EAGLESON10 are kicking off their 2022 season against the Lions at Ford Field in Detroit on Sunday. Here are our latest predictions for the first week of the NFL season:
The Eagles shouldn’t overlook the Lions but I’m not buying the Hard Knocks hype either. Maybe the Eagles won’t win another 44-6 game at Ford Field this season, but I don’t think this is going to be particularly close. I felt that way even before the Lions started dealing with some injuries to their offensive line. With that unit now pretty shaky, I expect the Eagles’ high-paid defensive line to get after Jared Goff in this game and really limit Detroit’s production.
Offensively, Shane Steichen will open up the offense for Jalen Hurts. With the addition of A.J. Brown, the offense should open the field. The Lions will have to roll coverage to wherever Brown lines up on the field. This will open up the run game for Miles Sanders and the middle of the field for Dallas Goedert.
The Eagles roster is stacked, they’re healthy, and they’re certainly hungry. If you think the Lions are going to be fired up after getting their doors blown off by the Birds last year, think about how much of a fired burned inside Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts after laying an egg in the playoffs. This has all the makings of a comfortable win. Just not too f— comfortable for Jason Kelce.Don't overthink it: the Eagles are winning this game.
