2019 Campaign

My picks for the 2019 season:

W 9/8 – vs. Washington Redskins
W 9/15 – at Atlanta Falcon
W 9/22 – vs. Detroit Lions
L 9/26 – at Green Bay Packers
W 10/6 – vs. New York Jets
L 10/13 – at Minnesota Vikings
L 10/20 – at Dallas Cowboys
W 10/27 – at Buffalo Bills
W 11/3 – vs. Chicago Bears
11/10 – Bye
L* 11/17 – vs. New England Patriots
W 11/24 – vs. Seattle Seahawks
W 12/1 – at Miami Dolphins
W 12/9 – vs. New York Giants
W 12/15– at Washington Redskins
W 12/22 – vs. Dallas Cowboys
L* 12/29 – at New York Giants

So, 11-5 plus two swing games, the Pats on 11/17 at the Linc, and the Giants on 12/29 in Jersey. They could flip to a "W," making it a 13-3 campaign.


And we all know what happens when the Birds go 13-3...

Essentially there are two teams at play here, just like any other NFL team. There's the relatively healthy team, the one where no one gets hurt for too long, or the second team steps up and fills the shoes (the '17-'18 Eagles), and then there's the team that gets riddled with injuries all year (the '18-'19 Eagles).

Asking how the Birds will do is kind of a loaded question. If Team One shows up, the Birds will win the Super Bowl again. Almost everyone in the NFL picks them at number one or number two (to the Chiefs) as far as depth and talent. If Team Two has to play, well then, it's a crap shoot. They might do well, but then they have an equal chance of being 8-8.

So, it depends.
