The Eagles’ 2024 NFL schedule has been revealed, and like the other 31 teams in the league, fans and prognosticators are taking turns predicting where Philadelphia will finish and with what record.

Overall, the Eagles will face seven playoff teams and four NFC squads that made the postseason, but it’s not the most challenging schedule in the league, and Eagles Wire predicts Philadelphia will finish 12-5.

There are storylines galore surrounding each contest, and we’re looking at one storyline for each game.
