The Philadelphia Eagles are favorites to win the Super Bowl in what should be a tremendous fight in the NFC with other contenders such as the 49ers or the Dallas Cowboys.

After losing the big game last season against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, the Eagles have bounced back with a 10-2 record thanks to MVP performances by quarterback Jalen Hurts.

However, many experts in the NFL are not convinced they’re a championship caliber team after their latest losses facing the San Francisco 49ers at home and the Cowboys on the road.

“Toward the end of the third quarter, I’m like, what pretenders these guys were. They’re not good. Last year, the defense was smothering. It’s not. They’ve lost people at linebacker. You could just see they didn’t have the pursuit. They don’t have it. I don’t know if they’ll get it back. I know they were tired too, but I just felt like a pretender situation.”

Will the Eagles have home field advantage in the playoffs?

The Philadelphia Eagles are the No.5 seed in the NFC (10-3), but control their destiny to claim the NFC East. If they win out, they’ll win the division because of tiebreakers.

Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers are the new No.1 with a 10-3 record and have that crucial tiebreaker over the Eagles and Cowboys. The Lions (9-4) are also in the mix as the No.3 seed and the NFC South champion is almost a lock at No.4.
