PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles officially have a path toward defending their Super Bowl championship. With the NFL schedule being released this week, the Eagles know when they will play their 2025 opponents on a schedule that looks daunting on paper.
Since the Eagles are in the NFC East, the schedule rotation has Philadelphia playing the NFC North — a division that had three teams win 11+ games last season (and two 14+ win teams). The Eagles are also facing the AFC West on the intraconference slate (a division that had three playoff teams last season). Since the Eagles won the NFC East, they’ll play the division winners of the NFC South (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), NFC West (Los Angeles Rams) and AFC East as their 17th game (Buffalo Bills).
Of course, the NFC East is daunting as well. The Washington Commanders faced off against the Eagles in the NFC Championship game last season, and the NFC East champion from the previous season has failed to repeat as division champions over the last 20 seasons (the Eagles from 2001-2004 were the last repeat champions).
The Eagles certainly have a daunting schedule in 2025, given that the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Washington Commanders (twice), Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers highlight the slate. Philadelphia has the fourth-toughest opponent win percentage in the NFL based on last season’s record (.561), which resulted in plenty of prime-time games as a result.
Let’s break down the Eagles schedule, along with some quirks and predictions for each of the games:

Patriots 2025 NFL schedule: Observations, notable quirks, predictions for all 17 regular-season games
Getty Images The New England Patriots may be on the doorstep of finally crawling out of the basement in the AFC. After consecutive 4-13 seasons and failing to reach the playoffs in four of the last five years, things are looking up in Foxborough. This offseason, the Patriots brought in Mike Vrabel as head coach and went on a spending spree in free agency, which fetched the likes of defensive tackle Milton Williams, wide receiver Stefon Diggs and cornerback Carlton Davis, among others. New England also solidified key areas of need in the NFL Draft, most notably selecting LSU left tackle Will Campbell No. 4 overall. All that paired alongside promising second-year quarterback Drake Maye at the helm, and the Patriots are suddenly a sleeper pick to reach the postseason in the AFC. Now, we know the exact path Vrabel's team will go […]
