Eagles Predictions: Carter for DPOY, Barkley's TD Quest
9 Sep
Summary
- Jalen Carter is predicted to win Defensive Player of the Year.
- Saquon Barkley is projected to score 14 touchdowns this season.
- The Eagles are predicted to win 11 games and a third straight division title.
As the Eagles prepare for their season opener, several predictions offer insight into the team's potential performance. Jalen Carter is a strong contender for Defensive Player of the Year, facing double teams but determined to prove his contract's worth. Riq Woolen is highlighted as the biggest surprise, motivated by a contract year, while Jake Elliott is surprisingly predicted to be a disappointment.
Offensively, Saquon Barkley is expected to lead with 14 touchdowns and 1,450 rushing yards. Jalen Hurts' output is projected at 3,450 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and 8 rushing touchdowns. Rookie Makai Lemon is favored as the best rookie. Jalyx Hunt is predicted to be the sack leader with 13 sacks, and Riq Woolen is anticipated to lead in interceptions with five.
The team's record is projected at 11 wins, securing a third straight NFC East title. The prediction includes a Super Bowl appearance in an even-numbered year, continuing a recent trend, though the streak is expected to end against the Rams.
