Here's some of the comments:
Do the Philadelphia Eagles have a chance at winning the Super Bowl this year?
Yes, the Philadelphia Eagles most certainly have a good chance of winning the Super Bowl. They were tied with the Kansas City Chiefs for the best regular season record last season (14-3) while being the clear-cut number-one team in the NFC.
According to ESPN's FPI Super Bowl odds, the Eagles have the best chance of winning with 13.9%.
Philly lost many key players from a season but also gained a few notable players. They acquired RB D'Andre Swift, S Terrell Edmunds, and Georgia defensive standouts Nolan Ryan, Jalen Carter, and Kelee Ringo. They will also bring back Jason Kelce this season.
Philadelphia has one of the best, most deep rosters on paper, and should be a contender for the Super Bowl this season.
