History
The Eagles and Bengals have faced each other 13 times. The Eagles are 3-9-1 in the series, with the tie being the infamous McNabb press conference game. The Eagles are 1-3-1 in the last five matchups since 2000. Wentz last played the Bengals in his rookie year.
Predictions
One team with a number one overall pick from 2020 at QB and one team with a number two overall pick from 2016 at QB. You would think the 2016 team would have a better record than the 2020 team.. but here we are. The Eagles need this game. They need it (insert Spongebob water meme). The Bengals aren’t as bad as people make them out to be, but they aren’t good either. The Eagles make a statement in this game that they have taken one small step forward after two leaps back. Eagles win 42-35 (zero trust in Schwartz)
