AI makes game-by-game predictions for the Philadelphia Eagles' 2025 season
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is all the rage, and its uses encompass everything from music to predicting election outcomes and outlining the NFL schedule. The 2025 season can't start soon enough for the Philadelphia Eagles, who have one of the best quarterbacks, running backs, receiving groups, and tight end duos in the NFL.
They will face the gauntlet of juggernauts in the NFC North and the AFC West and division winners in the NFC West, AFC East, and NFC South. With AI being popular these days, we've now sought some additional guidance on how this season will turn out for Philadelphia. We asked Grok to make some predictions about how this season will go for the Eagles.
Here is what Grok came up with for a game-by-game prediction for John Harbaugh's team.
Week 1: Thursday, September 4: Home vs. Dallas Cowboys at 8:20 PM (NBC^)
The Eagles have holes to fill on defense, but Dallas will debut a new head coach, and Dak Prescott will play his first game in nearly a year. It's a close call, but the emotion of the ring ceremony gets the champs over the hump.
Eagles Wire prediction: Win (1-0)
What Grok predicted:
The Eagles open at home, raising their Super Bowl banner against a Cowboys team they dominated twice last season (75-13 combined score). Even with Dallas adding WR George Pickens, Philly's offensive line and home-field energy should overwhelm a Cowboys squad breaking in a new head coach. Dak Prescott's return from injury won't be enough.Prediction: Win (1-0)
Week 2: Sunday, September 14: Away at Kansas City Chiefs at 4:25 PM (FOX)
Philadelphia was in Kansas City's shoes two years ago, entered Arrowhead, and secured a midseason win. Both teams will play an emotional contest in Week 1, but the Chiefs get the nod because they are playing at home.
Eagles Wire prediction: Loss (1-1)
What Grok predicted:
Week 2: @ Kansas City Chiefs (Sun, Sep 14, 4:25 PM ET, FOX)A Super Bowl LIX rematch in Arrowhead. The Eagles crushed Kansas City 40-22 last February, but the Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, are prideful and playing at home. Philly's passing game has been shaky in big moments, and a potential letdown after the opener could tilt this one.
Week 3: Sunday, September 21: Home vs. Los Angeles Rams at 1 PM (FOX)
One week after suffering a road loss to the Chiefs, Jalen Hurts lights up the Rams at home, and Philadelphia moves to 2-1 on the season.
Eagles Wire prediction: Win (2-1)
What Grok Predicts:
Week 3: vs. Los Angeles Rams (Sun, Sep 21, 1:00 PM ET, FOX)The Rams nearly upset the Eagles in last year's snowy divisional round but couldn't stop Saquon Barkley (460 yards in two games). Philly's run game and top-ranked defense should handle a Rams team that hasn't fixed its run defense issues. At home, the Eagles rebound.Prediction: Win (2-1)
Week 4: Sunday, September 28: Away at Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 1 PM (FOX)
The Buccaneers have had the Eagles' number at home over the past three years, and there's nothing to suggest that'll change in an early Sunday affair.
Eagles Wire prediction: Loss (2-2)
What Grok Predicts:
Week 4: @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Sun, Sep 28, 1:00 PM ET, FOX)Tampa's been a tough road trip for Philly, with a 33-16 loss last season. Todd Bowles has Jalen Hurts' number (1-4 record). The early-season heat in Tampa and the Bucs' defensive scheme make this a trap game, especially after a tough stretch.
Prediction: Loss (2-2)
Week 5: Sunday, October 5: Home vs. Denver Broncos at 1 PM+ (CBS)
Week 5 was a bye in 2024, but it's the week that Philadelphia inserted Cooper DeJean into the lineup and found their mojo. The same happens for Jihaad Campbell, who assumes the throne after weeks sitting behind Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Eagles Wire prediction: Win (3-2)
What Grok Predicts:
Week 5: vs. Denver Broncos (Sun, Oct 5, 1:00 PM ET, CBS)Denver's defense is solid, but Bo Nix struggles on the road (85.8 QB rating in 2024). Vic Fangio's familiarity with his former team helps Philly's defense dominate at the Linc. The Eagles' run game wears down the Broncos.
Prediction: Win (3-2
Week 6: Thursday, October 9: Away at New York Giants at 8:15 PM (Prime Video^)
Saquon Barkley returns to MetLife Stadium for part two, but the results are the same as the Eagles get a big win on the road.
Eagles Wire prediction: Win (4-2)
What Grok Predicts:
Week 6: @ New York Giants (Thu, Oct 9, 8:15 PM ET, Prime Video)The Giants are improved but still a bottom-tier team. Philly has owned this matchup recently, and Saquon Barkley's return to MetLife Stadium fuels a motivated performance. The Giants' QB uncertainty (Russell Wilson or a rookie?) won't match Philly's firepower.
Prediction: Win (4-2)
Week 7: Sunday, October 19: Away at Minnesota Vikings at 1 PM+ (FOX)
The Vikings are an intriguing NFC North pick, and J.J. McCarthy performs well at home, but the Eagles confuse the second-year signal-caller late for a much-needed win with playoff ramifications.
Eagles Wire prediction: Win (5-2)
What Grok Predicts:
Week 7: @ Minnesota Vikings (Sun, Oct 19, 1:00 PM ET, FOX)The Vikings went 14-3 last year but start rookie J.J. McCarthy in 2025. Philly's defense, led by Vic Fangio, should exploit McCarthy's inexperience. However, Minnesota's talent and home field make it close. The Eagles pull it out late.
Prediction: Win (5-2)
Week 8: Sunday, October 26: Home vs. New York Giants at 1 PM+ (FOX)
The Giants are much improved, but Philadelphia is the beast of the East for a reason.
Eagles Wire prediction: Win (6-2)
What Grok Predicts:
Week 8: vs. New York Giants (Sun, Oct 26, 1:00 PM ET, FOX)Back-to-back Giants games favor the Eagles, who are far superior. Philly's defense shuts down New York's inconsistent offense, and Hurts exploits their secondary. A comfortable home win.
Prediction: Win (6-2)
Week 10: Monday, November 10: Away at Green Bay Packers at 8:15 PM (ESPN/ABC^)
The NFL season is barrels of emotions, and a team used to being the hunters uses the fuel from the Tush Push getting banned to batter the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
Eagles Wire prediction: Win (7-2)
What Grok Predicts:
Week 10: @ Green Bay Packers (Sun, Nov 9, 1:00 PM ET, FOX)Post-bye, the Eagles face a Packers team they beat twice last season, including a 22-10 wild-card win. Green Bay's home field isn't as daunting as it once was, but Jordan Love and a strong offense keep it competitive. Philly's run game and defense edge them out.
Prediction: Win (7-2
Week 11: Sunday, November 16: Home vs. Detroit Lions at 8:20 PM+ (NBC^)
NFL seasons are emotional swings, and Philadelphia will have key moments where things just aren't clicking. This Sunday night against a mouthy Lions team isn't one of those nights. Philadelphia digs deep and sends a message to the NFL in a shootout win over Detroit.
Eagles Wire prediction: Win (8-2)
What Grok Predicts:
Week 11: vs. Detroit Lions (Sun, Nov 16, 8:15 PM ET, NBC)The Lions collapsed in last year's playoffs and lost both coordinators, but they're still dangerous. At home, Philly's physicality and top-ranked defense (No. 1 in 2024) overpower Detroit in a statement win.
Prediction: Win (8-2)
Week 12: Sunday, November 23: Away at Dallas Cowboys at 4:25 PM+ (FOX)
Emotions are complex to maintain, and the Eagles lose a nail-biter on the road at Dallas, which is a game the Cowboys badly need.
Eagles Wire prediction: Loss (8-3)
What Grok Predicts:
Week 12: @ Dallas Cowboys (Sun, Nov 23, 1:00 PM ET, FOX)Dallas, fighting for playoff relevance, plays desperate at home. The Eagles swept them last year, but this game is tighter. Fatigue from a tough schedule and Dallas' motivation lead to an upset.
Prediction: Loss (8-3)
Week 13: Friday, November 28: Home vs. Chicago Bears at 3 PM (Prime Video)
Black Friday is a holiday for some, but a refocused Eagles team aims to enter the stretch run with a win over a surging Bears team.
Eagles Wire prediction: Win (9-3)
What Grok Predicts:
Week 13: vs. Chicago Bears (Fri, Nov 28, 3:00 PM ET, Prime Video)A Black Friday game against a surging Bears team. Philly, refocused after a loss, leans on their run game and home crowd to dominate a Chicago squad that's still building.
Prediction: Win (9-3)
Week 14: Monday, December 8: Away at Los Angeles Chargers at 8:15 PM+ (ESPN/ABC^)
Those emotions rear their ugly heads again, but thanks to a few days of extra rest, Philadelphia heads to SoFi Stadium, where they always perform well and harass Justin Herbert in a massive win over the AFC West-leading Chargers.
Eagles Wire prediction: Win (10-3)
What Grok Predicts:
Week 14: @ Los Angeles Chargers (Sun, Dec 7, 4:25 PM ET, CBS)The Chargers play a run-heavy style like Philly, but the Eagles have more talent. Barkley thrives at SoFi Stadium, and Vic Fangio's defense harasses Justin Herbert.
Prediction: Win (10-3)
Week 15: Sunday, December 14: Home vs. Las Vegas Raiders at 1 PM+ (FOX)
Pete Carroll has performed well in Philadelphia with Geno Smith and the AFC West Raiders' steal a win over the Eagles behind Ashton Jeanty.
Eagles Wire prediction: Loss (10-4)
What Grok Predicts:
Week 15: vs. Las Vegas Raiders (Sun, Dec 14, 1:00 PM ET, FOX)Chip Kelly returns to Philly as Raiders OC, but his offense struggles against Fangio's defense. The Eagles' physicality overwhelms a Raiders team led by Geno Smith and rookie Ashton Jeanty.
Prediction: Win (11-3)
Week 16: Saturday, December 20: Away at Washington Commanders at either 4:30 PM or 8 PM+ (FOX)
Philadelphia needs to refocus and send a resounding message to the Commanders in D.C. behind Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown.
Eagles Wire prediction: Win (11-4)
What Grok Predicts:
Week 16: @ Washington Commanders (Sun, Dec 21, TBD, FOX)An NFC Championship rematch. Jayden Daniels is a rising star, but Philly's top-ranked pass defense and Jalen Carter's interior pressure exploit Washington's weakened O-line (Sam Cosmi injured). A close road win.
Prediction: Win (12-3)
Week 17: Sunday, December 28: Away at Buffalo Bills at 4:25 PM+ (FOX)
Pressure burst pipes, and Philadelphia is starting to apply pressure to the league with a resounding win over Buffalo in a Super Bowl preview.
Eagles Wire prediction: Win (12-4)
What Grok Predicts:
Week 17: @ Buffalo Bills (Sun, Dec 28, 8:20 PM ET, NBC)A potential Super Bowl preview. Josh Allen and the Bills are tough at home, and Philly's passing game struggles against Buffalo's secondary. The Eagles' grueling schedule catches up, leading to a late-season loss.
Prediction: Loss (12-4)
Week 18: Date TBD: Home vs. Washington Commanders (Time and Network TBD)
A season marked by parity and upsets sees the Eagles clinch the NFC East and home-field advantage behind Tanner McKee in a win over Washington.
Eagles Wire prediction: Win (13-4)
What Grok Predicts:
Week 18: vs. Washington Commanders (TBD)The second Commanders game could decide the NFC East. Philly, at home, leans on Barkley and their elite defense to outmuscle Washington, securing the division.
Prediction: Win (13-4)
Grok final analysis:
Final Record: 13-4The Eagles finish 13-4, winning the NFC East but falling short of their 2024 mark due to a tougher schedule and defensive losses. They're battle-tested for the playoffs, likely earning a top-two seed. Saquon Barkley's dominance (2,005 rushing yards in 2024) and Vic Fangio's defensive schemes keep them elite, but repeating as Super Bowl champs will be tough.

Reed Blankenship says Eagles will maintain the swagger that C.J. Gardner-Johnson provided
Eagles safety Reed Blankenship says Philadelphia is not gonna lose that aggressiveness and swagger that Cj Gardner Johnson brought to the defense 'We are not going to lose that swag'Eagles safety Reed Blankenship says they are not gonna lose that aggressiveness that Cj Gardner Johnson brought to the defense. Reed says he wants to see each of the competitors at the other safety spot succeed and he is their biggest… The Eagles traded C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Houston Texans, but his presence in the locker room will be felt for years to come. Following Thursday's practice at the NovaCare Complex, star safety Reed Blankenship told the media that the "swagger and aggressiveness' Gardner-Johnson brought to the defense will be maintained. One of the youngest rosters in the NFL, the Eagles need to free up as much money as possible to keep their foundation together, and Gardner-Johnson was a casualty of that process. Roseman admittedly was too sentimental with players following their Super Bowl LII victory, and he isn't making that mistake this time around. Roseman likely wanted to avoid a potential contract dispute with Gardner-Johnson in preparation for paying his younger players. Cam Jurgens, Jordan Davis, Nakobe Dean, Nolan Smith, Jalen Carter, Quinyon Mitchell, and Cooper DeJean are all on rookie contracts, with Carter projected to reset the defensive tackle market next year. Andrew Mukuba, Tristin McColum, Sydney Brown, and Andre Sam will compete for the shot at replacing Gardner-Johnson, while DeJean will also see snaps at safety in base looks. A retooled defense would normally face some reservations about taking a step back in production, but most defensive units don't employ a coordinator like Vic Fangio. In his first season with the Eagles, Philadelphia (278.4 ypg) led the league in total defense for the seventh time in team history, having previously accomplished the feat in 1991, 1981, 1953, 1949, 1945, and 1944 (excludes the 1943 Steagles). Philadelphia ranked first in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game (174.2) for the second consecutive year, following its 2022 performance (179.8). Furthermore, the Eagles finished with the NFL lead in defensive points allowed per game (16.9 — their best figure since 15.8 in 2008), opponent three-and-out percentage (39.0%), and FFs (18, tied).

Eagles training camp kicks off with significant buzz centered around QB Jalen Hurts
Jalen Hurts is turning heads early at Eagles training camp I've seen Jalen Hurts practice 5 times since they won the Super BowlHe is 86/93. 93%.Simply thoughts on what this means for Hurts and the offense: Cue the overreactions, outlandish theories, and, of course, the way-too-early predictions of another deep playoff run. It's that time of year, and the Philadelphia Eagles are dealing with a familiar offseason ingredient: expectations. 94 WIP-FM mainstay Eliot Shorr-Parks has started something with his training camp and preseason Jalen Hurts passing stats. He offered a few after the second training camp practice. Hurts is off to a nice start at camp, and trust us on this. Eliot Shorr-Parks isn't the only one who has noticed. Eagles insiders are satisfied with Jalen Hurts' early showing at Eagles training camp Cam Newton can bash Jalen Hurts for social media clicks, and former Super Bowl heroes can come to his defense. How about some intel from some Eagles insiders? What are they saying? We're glad you asked. We begin with some behind-the-scenes access from NBC Sports' Dave Zangaro. "Through two practices, Jalen Hurts has looked very sharp. Over the past couple of seasons, Hurts has turned into a really good practice player and it's rare these days to see a ball hit the ground — so much so that I normally race to scribble it down in my notebook when it does. Hurts has a few particularly strong throws on Thursday. One came in 7-on-7s, when he threw an absolutely perfect ball over the outstretched arms of Trotter into the hands of Dallas Goedert down the field. Just perfect placement despite Trotter being in good position." That won't conjure up any complaints. Here's more from the NBC Philly reporter. "Another great throw came on a pass to DeVonta Smith in team drills on a play where Hurts rolled to his left and delivered a bullet to No. 6 about 25 yards down the field. It's a throw that Hurts probably isn't able to make earlier in his career. We probably don't spend enough time talking about Hurts in practice because; for the past two years, he's been really sharp. It has been noticeable already two days into this camp and it seems like the offense hasn't lost a step with a new coordinator." Jimmy Kemski offers a few post-practice notes of his own. He was also impressed with Hurts. "Jalen Hurts was sharp today, as he was all spring. He may have only had one or two passes hit the ground, connecting repeatedly with Dallas Goedert and DeVonta Smith. Two highlights:1. He hit DeVonta on an accurate downfield throw (15-20 yards) while rolling to his left. 2. He threw a perfectly placed ball over the middle to Goedert, who was well covered by Jeremiah Trotter. The ball was out in front of Goedert, and Trotter juuuust barely missed getting a fingertip on it. If that pass were any further in front of Goedert, or behind him, it's probably incomplete." Let's make long stories short. It's summertime. We haven't reached August yet. Hurts is wearing a red jersey, and tackling isn't permitted. Still, everyone has to be pleased with the evaluations of Jalen Hurts so far. It's early, and reading too much into things is par for the training camp course, but Eagles fans can rest easy. The Birds are focused. Jalen Hurts is back, and the ball is barely touching the ground. Take that, Cam Newton! Rumors of Hurts' demise have been greatly exaggerated.
