AI Overview
The following season, NFL Super Bowl winners have diverse outcomes, but a significant portion, about 30-40%, miss the playoffs, while many others make it but don't repeat their championship. The difficulty stems from factors like injuries, key player departures to free agency, and the increased motivation of opponents. Some defending champions, like the 2021 Rams, can even have disastrous seasons due to significant injuries to star players, while others, like the 2020 Chiefs, can make it back to the Super Bowl.

Another problem may be Saquon Barkley. He had a magnificent previous season with 345 carries gaining 2005 yards. Not debatable, the Eagles couldn't have won the Super Bowl without him.
Barkley is only 28 years old. However he's got a lot of mileage on those wheels. Especially from last season. How he will hold up this season is anybody's guess.
With all the various factors involved, I'm saying the Eagles chances of winning this upcoming season's Super Bowl are iffy.
All that being said, I am sure about this. The Eagles are the only NFL team this upcoming season with a chance to win back to back Super Bowls. Even though it may be a bit of a long shot. We shall see.
Go Eagles!!!!!
Eagles opened at -7 at home against the Cowboys. Of course in the NFL, there are no "must win" games in the first game of the season. However the Eagles really do need to win this game, favored at home against a very beatable Cowboys team.
