The Philadelphia Eagles are still hurting after blowing a 10-point halftime lead in last season’s Super Bowl and losing the Vince Lombardi Trophy to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
But despite losing Pro Bowl running back Miles Sanders and star defensive tackle Javon Hargrave this offseason, many are still picking them to win the NFC and return to the big game this coming season.
One of the biggest and best things they have going for them is their offensive line, which was ranked No. 1 in the NFL by analyst Warren Sharp.

Leading the way on Philly’s offensive line is center Jason Kelce, one of the league’s best at his position.
He has been named to the Pro Bowl six times, including each of the last four years, and he also has five All-Pro First-Team nods to his name.
Super Bowl LVII had some special meaning for him, as he faced off against his younger brother, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, in that contest.
At left guard is Landon Dickerson, who made the Pro Bowl in 2022, which was just his second pro season, while starting right tackle Lane Johnson made his fourth Pro Bowl and got selected to the All-Pro First Team for the second time.
Of course, the Eagles’ hopes for a world championship will largely rise or fall depending on the play of quarterback Jalen Hurts, who emerged last year as one of the league’s better signal-callers.
They will have to hold off an improved Dallas Cowboys team and a hungry and talented San Francisco 49ers squad in order to get another shot at winning it all.
