Stop calling the Eagles 'overrated.' SuperBowlLVII | FlyEaglesFly
Super Bowl week is the best. It’s a celebration of two champions, the two best teams in football, and two teams who have earned the right to play for the biggest prize in American professional sports: a Lombardi Trophy.
The Eagles are not overrated. Not even close. Is it too simplistic to say that teams do not go 14-3 by accident? Can I just end this article by saying that teams do not luck into the best record in the NFL and a Super Bowl berth? Common sense should rule the day here. No? Okay, fine. Philadelphia’s performance, coaching, and roster all indicate that they are one of, if not the best, team in the NFL.
In addition to this, while Philadelphia’s underlying metrics suggest they should have regressed to the mean slightly this season, they do not paint the picture of the Eagles as a mediocre team. Philadelphia’s Pythagorean wins expectation, which measures how many games teamshave won based on their point differential, had them winning approximately 12 games, good for third best in the NFL by the model.
