That's going to be real interesting.
That's week six against the Panthers.
But, yeah, as the Philadelphia Eagles, this is kind of the β
Real discussion that we had earlier, what's more important, the schedule of opponents or your rest?
The Philadelphia Eagles play the seventh easiest schedule of opponents.
If you look across the division, the Cowboys and the Commanders, they all play like bottom eight easiest schedules of opponents.
Their schedule of opponents are much more difficult.
But both of those teams rank top five in net rest.
the Eagles β sorry, the Commanders and the Cowboys.
Whereas the Philadelphia Eagles rank 31st in net rest at minus 15 days, exact opposite of the Chicago Bears.
They rank 31st in prep and rest.
They are β
playing six opponents that have over seven days to prepare for them, including those bi-week games that you mentioned, Simon.
So that is going to be something from a challenging perspective for them.
Weeks one to nine, they play four games with a rest disadvantage and zero games with a rest advantage.
So it starts off
difficult from a rest perspective for them.
If there is any time in the calendar that you would want to be at a rest disadvantage, though, it would probably be earlier on in the season when you're not banged up.
And so that will play into their favor later on because from weeks 10 onwards, they are plus seven days of net rest edge from weeks 10 onwards, which includes their bye week.
So that is a positive for them.
