We now know who the Philadelphia Eagles will be playing in the playoffs. The Eagles will head down to Tampa to have a rematch with the reigning Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Bucs.

The Eagles faced Brady and the Bucs in week 6 and it didnt go over well. While the final score was close (28-22) the Eagles found themselves down 28-7 and the Bucs took their foot off the gas. The good news for the Eagles is this is a banged up Bucs team. The secondary was never quite fixed in Tampa, and the Bucs will be without Chris Godwin (injury) and Antonio Brown (being dumb enough to go on the Nelk Boys podcast.)

While we dont know what time the game will be, one would have to assume that the game will be Saturday in prime time. That is when the NFL put Tom Brady on last year during the playoffs. We will keep you updated though.

And lets never forget

UPDATE:

Scrap the above comment about Brady in prime time. The Eagles will play the Bucs at 1pm on Sunday.
