Randy Moss Sees The Eagles As NFC Favorites Again
The Eagles ran through the NFC last year. They looked primed at one point to clinch the whole conference 3 weeks early until an injury to Jalen Hurts cost them two games. They took the one seed, and a bye-week anyway. And then in the playoffs, neither of their opponents had a chance. The Eagles beat the Giants and 49ers by a combined score of 69-14. They came up short in the Super Bowl, but they made winning the NFC look easy. And Hall of Fame WR Randy Moss thinks that could be the case again, provided the Eagles manage to do one thing.
Randy Moss joined The Best Show Ever on Friday. He was in town to promote his new Chicken place, Chick-A-Boom, which opens up this weekend in SW Philly. But he also took the time to sit down in Studio with us and talk Eagles. And he likes what he sees this upcoming season by the Eagles.
“I follow the Eagles, I love what the WR core brings. But I am interested in if they can continue to have the same running game as last year. Because if they are able to keep this running game as strong as it was last year, the sky is the limit, and I think they can represent the NFC again in the Super Bowl.”
The Eagles are betting favorites to win the NFC again at +250. So it is not too surprising to see Randy Moss pick them to win it again. But it is nice to hear. And the other reason he sees the Eagles winning it has to do with the $255 million man, Jalen Hurts.
“Underdog mentality, that is what Jalen Hurts brings to this organization, and what he brings to this city. I just believe in the leadership Hurts brings to this organization. There are a lot of good teams out there, but they don’t have the leadership in the right position. And that is at QB. “
On top of picking them to win, and praising Hurts, Randy Moss also spoke about why he likes Nick Sirianni as a coach, shared some stories from playing with Randall Cunningham, talked about what the first week of camp is like, and more.
