The Eagles are coming home on a run of eight straight wins and arguably their biggest of the regular season, with Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers up next for this Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.
The Panthers' season fell apart quickly, but they played both Kansas City and Tampa Bay tough the past two weeks, so maybe they're not so easily dismissed.
Still, there are a lot of holes in that Panthers roster, many of which the Eagles are well equipped to exploit.
Here's how our staff is feeling about Week 14 back in South Philly…

2024 REGULAR SEASON RECORD: 8-4
PICK: Eagles 36, Panthers 17
The Panthers don't have a lot of talent and for a big chunk of the season they looked like the worst team in the NFL. However, they won two of their last four, and their two losses during that span came by three points each against the Chiefs and Buccaneers. They're still playing hard, and second-year QB Bryce Young seems to be figuring some things out. The Eagles have had some ugly losses as double-digit favorites in their day (see: John Skelton, Joe Webb, etc.), so never count out an unexpected catastrophe.
With that disclaimer out of the way, the Eagles have the No. 1 rushing offense in the NFL, averaging 188.9 rushing yards per game. If they keep up that pace, they'll have the 11th most rushing yards per game in NFL history. The Panthers have the worst run defense in the NFL, allowing 166.8 rushing yards per game. They are on pace to give up the 12th-most rushing yards in a single season in NFL history.
That matchup alone is going to be too difficult for the Panthers to overcome. Expect another big day out of Saquon Barkley as he continues to make his MVP push down the stretch.

PICK: Eagles 37, Panthers 20
This will be a blowout, and a party at the Linc. The Panthers are bad, and the Eagles are Super Bowl contenders. I don't have a ton of analysis here, though I will say I wouldn't be surprised to see Saquon Barkley and the starters get some rest ahead of what should be an amazing game a week from Sunday when the Steelers come to town.

2024 REGULAR SEASON RECORD: 9-3
PICK: Eagles 33, Panthers 13
Carolina’s pass defense? Terrible. Carolina’s run defense? Also terrible. Part of me thinks this could be a tune-up game for the Birds’ passing offense, which isn’t quite firing on all cylinders compared to the rest of the facets of the team, but why get cute and mess with a clear-cut winning formula? The Panthers are dead last in the league in rushing yards allowed and 27th in yards per carry.
That would normally mean yet another gigantic day for Saquon Barkley, but I could see this one getting out of hand early enough that the team limits his touches and we get a healthy dose of Kenny Gainwell and Will Shipley at running back late.

Saquon Barkley and the Eagles' offensive line against the league's worst rushing defense? Yeah, that's a recipe for a thrashing. Could even mean a big day for Kenny Gainwell, too.
The path to a ninth straight win is pretty straightforward here.
One more thing: Bracing for Jalen Carter to go off on Sunday after getting held for like 90-95 percent of last week.
