Philadelphia Eagles 2015 opponents released; Patriots, Cardinals, Lions on the schedule

Now that the 2014 NFL regular season is over we know all of the Philadelphia Eagles opponents on the 2014 schedule. The NFL schedule is a formula so you can figure it most of it out multiple years in advance.

Here are the Eagles 2015 opponents:

HOME: Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Washington Redskins, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals

AWAY: Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Washington Redskins, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Detroit Lions

The order won't be determined until the NFL releases the actual schedule. That usually comes in April.

The Eagles 16-game schedule is determined by a formula. They play the three NFC East teams twice so that is six of the games. They also play one NFC and one AFC division, which rotates each year. In 2015 that is the NFC South, which was terrible in 2014, and the AFC East, so that is eight more games. The Eagles then play the two teams from each of the other two NFC divisions that finished in the same spot in their division as the Eagles. So that would be the Lions in the NFC North and the Cardinals in the NFC West.

For now, it's fun to speculate. Obviously a lot can change from now to the beginning of next season. Teams routinely go from worst to first, and vice versa.

How are you feeling about this way-too-early look at next year's Eagles schedule?
