Jason Kelce Predicts Philadelphia Eagles Will Dominate Playoffs

Jason Kelce, the former center of the Philadelphia Eagles, expressed strong confidence in his former team’s chances of success in the upcoming NFL playoffs. During the “NFL on ESPN” coverage on January 3, 2026, he stated that he believes the Eagles are well-positioned to secure another Vince Lombardi Trophy. Kelce’s insights reflect his enduring connection to the team, having spent his entire NFL career in Philadelphia.

Kelce highlighted the Eagles’ formidable roster, particularly praising quarterback Jalen Hurts. His remarks come as the team enters Week 18 of the 2025 NFL season with a record of 11-3. The Eagles currently sit in a strong position to claim the No. 3 seed in the NFC, with a potential to rise to No. 2 if they secure a victory against the Washington Commanders and the Detroit Lions defeat the Chicago Bears.

“I don’t think that there’s a team out there that I have more confidence in than the Philadelphia Eagles,” Kelce said. He also noted that the Eagles will face an advantage as they contend with teams arriving from the West Coast, allowing for a tactical edge due to travel and rest considerations.

The Eagles have demonstrated their competitive edge recently, winning three consecutive games, including a narrow 13-12 victory over the Buffalo Bills in Week 17 at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. This recent success has further fueled Kelce’s belief that the Eagles can repeat their Super Bowl triumph.

As the playoffs approach, the focus intensifies on the Eagles’ ability to capitalize on their current momentum. With strong performances and the backing of former players like Kelce, Philadelphia is poised to be a formidable contender in the postseason.
