No surprises here. Jason Kelce believes that his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, will be a problem in the NFL playoffs.
The former Eagles star center expressed his supreme confidence in Jalen Hurts and company to win another Vince Lombardi Trophy during Saturday’s “NFL on ESPN” coverage of the game between the Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“The Philadelphia Eagles will be able to repeat as Super Bowl champions,” Kelce said.
It’s an unsurprising take from Kelce, who played his entire NFL career donning Philadelphia colors.
“I don’t think that there’s a team out there that I have more confidence in than the Philadelphia Eagles. And to top it off, they’re going to be facing one of these West Coast teams traveling to the East Coast with a bunch of rest this week for a lot of these starters. I feel very confident for the Philadelphia Eagles coming in.”

As things stand, the Eagles enter Week 18 of the 2025 NFL season with an 11-3 record and on track to claim the No. 3 seed in the NFC. But they can also go up as high as No. 2 if they beat the Washington Commanders and if the Detroit Lions defeat the Chicago Bears.
Winning the Super Bowl is always going to be much easier said than done, but the Eagles have been flexing their muscles of late, having won three games in a row, including a 13-12 victory over the Buffalo Bills in Week 17 at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y.
