Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux rips Eagles fans with incendiary comments that could backfire
'Is it true that Eagles fans are actually, like, not smart?' Thibodeaux asked Hart from an ice bath on a recent episode of the comedian's 'Cold As Balls' show.
'There are statistics that you guys are literally f—ing idiots.'
Hart panned to the camera with an incredulous look as Thibodeaux kept going.
'Like, no bulls–t, I know you're one of them, so I get it. Like, 2.2 [GPA], I get it,' the star pass rusher told Hart, a Philadelphia native and diehard Eagles fan.
The Giants, of course, finished last season 3-14 and went 0-2 against Philadelphia, which won its second overall Super Bowl with former Big Blue first-round pick Saquon Barkley starring in the backfield.
In Thibodeaux's three years in New York, the Giants have a combined record of 18-32-1. The Eagles have gone a combined 39-12 over the same stretch.

Nonetheless, Thibodeaux seemed to be enjoying the lighthearted banter with Hart on the podcast, which released April 29.
Some fans on social media seemed to appreciate the trash talk.

'No lies detected,' said one user on X, and another wrote, 'Hell yeah, KT, roast him.'
Others, not so much.

'They're just gonna make him hate them even more now lmao,' said another user.
Outside of the anti-Eagles ribbing, the two discussed Thibodeaux's football journey, played a game of chess and debated which position Hart would play in Philly's trademark 'tush push' – all while sitting in side-by-side ice baths.

The Eagles and Giants will face off on 'Thursday Night Football' in Week 6 – where Thibodeaux will get the chance to back up his jab with a big game.
If that doesn't happen? The star pass rusher will surely be reminded of his comments by the ever-rabid Philly faithful.

Eagles-Chiefs Super Bowl rematch would be a wise bet
An Eagles-Chiefs Super Bowl rubber match certainly isn't out of the realm of possibility. Who's feeling overwhelmed (in a good way)? Training camp has wrapped up, and there's so much information and theory to absorb that it's hard to keep up. The Philadelphia Eagles' first two preseason games didn't provide enough of a preview. It's difficult to resist the urge to look ahead to the Week 1 regular-season opener. There's a consuming thought that says 'Bring on the Dallas Cowboys.' While that's natural and healthy, the initial 53-man roster hasn't been introduced yet. Maybe it's time to 'woosah' or something, stick to the one-step-at-a-time approach. A healthy balance is possible. We can enjoy the journey and make educated guesses about who might represent the NFC and the AFC in the coming Super Bowl. After all, it isn't like we're the only ones having that conversation. How likely is an Eagles vs. Chiefs Super Bowl rubber match? Without any real effort, something Patrick Mahomes suggested in the days leading up to the most recent Super Bowl stuck with us. It didn't gain any headlines or traction, but that didn't make it any less impactful. It was something to the effect of "I think Jalen (Hurts) and I are going to play in a lot of these..." Two of the last three Super Bowls have featured the Eagles and Chiefs. Both sides have won over the other. Barring something catastrophic, there's no reason to believe the two sides can't meet on the big stage again. We've heard theories from some of this industry's top voices. They say the Chiefs' run is over. Just recently, the host of a well-known morning sports show said, in no uncertain terms, that Andy Reid and company's stranglehold over the AFC will end this season. Other outlets have said the same thing. So have podcasts and radio hosts. They see a changing of the guard, but let's examine some of the heavyweights. Sure, the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens are fully capable of winning the American Football Conference. We'd be remiss if we didn't say that Kansas City is fully capable of also beating them. That brings us to the other competing teams: the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Houston Texans, the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Los Angeles Chargers. Let's be honest. Do you put any real stock in any of those teams hoisting the Lombardi Trophy this season? Does anyone believe they're willing to wager any of those teams will dethrone the defending AFC Champions? We didn't think so. Again, the Chiefs must be mentioned in the conversation. Meanwhile, in the NFC, Philadelphia's biggest obstacles to winning the George Halas Trophy again are the Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings, and Green Bay Packers. It's hard to find genuine fear in anyone competing in the NFC South. Then again, the Eagles have had their issues historically with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Todd Bowles has found some success in limiting Jalen Hurts. Still, when the smoke clears and the dust settles, we'd place wagers on a fully healthy Eagles team over Bowles' Buccaneers in January. We'd also be willing to bet that, while the Lions, 49ers, Rams, Vikings, and Packers make worthy opponents, a fully healthy Eagles squad has the stuff to soar past them. Again, these are all conversations that can be revisited at a later date. As mentioned earlier, the Eagles still haven't introduced its 53-man roster yet. It still must be stated that rumors of Philadelphia and Kansas City's rapid declines have been overstated. A Super Bowl rubber match is undoubtedly possible. Oh, and by the way, we have the Eagles winning that game convincingly again.

Bookmakers Ponder if Eagles Have the Depth to Pull Off Rare Repeat
National Football League Bookmakers Ponder if Eagles Have the Depth to Pull Off Rare Repeat Published Aug. 21, 2025 12:07 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link The world champion Philadelphia Eagles are aiming to do what only two NFL franchises have accomplished since the turn of the century. That, of course, is winning back-to-back Super Bowls. Tom Brady and Bill Belichick's New England Patriots pulled off the historic feat in the 2003 and 2004 seasons, while Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid's Kansas City Chiefs recently ran it back in 2022 and 2023. That's it. Philadelphia kept a ton of its core intact, but every champion goes through offseason subtractions. Offensive lineman Mekhi Becton, pass rushers Josh Sweat and Milton Williams, and cornerbacks Darius Slay and Isaiah Rodgers all left in free agency. Eagles lifer Brandon Graham retired, too. Nick Sirianni also lost offensive coordinator, designer and playcaller Kellen Moore, who took a head coaching job with the New Orleans Saints. Got all that? The Eagles remain one of the most talented teams in the NFL, per Las Vegas oddsmakers, and they're right near the top of Super Bowl betting boards at every sportsbook. But their depth just ain't what it used to be. And life's different at the top because you're prone to catch other teams' best shots. ADVERTISEMENT "The league is set up for parity," Westgate SuperBook vice president of race and sports John Murray told me from his Vegas office. "It's very difficult to repeat and the only teams who've done it had first ballot Hall of Famers at head coach and quarterback. There's very little separating the top teams every season and so many of the recent playoff games and Super Bowl have come down to the final play or two. "I'm sure the league and TV networks like it that way." Parity or not, the Eagles remain formidable. They're my third-highest power-rated team in the NFL and are still good enough to fly "Over" 11.5 wins. That's because most of their high-octane offensive talent is back in the mix. Star running back Saquon Barkley surged for 2,005 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground and added another 278 yards and two scores through the air. He's currently favored to win Offensive Player of the Year at around 6/1. One could wonder, though, is it smart to try and repeat that? Between the regular season and postseason, Barkley touched the ball 482 times. Sheesh. "They'll have to do something about Saquon and the potential wear and tear on his body," Murray said. "He's such a valuable asset for them. We've seen it before with running backs. Even the great ones eventually fall off a cliff." If Philadelphia wants to be the first NFC East team to win back-to-back divisional crowns in 20 years, they'll have to hold off a rising Washington Commanders squad with budding star quarterback Jayden Daniels and an aggressive front office that believes last year was no fluke . The Commanders might live to spoil the party. "I think so, too," Murray admitted. "It's been a tumultuous offseason in Dallas and they have all new coaches. New York isn't a realistic threat to compete. It really comes down to Philadelphia and Washington. The Commanders have a solid front office, good staff and a potential superstar quarterback. "The focus there is putting Daniels in a position to take the next step. If it all works out, it wouldn't shock me if they won the division." At the end of the day, it's difficult to get excited about betting last year's Super Bowl champion to do big things the following year. Every bettor knows they're legit, and every bookmaker knows there's an appetite to bet 'em. Value is almost non-existent. As someone who was gobbling up Philly stock last summer, I find myself staying away this season. The Birds were 7/1 to win the NFC and 15/1 to win the whole enchilada last August. Their current prices are half that. Thanks, but no thanks. Sam Panayotovich is a sports betting analyst for FOX Sports and the BetMGM Network. He previously worked for WGN Radio, NBC Sports and VSiN.

49ers Predicted to Disrupt 2025 NFC Playoff Picture
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. NFL predictions will start to fly out in the coming days and weeks before the start of the regular season. A very popular way predictions are made is through projection models. More news: Bold Bijan Robinson Prediction Could Skyrocket Falcons' 2025 Season A new projection model was shared by The Athletic for the NFC conference, which paints an obvious and very surprising picture. The Philadelphia Eagles have the highest win total at 10.9 wins, along with an 85.7 percent chance to make the playoffs and a 7.6 percent Super Bowl winning chance. Despite it being obvious the Eagles should make some noise in the NFC, the runner-up on this list is quite shocking. According to this projection model, the San Francisco 49ers are in for a huge year. The 49ers have been given 10.4 wins, a 73.3 percent chance to make the playoffs, and a 6.5 percent chance of being in the Super Bowl. Head coach Kyle Shanahan speaks to media during San Francisco 49ers media availability ahead of Super Bowl LVIII at Hilton Lake Las Vegas Resort and Spa on February 08, 2024 in Henderson, Nevada.

Photo byRead more: Report: 49ers Pull Off Massive Trade With Chiefs to Land Second-Round Pick WR This projection may or may not have been done when the 49ers began to lose offensive players nearly every day. So far, the offensive players that are set to miss time are: • Brandon Aiyuk: ACL recovery, out until at least Week 6 • Jauan Jennings: Calf issue + seeking new deal • DeMarcus Robinson: Suspended 3 games • Jordan Watkins: High-ankle sprain • Jacob Cowing: Re-aggravated hamstring That said, the 49ers did pull off a massive trade, bringing in Skyy Moore from the Kansas City Chiefs. Moore should line up with Ricky Pearsall to give the team some semblance of playmakers. To be fair, the 49ers were in the Super Bowl during the 2023 season and had a huge misstep in 2024. This was likely due to the injuries the team sustained, which could be an issue that rears its ugly head again. Still, Brock Purdy and company are dynamic when everyone is healthy. Could the 49ers make some noise in the NFC? The short answer is, yes. However, they will need a lot of help on the offensive side of the ball to do so. For more on the 49ers and NFL, head to Newsweek Sports.
