The Super Bowl Shuffle is about to take a West Coast trip.
Yes, the Eagles have been most impressive in racing out to an unlikely 10-1 record.
They are not just beating teams. They are embarrassing them. They have now run off a string of four straight wins in which they posted run-away, 20-point wins.
And they are thoroughly enjoying themselves along the way. They are taking the touchdown celebrations to new heights (or lows if you are like me and are not a fan of such displays). On Sunday alone, as they rolled over the Bears, they had a family photo celebration; a fairly elaborate bowling scene in which they all fell down like pins; and, of course, an appearance late in the game of the electric slide. The only thing missing was the embarrassed bride and groom.
But the road gets a tad tougher now.
I know, you can only play the teams that are on the schedule. But the last month has not exactly seen murderer's row in the Eagles' path.
That changes this week.
They fly to Seattle for a Sunday night prime-time test vs. the Seahawks.
Then they will spend the week in L.A. preparing for a match with the very hot Rams.
That contest will feature a showdown between the No. 1 pick in last year's draft, QB Jared Goff, and the Birds' all-everything Carson Wentz.
It says here the Eagles go one for two on the West Coast. I think they lose to Seattle and prevail vs. Goff and the Chargers.
I hope they make me a liar.
