Philadelphia, PA – August 7, 2025
There are numbers. There are models. There are simulations. And then, there’s belief — the kind that doesn’t fit into any algorithm.
This week, a so-called supercomputer ran 10,000 simulations of the upcoming NFL season and delivered a verdict that sent ripples through the football world: the Buffalo Bills are the most likely team to win Super Bowl LX. Not the reigning NFC champions. Not the team with Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, and Saquon Barkley. Not the Philadelphia Eagles.
According to the data, the Eagles are sitting at just 5.44% odds to win it all — behind not only the Bills (15.68%) and Ravens (9.21%) but even the Buccaneers (6.98%). Apparently, the numbers think there’s a stronger chance of Baker Mayfield hoisting the Lombardi than Hurts finishing what he started last February.
“The simulation doesn’t see soul,” one Eagles coach reportedly said with a shake of the head. “It doesn’t see the fire we’re bringing back this year.”
The model factored in defensive efficiency, quarterback play, and injury projections. But what it couldn’t capture was the pain of coming up short. It didn’t calculate the sting of watching confetti fall for the other team. It didn’t include what it means to run it back with a healthier secondary, a deeper defensive line, and a quarterback who spent the offseason studying every mistake, every inch of that Super Bowl loss.
The Eagles are coming off a revenge-fueled offseason — not just restocking talent, but redefining their identity. They didn’t just sign Saquon Barkley; they sent a message to the league: We’re not done. We’re hungrier than ever.
And while the spreadsheet loves Buffalo’s arm talent and Baltimore’s efficiency, the game still has to be played. On grass. In the cold. In the noise. Under lights that don’t blink.
So let the computers calculate. Let the simulations talk.
This city doesn’t run on percentages. It runs on heart. On grit. On a fanbase that believes the best team in football wears midnight green — and has unfinished business in New Orleans come February.
“We don’t need to be picked,” said a team source. “We just need one chance. And when that moment comes — no machine is stopping us.”
