The opening of the season in 2025 NFL will probably be announced on Monday in the NBC “Today” program, followed Wednesday by the official release of the entire calendar. One of the few things we know is the Eagles Will launch the season at home on September 4.
One of the funny revelations of the week is that the Eagles will face. The Philadelphia won the Super Bowl Lix, and we want to know what the NFL has prepared for the opening of the regular season, for almost seven months.

Here is the ventilation of the most likely choice to face the Eagles on September 4 to start the season, depending on their opponents at home:

Little luck: giants, looters
THE Looters It would actually be fun. Ashon Jeanty And BROCK BOWERS are exciting offensive weapons and see Geno Smith Doing your debut in Las Vegas would be intriguing. However, no. We can do better.
I would like to say that there is no chance Giant are the opponent of the opening evening, but do not underestimate the eternal belief of the NFL that each of us wants NFC East games as a bonus on each occasion. The twice that the NFL has planned a division match for traditional opening was 2008 and 2012, twice with the accommodation of New York. The League would not submit us to the Eagles that strike the giants … right?
Maybe but probably not: cowboys, broncos
Again, any other division and we would be safe from a Cowboys-Egues opens. But the NFL has not received the message that we do not define all our clocks by everything that the NFC East does. We will see.

THE Broncos are a fiery team that made the playoffs last season and would give us a decent show. But there is not many history between the teams and it does not have as much juice as some of the other games.

Would be fun: commanders, bear
Ok, now we are going somewhere. Again, the Commanders Would be outside the board of directors if they played in one of the other seven divisions, but the NFL may not be able to help itself. And it's not like it would be a bad match; Commanders were the only team to beat the Eagles since the beginning of October at the Super Bowl. Jayden Daniels Always worth surveillance. It seems better as a first season match, but I cannot say that the NFL will not open it. NFC is and everything.

THE Bear Weren't as good as commanders last season, but it would be a fun opener. Caleb Williams received each ingredient He needs to win. It would be the chief beginning of the NFL of Ben Johnson. The Bears have not been good for a long time, but they have a huge fans base and this team should be very fun to see how Williams improves during its second year. If it is the opening, I do not think that anyone is too upset, although there would be more chances of non -competitive play.
Maybe too good for the opener: the lions
The NFL surprised us last season. THE Crows were the best possible opponent for the first game, but the league usually saves the best possible match for later in the season. We connect to see any opponent against the title champion of the opening evening, after all. But last year, the NFL gave us ravens vs. Chiefs In the first match, and they delivered an entertaining game that went to the last game.

THE Lions This would be the best possible team for the opening of this year. They went 15-2 last season and we never had an Eagles-Lions match in the NFC championship match because Detroit got angry by the commanders in the Division Channel.
It would be an incredible confrontation, but the NFL must ask itself if it wants to use it for the opening evening or save it for an excellent Sunday evening match in mid-season? I guess the latter, although the NFL came out hot last season.
The favorite: Rams
It looks like Sweet Spot. THE Rams And the Eagles had a tense match in the NFC divisional round last season. It was the closest that the Eagles started to undo the way to a championship. Los Angeles has a fun team with Davante Adams be added to the offensive alongside Puka Nacua. Matthew Stafford Almost rallied his team to a victory in the playoffs over a great defense of the Eagles the last time we saw the Rams. The last time the Eagles won a Super Bowl, their opening match of week 1 (2018 season) was against a Atlanta The team that failed to beat Philadelphia during the division round.

This is the match that checks the most boxes for what the NFL usually wants in the premier opener. It is not a division match, and it is a good opponent at the qualifiers, but the league could save the best possible enemy for Fox or NBC later in the season. There is also star power on the other side and a large market.
We must have Rams at Eagles will be the opener, as long as the NFL can resist giving us an NFC East match.
