💥💥if the Eagles have home field advantage, it's big because the last 3 times the Eagles have had home field advantage throughout the playoffs, they went to the Super bowl. The last 2 times, the 49ers have had home field advantage throughout the playoffs. They went to the Super bowl 2019 and this past year in 2023. Now if you're on the other side of that and you're the Baltimore Ravens. They've had the best record in the NFL in 2019 and the best record in the NFL this past year in 2023. Yet they got upset at home both years by teams with worst records. Or if you're a team like the Dallas Cowboys who are just 3-6 in their last 9 home playoff games.
Yeah, the weather is a huge plus for Philly (similar to GB not losing a playoff home game until 2002). I remember the Bucs constantly losing there when it was cold till we broke the curse in 2002. But also guys like Brady struggling at Miami (he went 8-10 there) or Rodgers struggling at Tampa (3 of his 10 worst games have come at Tampa)
It´s really insane. Multi-billion dollar sports industry (not just NFL, but MLB, NBA, NHL as well as soccer, cricket etc.) and they have yet not figured out how to combat the disadvantages of playing on the road.
