NFL fans have blasted Jason Kelce<\/a> for his ‘biased’ prediction that his beloved Philadelphia Eagles will once again go deep in the playoffs this season.<\/p>\n

Kelce played 13 seasons for the Eagles, winning a Super Bowl with the franchise in 2018, before retiring two years ago after a Hall of Fame career.<\/p>\n

Since then he has been working as an analyst for ESPN’s flagship NFL broadcast ‘Monday Night Countdown’ and was in the studio for Saturday’s crucial Bucs-Panthers and 49ers-Seahawks double header.<\/p>\n

Before the action started, Kelce and co-stars Ryan Clark and Marcus Spears were asked to give their opinions on the playoff picture with the regular season coming to a close this weekend.<\/p>\n

And Kelce backed Nick Sirianni’s Eagles, who are the reigning Super Bowl champions, to once again lift the Lombardi Trophy in Santa Clara on February 8.<\/p>\n

He said: ‘For me it’s whether the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> will be able to repeat as Super Bowl<\/a>\u00a0champions. I mean, listen, they’re rolling on all fronts right now except offense, right?\u00a0<\/p>\n

NFL fans have blasted Jason Kelce for his ‘biased’ prediction about the Philadelphia Eagles<\/p>\n

\"The <\/p>\n

The Eagles are through to the playoffs already and are resting key players for Sunday’s game<\/p>\n

‘The offensive line and running game needs to get going, but they’re getting help. They are getting Lane Johnson back.\u00a0Jalen Hurts<\/a>\u00a0is going to be running in the postseason.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘You’ve seen time and time again, he was the only quarterback with multiple three-plus touchdown runs in the postseason. He is a game change and has been great when the stars have been brightest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Cooper DeJean, this defense has been generationally great these last few weeks. They’re great tacklers, they are great in space, they get after the quarterback. They do it all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I don’t think there is a team out there that I have more confidence in than the Eagles and, to top it off, they’re going to be facing one of these West Coast teams traveling to the East Coast with a bunch of rest this week for a lot of starters.<\/p>\n

‘I feel very confident for the Philadelphia Eagles.’<\/p>\n

But fans were far from surprised that Kelce tipped his former team to do well and took to social media to criticize his analysis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One posted: ‘Surprise. Can we find and employ impartial broadcasters? At least some that try? These guys get paid huge salaries to stump for their home teams. Why should I pay any attention at all?<\/p>\n

Another replied: ‘I’m shocked Jason would say that’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" <\/p>\n

A third added: ‘OF course he is going to pick his previous team. So annoying.’<\/p>\n

‘Who would’ve guessed that one?’ another ironically asked, while another wrote: ‘No bias here whatever. None. Zero.’<\/p>\n

One fan took the opportunity to have a dig at Kelce’s brother Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs’ failure to make the playoffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They wrote: ‘Meh of course he’s biased. I’m just happy the Chiefs aren’t there.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

In fairness to Kelce, the Eagles are already through to the playoffs and will even rest some starters for their Week 18 game against the Washington Commanders.<\/p>\n

The Eagles (11-5) would earn the No. 2 seed in the NFC and could be in line to play two home games if they beat the Commander on Sunday and Chicago loses to Detroit.<\/p>\n

If not, the Eagles are the No. 3 seed and are guaranteed only to host during wild card weekend.<\/p>\n
