The Philadelphia Eagles sit atop many power rankings across respective outlets. Despite losing several defensive talents, there are many that are picking the Eagles to get back to the Super Bowl. However, one person who isn't is a former Eagles Super Bowl winner.

Speaking on his podcast Green Light, Chris Long picked the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to get to the Super Bowl over the Eagles.

“The team that is easiest for me to place in the Super Bowl is on the NFC side, OK?” Long said. “I would say the Bucs are going to the Super Bowl this year."

The Bucs have been a bit of a thorn in the side of the Eagles in recent years. Jalen Hurts is 1-4 against Tampa Bay, including two losses in the postseason. Should the Eagles want to avoid any team, it's the Bucs and Todd Bowles' defense that consistently gives them fits.
