The undefeated Eagles face the San Francisco 49ers in their home opener at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday, and one ESPN analyst is heavily invested in the outcome.
Bart Scott, an ESPN NFL analyst who spent 11 seasons playing linebacker for the Ravens and Jets, said on Get Up! this week that if the Eagles defeat the 49ers, he’ll shave off one of his eyebrows.
“Everybody’s in love with Jalen Hurts this week. Everybody went out and bought jerseys,” Scott said. “But I bet what the Philadelphia fans didn’t do — they didn’t pop that tag off, they tucked it in, because this week they’re going to be returning all those jerseys.”
It’s unclear if Scott’s ESPN colleague Damien Woody, a former NFL offensive lineman who spent 12 years in the league, actually took Scott up on his bet — neither were available to comment, and the network typically doesn’t have a sense of humor about on-air wagers. But Woody did defend the Eagles and offered some insight on the team’s stout offensive and defensive lines.
“I’m a big boy, I understand line play. Them boys are elite up front on both sides of the football,” Woody said. “They got big, big dogs on the defensive line that can eat.”

The 49ers are 3-point favorites despite the game taking place in Philadelphia, but San Francisco gave up 33 points and allowed 430 total yards in their Week 1 win over the Detroit Lions. One big question is if the Eagles will be able to stop San Francisco’s running game, which racked up 131 yards on the ground despite losing Raheem Mostert for the season after just two carries in Week 1.
