Don't tell Carson Wentz the Eagles are a playoff longshot

PHILADELPHIA - Carson Wentz is not going to win the Super Bowl title this season that his backup won last season, and odds are he is not going to reach the postseason, either. ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI) gives the Philadelphia Eagles a 17.8 percent chance of making the playoffs, which means there is an 82.2 percent chance Wentz will be just as miserable sitting at home next month as he was last winter sitting on his team's bench.

Wait, didn't Wentz say all the right, team-centric things about Nick Foles and the historic run the Eagles made without their injured franchise player?
