Eagles watching NFL Weekend plus Sixers and Flyers action

Welcome to NFL Wildcard Weekend and there is a full slate of games that you can hear on 973 ESPN Radio starting Saturday coverage at 4pm!  The Eagles, who finished the regular season with the best record in the NFC thanks to their win on Sunday over the Giants to get their win total to 14, they will be watching this weekend like you and me, waiting to see who they will face in the divisional round next weekend.  Securing a first-round bye gives the players extra time to get healthy and capitalize on home field advantage throughout the playoffs. This weekend in The Locker Room with Billy Schweim we will get you ready for all the football action and preview all six playoff games. 

The Flyers have won six of their last seven games thanks to their surprising win this week against the Washington capitals.  Since returning from their Christmas Break, the Orange and Black have pumped in 29 goals and Forward Travis Konecny is on fire: In his last 10 games, he has 10 goals and eight assists!  The Flyers have been fun to watch lately thanks to their scrappy play and we will examine why they’ve been playing well recently.

The Philadelphia 76ers have reached the midpoint of the season with a 25-16 record and are currently in  5th place in the Eastern Conference Standings, five games behind the Boston Celtics ahead of Friday Night's action.  The Sixers start a five-game road trip on Saturday in Utah as they travel around the Western Conference and look to continue to stay injury free while playing good basketball.
