Birds With Friends: A show about the Philadelphia Eagles

Superb Owl Quacketology With Fran Duffy

·1 hr 3 min·5 clips
Fran Duffy joins to decide 32 quirky prop bets for the Eagles-Chiefs Super Bowl in a game called 'Superb Owl Quacketology'.
The episode begins with hosts Bo Wulf, Zach Berman, and Marissa Dunn introducing Fran Duffy, the Eagles' 'Eagle Eye in the Sky' analyst, as a repeat guest. They launch into 'Superb Owl Quacketology,' a bracket-style game where they debate 32 potential Super Bowl outcomes, with Fran as the final decider. Early matchups include Haason Reddick out-sacking Chris Jones, Jalen Hurts breaking the Super Bowl quarterback rushing record, and Greg Cosell mentioning he studied the Super Bowl MVP in college on a postgame podcast. Fran provides detailed analysis on Reddick's recent dominance and the Chiefs' offensive line matchup. They discuss Jalen Hurts' rushing ability, noting he has topped 62 yards four times this season. The hosts touch on news updates, including punter Arryn Siposs' return to practice and Josh Sills being placed on the commissioner's exempt list. Fran explains how the Chiefs' defense has shifted to more zone coverage this year, which could affect the Eagles' deep-passing game. They debate whether Patrick Mahomes could complete 80% of his passes or if an Eagles cornerback will score a touchdown. The conversation includes lighter moments, like Bo potentially making a 'public media enemy' during Super Bowl week and Jason Kelce's baby name rhyming with Marissa's future child's name. Fran shares insights on Travis Kelce's matchup against the Eagles' defense and Milton Williams' improved play. The episode concludes with the quacketology final, where 'Bo makes a public media enemy' beats 'A.J. Brown scores a touchdown with a Chiefs defender on the ground.' Fran promotes upcoming Eagle Eye in the Sky and Journey to the Draft podcasts before signing off.
