The Philadelphia Eagles have made it clear who they are rolling with at quarterback. Nick Foles is now in Jacksonville and Carson Wentz signed a four-year, $128 million extension. The Eagles are rolling the dice on a player that would have won MVP in 2017 if not for an injury.

In 2017, Wentz had 3,296 yards with 33 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He missed the rest of the season, including the Eagles' Super Bowl run, with a torn ACL. Last season, Wentz was off to another strong start before missing the final five games of the regular season. The Eagles have played four postseason games over the last two seasons and Wentz has not started any of them.

At the end of the day, the Eagles made the right choice in going with Wentz over Foles for years to come. Wentz is one of the top talents in the league and will showcase it if he can stay healthy over the course of an entire season. The Eagles will open up their 2019 season against NFC East rival, the Washington Redskins. The game is in Philadelphia where the Eagles are the largest week one favorites.

Wentz will be on the field for the first time since an injury ended his 2018 season. Here is what to expect from the Eagles' franchise quarterback.

3. Wentz's Health Will be Tested

The expectations for the Redskins are low. This should not make the league forget how strong their defense can be. With Jonathan Allen, Daron Payne, Ryan Kerrigan, and rookie Montez Sweat, Washington has a chance to torment opposing quarterbacks. This will cause Wentz to move around the pocket and prove he is healthy.

Wentz suffered a stress fracture in his back last season. Coming off a serious knee and back injury will make it difficult for the 26-year-old to move like he wants to. Eagles' fans will be holding their breathe after Wentz takes his first hit on Sunday. One of Wentz's key attributes is his ability to make plays using his legs. He will have a chance to show that he can still do that.

When it comes to quarterback play, there are not many players who can do it all. Wentz is one of those players when healthy. Even if he is not as mobile as usual, he will still have a strong game against the Redskins. Playing Week 1 at home will certainly provide enough adrenaline to dull the pain of any possible lingering injury.

2. Eagles Offense Will Fly High

Yes, the Redskins' defense is going to be good, but the Eagles offense has a chance to be elite.

The Eagles traded for Jordan Howard this offseason and added Miles Sanders in the draft. Those two will lead the backfield, but the Eagles have four running backs who could see time this season. Alshon Jeffrey will continue to be the Eagles No. 1 receiver. They brought DeSean Jackson back to Philadelphia to squeeze out any production that he has left in his career. Let's not forget Zach Ertz, who is arguably the best tight end in the NFL.

Wentz has a plethora of weapons to work with. This makes his job a whole lot easier. Despite all the weapons, Wentz is the key. He is the player that can take the Eagles' offense from good to elite level. This is a team that is trying to get back to the top of the NFC East. They earned a Wild Card spot in the playoffs last season. The Dallas Cowboys finished atop the division. The Eagles are the early season favorites to reclaim their title.

Against the Redskins, Wentz has seen success. He lost both games to Washington in his rookie season, but since then, Wentz has gone 3-0 against the division rival. In those games, Wentz has eight touchdown passes and just three interceptions. In this Week 1 match up, it will be more of the same.

1. He Leads the Eagles to a Season Opening Win

If a prediction had to be made, the Eagles will win this game 31-14. This means that they will cover the biggest spread of Week 1. The Eagles will try to establish the run in this one, but Wentz will still finish with three touchdown passes. The Eagles can use this game as a statement as they begin their run back the the playoffs.
