Cowboys’ Loss to Lions Eases Eagles’ Path in NFC East Race

Overview

  • Dallas’ three-game winning streak ended with a Thursday night loss to Detroit, dropping the Cowboys to 6-6-1.
  • If Philadelphia goes 3-2 over its final five games, the Eagles will clinch the NFC East even if Dallas wins out.
  • The Eagles visit the Chargers on Monday night before closing with the Raiders, two games against Washington, and a trip to Buffalo.
  • Entering Week 14, BetMGM listed Philadelphia at -900 to win the division with Dallas at +650, reflecting a strong market lean toward the Eagles.
  • NFL Next Gen Stats gives Washington less than a 1% postseason chance, leaving the divisional fight centered on Philadelphia and Dallas.
