Eagles’ No. 2 Seed Path Set as NFL Slots Week 18 vs. Commanders at 4:25 PM

Philadelphia faces a win‑plus‑Chicago‑loss scenario for the No. 2 seed, putting Nick Sirianni’s starter plan under the microscope.

Overview

  • The Eagles are 11-5 and locked into at least the NFC’s No. 3 seed after a 13-12 win in Buffalo.
  • They can claim the No. 2 seed only with a home win over Washington and a Chicago loss to Detroit in Week 18.
  • The NFL scheduled Eagles‑Commanders and Bears‑Lions to kick off simultaneously at 4:25 p.m. ET, removing any chance to wait on the other result.
  • Nick Sirianni has not committed to playing or resting starters, keeping Philadelphia’s approach unsettled entering Sunday.
  • FanDuel opened Philadelphia as roughly a 7.5‑point favorite, and a move to No. 2 would set up a home Wild Card vs. the No. 7 Packers and at least two home playoff games if they advance.
