Overview
- The Eagles enter Sunday at 10-5 and third in the NFC, with Yahoo estimating a 92% chance they finish as the No. 3 seed.
- A victory in Buffalo guarantees Philadelphia cannot drop to No. 4 and preserves a path to No. 2 that extends into Week 18.
- The No. 2 scenarios outlined by analyst Deniz Selman include: win out with Chicago losing twice; or win out with Seattle losing twice, San Francisco losing to Chicago, and the Rams losing once; or win once with Chicago losing twice and Green Bay going exactly 1-0-1.
- Key results to monitor include Seahawks at Panthers, Bears at 49ers on Sunday night, Packers vs. Ravens, and Rams at Falcons, which collectively shape remaining paths.
- If Philadelphia is locked into the No. 3 seed before the finale, the team could opt to rest starters against Washington in Week 18.
