Eagles' Playoff Picture: Current Standings and Scenarios

If the NFL season ended today, the Philadelphia Eagles would be the three seed in the NFC at nine wins and five losses. The Eagles can clinch the NFC East by defeating the Washington Commanders on Saturday.

However, if the Eagles lose, they can still win the division with a Cowboys loss to the Chargers. Should the Eagles win against the Commanders, it would be beneficial for the Cowboys to win their game to potentially hinder their draft positioning.

Currently, the NFC East standings are as follows: Eagles at nine and five, Cowboys at six, seven, and one, Commanders at three and ten, and Giants at two and eleven. The Eagles have a ninety-nine percent likelihood of winning the division, according to Inpredictable.com.

In terms of other NFC contenders, the current playoff picture shows the Rams at eleven and three, Bears at ten and four, Eagles at nine and five, Buccaneers at seven and seven, Seahawks at eleven and three, 49ers at ten and four, and Packers at nine, four, and one.

The Vikings sit at six and eight, while the Cowboys are at six, seven, and one. The report also discusses the implications of various games, including the Rams versus Seahawks, and the importance of the NFC North matchup between the Packers and Bears, as well as the Buccaneers versus Panthers game.

Additionally, the Eagles have a vested interest in the outcome of the Jets versus Saints game, as they own the Jets' third-round pick. This playoff picture will continue to evolve as the season progresses, particularly with the Eagles facing the Bills next Sunday in Buffalo.
