The Philadelphia Eagles efficiently handled the Las Vegas Raiders, 31-0, and got a much-needed victory to steady their season. The Eagles ended a three-game losing streak and solidified their odds of winning the NFC East.
The win also ended, at least for one week, the Eagles’ offensive slump. After averaging 16.2 points per game over the last five games, Philadelphia topped that with a 17-point first half.
What Are the Philadelphia Eagles’ Chances of Winning the NFC East and Getting the No. 1 Seed?
According to PFSN’s NFL Playoff Predictor, the Eagles have a 95.4% chance of making the playoffs and a 94.3% chance of winning the division. Philadelphia’s win keeps the Dallas Cowboys at a comfortable distance.
The Eagles have the 19th-hardest remaining schedule, according to PFSN’s Strength of Schedule metric. The Eagles’ magic number to win the NFC East is two, which can be achieved through any combination of Philadelphia wins and Dallas losses.
Philadelphia is favored to win two of the three games, according to PFSN Analytics.
- Week 16: at Washington Commanders (62.1% chance to win)
- Week 17: at Buffalo Bills (44.7% chance to win)
- Week 18: vs. Washington Commanders (65.0% chance to win)
Philadelphia can clinch as early as next week when it plays the Commanders and the Cowboys play the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Eagles are in a great position to win the division and host a Wild Card game, but their chances of being the top seed and a bye in the NFC are slim. Philadelphia’s chances of securing the NFC No. 1 seed have increased slightly to 2.1%. The last couple of weeks will determine where Philadelphia slots in the NFC bracket.
The Eagles’ primary focus over the final three games is getting their offense back to where it needs to be to compete for another Super Bowl. Three of the five previous games resulted in Philadelphia receiving a D+ PFSN’s Offense Impact (OFFi) grade.
