"The Eagles have the ninth-easiest remaining strength of schedule in the NFL, according to ESPN's Football Power Index. They play the 2-11 Las Vegas Raiders at home Sunday. Two of their final three games are against the 3-10 Washington Commanders, sandwiching a Dec. 28th trip to take on the 9-4 Buffalo Bills."
"Holding a game-and-a-half lead over the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East, Philadelphia has a 91.5% chance to win the division, a 25% chance to advance to the conference championship and a 12% chance to make it to the Super Bowl, per FPI. If the season ended today, they'd be the No. 3 seed in the NFC and host a playoff game."
"I might catch some slack for this: The first six years of my football career, I made it to the playoffs one time. There are a lot of teams who would love to be in our position right now at 8-5,"
Season narratives have split between the 2023 Eagles collapse and the 2024 championship, creating fan uncertainty amid a recent three-game skid. The recent slide has evoked memories of the prior late-season downturn, but statistical indicators favor stability. Remaining opponents include the 2-11 Raiders, two games versus the 3-10 Commanders and a Dec. 28 trip to the 9-4 Bills, producing the ninth-easiest remaining schedule. FPI projects a 91.5% chance to win the NFC East, a 25% chance to reach the conference championship and a 12% chance to reach the Super Bowl. If the season ended today, Philadelphia would be the NFC's No. 3 seed and host a playoff game.
