DIRTY BIRDS SEEKING THREE

CURRENT: PHILADELPHIA (3-5-1)

TARGET: PHILADELPHIA (6-9-1)

Assuming Dallas beats Philadelphia in the Week 16 rematch as this path demands, the Eagles would need to defeat three of the following six opponents.

  • Cleveland (6-3)
  • Seattle (6-3)
  • Green Bay (7-2)
  • New Orleans (7-2)
  • Arizona (6-3)
  • Washington (2-7)

Good luck finding two more wins beyond Washington. Four of those teams are at least tied for first place in their division. And Cleveland is a load to stop. The Browns racked up 508 total yards and 307 rushing yards on Dallas.

The Eagles won’t reach the six total wins needed to top the 6-10 Cowboys.

FORECAST: PHILADELPHIA (5-10-1)
