Eagles will be NFC East champs with a win

Philadelphia, by virtue of their victory over the Dallas Cowboys last week, are in the driver’s seat in the NFC East. They will clinch the division with a victory over the Giants or a Dallas loss or tie.

A victory will thrust the Eagles into the NFC Playoffs as the fourth seed and will host a wild card team — either Minnesota, San Francisco or Seattle — on Wildcard Weekend. It will be their third consecutive season with a postseason berth after qualifying just once in the previous six seasons.
