Eagles #1 In Their Division (10/21/2015)

But That Ain't Saying Much

Currently the Eagles are 3-3 in the NFC East. At this point they could be considered a big fish in a little pond. Statistically speaking it doesn't mean very much in the open waters that lie ahead. Nine other teams have a better record. This week the Eagles will face off against the 5-0 Panthers on Sunday (10/25/2015).

Later in the regular season they will only play against two teams that are a serious threat. The Cardinals (currently 4-2) and the Patriots (currently 5-0). This leaves six other teams with better records (currently) they'd face only in the playoffs which are not on their season schedule. If the Eagles hope to win the 'Super Bowl on February 7th 2016 they'd have to better three of those six which haven't lost a single game so far.



Can the Eagles win 10+ games it takes to assure a spot in the playoffs?
(They'd have to win at least 7 out of the 10 remaining games)

If they could, how many games into the playoffs before they'd be eliminated?
(Not too many if they even get there via 'wildcard')

Pardon me if I'm not optimistic given Sam Bradford's inconsistency.
(Even if he remains healthy)
