The NFL playoffs are here. With the Philadelphia Eagles resting up and enjoying a little time off on their first-round bye, there will be four games this weekend, and three potential Birds opponents depending on how it all shakes out. They are as follows.
- MORE ON THE EAGLES
- Carson Wentz voted MVP (but not the real one)
- Donovan McNabb out at ESPN after sexual harassment allegations
- What they're saying: One stat that matters for Eagles ... and why they may have several holes to fill in offseason
- Eagles sacks-allowed tally: 2017
Saturday:
- Titans at Chiefs, 4:20, ESPN
- Falcons at Rams, 8:15, NBC
Sunday:
- Bills at Jaguars, 1:05, CBS
- Panthers at Saints, 4:40, FOX
If the Falcons beat the Rams, they will play the Eagles next Saturday at 4:35 on NBC. If the Rams beat the Falcons, the Eagles will instead play the winner of the Panthers-Saints game. In my view, the Eagles' best chances of advancing past their first playoff game would be by playing the following opponents, in order from best matchup to worst matchup:
- Falcons
- Panthers
- Saints
