Week 10 non-Eagles rooting guide

The Philadelphia Eagles are not a good football team. Fortunately for them, neither are any of the other teams in the NFC East, as the Birds are currently leading the division at 3-4-1.

NFC East	W	L	T	GB
Eagles	3	4	1	-
Football Team	2	6	0	1.5
Giants	2	7	0	2.0
Cowboys	2	7	0	2.0

And so, we'll continue on plotting the ideal outcomes for other games around the league as if the Eagles have a chance to contend this season, even though, again, they aren't good. Perhaps as the season goes along the lightbulb will go on and they'll look better? That's unlikely, but possible.

Whether they become better or not, it's pretty much 4 seed or bust, so for the other NFC games around the league, it's really all about who Eagles fans should be rooting for to get the 5 seed, which would be the Eagles' first-round opponent.

Anyway, i.

: Last Sunday the Football Team lost a game in the standings as well as starting quarterback Kyle Allen. Still, they're only 1.5 games back at 2-6 (lol), so it's best if they continue to dig themselves into a deeper hole.

: Should the Packers earn the 1 seed, I would view them as a better matchup for the Eagles to have to get through at some point in the playoffs than the Seahawks. Plus, the Jaguars will be shopping for a new quarterback this offseason, so the more games they lose the better, thus keeping the Football Team (or maybe even the Giants?) from landing a blue chip quarterback prospect.

at Cardinals: Should the Cardinals become the 5 seed, I think the Eagles would have a fighting chance against them, given the records of neophyte quarterbacks in the playoffs, and the fact that it would be a warm weather team playing in 20 degree weather. Still, it's better if the Seahawks just win that division. I don't want to cover another Eagles-Seahawks first round playoff game.
