Week 9 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 during their bye week.

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. Anyway, i.

It's also probably not the Giants, who are 2.5 games behind the Eagles in the standings. If you were to put an over-under on the number of games the Giants might win the rest of the season, what would it be? 2.5?

So that leaves the Football Team, who beat the Eagles Week 1, and who at least have a very good defensive line. The Giants have no such scary roster component, other than Saquon Barkley, who as you know, is done for the season. 

than the Giants overall, seeing as the Giants have at least been competitive in all but one game this season, and they already beat the Football Team this year. But clearly, the better outcome for the Eagles' chances of winning the division this season is a Giants win.
