The Eagles (8-1) are enjoying a week off thanks to the Week 10 bye, but there’s still rent to be paid, and as the team starts early preparation for a six-game gauntlet, the NFC playoff picture is starting to take shape.
If the postseason started this weekend, Philadelphia would still have the week off as the overall No. 1 seed in the NFC and the team with the best record in the NFL.
The NFC East, NFC West, and NFC North currently have two teams, while the New Orleans Saints represent the NFC South.
With the Bears and Panthers set for a Thursday night matchup, here’s an updated NFC playoff picture ahead of the Week 10 action.
1
Philadelphia Eagles: 8-1 • 1st NFC East - Bye
2
Detroit Lions: 6-2 • 1st NFC North -- Week 10 Matchup Chargers 4-4
3
San Francisco 49ers: 5-3 • 1st NFC West-- Week 10 Matchup Jaguars 6-2
