NFC playoff picture: Eagles postseason clinching scenarios for Week 13

The Eagles (10-1) are set to square off against the 49ers (8-3) in the NFL’s game of the week on FOX Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET.

Philadelphia has the best record in the NFL and the first opportunity to clinch a playoff spot with four different scenarios.

On the other end of the spectrum, Arizona, Carolina, and New England could all be mathematically eliminated from the playoffs this weekend.

Let’s take a look at the playoff scenarios heading into Week 13:
