Sunday afternoon reference material.
The ninth Sunday of the 2024 NFL regular season is nearly here! Let’s run through a Philadelphia Eagles-focused rooting guide for all of the Week 9 games.
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS at PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: The Eagles will be 6-2 with a win. Go Birds.
DALLAS COWBOYS at ATLANTA FALCONS: The Cowboys, who host the Eagles in Week 10, will drop to 3-5 with a loss. It’d be ideal to see them stay down in the dumps with another loss. Root for the Falcons.
WASHINGTON COMMANDERS at NEW YORK GIANTS: The Eagles can overtake first place in the NFC East if they beat the Jags and the Commanders lose. As an added bonus, a Giants win only serves to damage New York’s draft positioning. Root for the Giants.
CHICAGO BEARS at ARIZONA CARDINALS: The Bears are the less threatening team in terms of wild card competition. But it’s preferable to see a non-Niners team win the NFC West and Arizona currently holds the division lead. Root for the Cardinals.
DETROIT LIONS at GREEN BAY PACKERS: The Lions are the NFL’s most imposing team. The Eagles don’t want to see them win the NFC North. Especially when Philly holds a head-to-head tiebreaker over Green Bay that could come in handy for seeding purposes. Root for the Packers.
LOS ANGELES RAMS at SEATTLE SEAHAWKS: The Seahawks currently have the better overall record but I’d argue the Rams have a better chance of actually winning the NFC West and keeping the division crown away from the Niners. Root for the Rams.
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS at MINNESOTA VIKINGS: The Eagles would rather see Sam Darnold win the NFC North over Jared Goff or Jordan Love. Root for the Vikings.
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS at KANSAS CITY CHIEFS: The Eagles don’t want to see the Bucs win the NFC South. Root for the Chiefs.
HOUSTON TEXANS at NEW YORK JETS (Jets won on Thursday night): The Eagles want to see a non-Texans team win the AFC South since they own Houston’s fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. So, they’re glad the Texans lost to the Jets.
MIAMI DOLPHINS at BUFFALO BILLS: The Eagles want the Dolphins to move ahead of the Giants in the 2025 NFL Draft order. Root for the Bills.
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS at CAROLINA PANTHERS: If the Panthers win, that helps keep both the Saints and Panthers ahead of the Giants in the 2025 NFL Draft. Root for the Panthers.
LOS ANGELES CHARGERS at CLEVELAND BROWNS: The Eagles want the Browns to stay ahead of the Giants in the 2025 NFL Draft order. Silver lining to a Browns win is that it works toward improving the Eagles’ strength of victory tiebreaker. Root for the Chargers.
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS at TENNESSEE TITANS: If the Titans win, that helps keep both them and the Patriots ahead of the Giants in the 2025 NFL Draft. **Root for the...
