Where do the Eagles sit in the NFC playoff picture?

The Eagles (8-1) are back to business after a much-needed bye, and with the rent still needing to be paid, the team has started early preparation for a six-game gauntlet that will shape the NFC playoff picture.

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 Ravens and Bengals set for a Thursday night matchup, here’s an updated NFC playoff picture ahead of the Week 11 action.
