If SF wins and we we beat Philly the following week, are we in first place?

The Cowboys have them beat with common opponents if the Eagles lose to the 49ers.

No they’d be tied against common opponents and Philly wins on conference record. Unless you expect Philly to lose to the Cardinals.

Yeah, so they have to lose 3 games. Basically, SF, DAL, and one more. Seems pretty unlikely honestly.

If the Eagles lose to the 49ers and the Cowboys and Dallas wins out. Dallas wins because the Eagles lost to the Jets.

Looks like it would take another loss by the Eagles then.

The good news is we could secure the 5th seed early while not having an opportunity to win division and be in a position to rest our stars the last game or two heading into playoffs.

In the outlined scenario, there’s. 3 way tie between the Niners, cowboys and eagles.

Well, that's assuming that SF wins after the Philly game, which was never mentioned.

But I'll play along:

Three or More Clubs​

(Note: If two clubs remain tied after one-or-more clubs are eliminated during any step, tiebreaker restarts at Step 1 of two-club format. If three clubs remain tied after a fourth club is eliminated during any step, tiebreaker restarts at Step 2 of three-club format.)
  1. Apply division tiebreaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tiebreaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two Wild-Card participants.
  2. Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.)
  3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
  4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
  5. Strength of victory in all games.
  6. Strength of schedule in all games.
  7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed in all games.
  8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed in all games.
  9. Best net points in conference games.
  10. Best net points in all games.
  11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
  12. Coin toss
So it looks like we would be in second place, ahead of Philly due to division, but behind SF due to head-to-head.

In any case, Conference records play no part in either decision at this point.

Conference isn't factored in until #4.

And, if they lose to Seattle, then I think we take common opponents. Plus, we beat the Jets, who they lost against.
