They are good, but their luck could run out very quickly. I suspect they will have 3 to 5 loses before the season is over with. They have a big disadvantage with all of the next 3 opponents getting the rest advantage over them. I don't recall ever seeing a team have that over 3 consecutive weeks.
We're really grasping for straws when an opponent's "advantage" is an extra day of rest.

I've watched the NFL for 58 years. I'm not grasping for anything. The 49ers and the Cowboys have 3 days of extra rest and the Cowboys will be at home. The Bills have 1.5 days of extra rest and didn't travel.

The Eagles are at home where they are unbeaten this year and 11-2 the past two years. Home field advantage is a much greater factor than "rest". And I doubt they will need any extra motivation playing versus Dallas where they will likely be "underdogs".

The Bills are going to have to travel to Philadelphia at some point. Then they will have travelled, within 48 hours of kickoff. And honestly, do you think the Bills are more likely to go to Philly and beat the Eagles on Sunday or beat the Cowboys at home in their significantly colder stadium on December 16…late afternoon/evening game? I mean if you were betting your own money. I do not know why everyone thinks teams like Buffalo and Seattle can beat the Eagles, but not the Cowboys. Both teams play them before the season is over.

Do you believe the Eagles will sweep the Bills, 49ers, and Cowboys? I don't.

I think there is a good chance that the Eagles lose 2 of the next 3.

So do I. I just don’t think it will be the Bills being one of the two. Of course, I thought Kansas City was going to beat them and did bet my own money. I’m a little leery of “AFC powerhouses” from here on out.

Based on them winning 9 of their last 10 games including wins against the Chiefs, Cowboys, Dolphins and Vikings?

The no call on the pick play for the Kelce TD evens that out. The Kelce fumble the ball was punched out of his arms and even if they catch that TD, Eagles have 2 minutes to win the game on the road. Everyone on here said it was pretty much a lock the Eagles would lose to KC in Arrowhead, and that the Eagles have been lucky all year. As they say, good teams make their own luck...
#207 above lists the teams both teams play and outlooks...quit the rotten cherry picking to not have to discuss merit!!

Yea, Philly needs to lose in Seattle and Dallas has to beat Detroit. That would give Dallas the conference tiebreaker affording Dallas only one more loss on the season…..not to an NFC team.

Of course, this means Dallas has to go 6-1 with Philly losing a few more which is a different animal itself.
exactly

Just hopeful for a home playoff game and maybe sneak a win on the road in divisional and get smoked in the conference champ game. This team I don’t think can beat SF, and they definitely can’t beat the eagles.

It’s very possible they only win 2-3 of their remaining games. Seattle gonna be tough, Wash plays Dallas tough, Buffalo that’s an iffy game, The Lions that could get outta hand if Goff starts off hot, and the Dolphins? Speed is gonna be a problem. I’m not optimistic like others about the rest of the way. This could end up being only a 9-10 win team.

You won't be the only one who owes the entire board an apology when they end up with at least 12 wins yet again.

What do you think I need to apologize for?

I will never apologize for an opinion I have. How arrogant of you to demand one.
