The Cowboys could lose to Arizona. That’s probably a huge game for them considering that could mean the difference for home field and a bye. Is it a big challenge for the Eagles to run the table? Absolutely, but it’s not impossible for it to happen considering the opponents they’re facing. I’m pretty sure every game from this moment on will have a large Eagles following at them. They’re all almost home games. Ona side note I feel like there will be a little revenge factor when it comes to WFT and the Eagles. They swept the Eagles last year, but I know Hurts wants a little payback after what happened in that last game. 

Cowboys will lose to Arizona.  It’s really just up to the eagles to handle their business which, because of the schedule looks very very doable.

I think we would need the miners to lose to the Vikings too

Both of them are 5-5 and occupy the last to playoff spots. One would go to 5-6 while the other would go to 6-5. The Eagles would move to 6-6. As such they would leap the other team; however the Eagles haven’t had their bye week yet so they could be caught by the 49ers. 

Mathematically  possible, but the overall lack of depth + a leaky defense still makes it unlikely.

I am right there with you.  I also predicted 7 wins before the season started ... stuck with it when Hawkeye started the "rethinking the Eagles win total" thread, and will be thrilled to be wrong if we exceed that.  

I was being optimistic with my 10 win prediction before the season. I was expecting a better start, only because I thought we had an element of surprise going into the season with a new coach etc.. Ultimately this season was never about wins/loses but was about assessing our new coaches and Hurts' development. On those fronts I'm satisfied so far. I just hope the growth continues and the worse of the growing pains are behind us.

Same, I was very optimistic based on the talent on the roster and that we finally had health and some decent corners.

I totally underestimated how inexperienced this team was, including the coaches. But we‘re getting there now.

Arizona is an L for Dallas IMO. If Kamara is back, which is fairly likely, the Saints could beat them. 
 

For the Eagles, I just see a team that has an identity finally. They aren’t losing to Washington or NY. Division game or not, the Giants are a dumpster fire. They’re not winning another game this season. Washington is a little better but don’t see them beating the Eagles. 

I love the confidence bud I really do. But I just don't see it. They'll drop at least one to NYG or WFT, that's just how division games go.

Here is what I said in preseason (in response to someone who posted they would be rooting for a 4 win season if they do not make the playoffs):  "I do think you will be disappointed if you are rooting for them to win only 4 games.  They’re in a weak division with the easiest ranked strength of schedule and this is far from a talent-free roster.  They may not be a .500 team, but I’ll be surprised if they are not at least pretty close."

That was more or less an 8 win prediction with upside, which seems juuuuuuuust about right even now.

The hardest part of the Schedule and the Eagles walked away 5-6. This team last year won only one game agains a team with a winning record, and this team has done it three times. The team last year rarely ran the ball despite the fact the offensive line, defense, receivers, and quarterback were all struggling. This team is running the ball with all those issues. This team is fighting and playing well on top of that they won’t see another high quality quarterback until the playoffs if they make it. As far as I’m concerned the Eagles have already exceeded my expectations, but now my hope for this team has elevated. I want to see the playoffs. I feel like they can do it, because they’re better than the teams they are about to face.

So you’re telling me there’s a chance

and "I like it alottt!" 

0% chance now. 0% chance at playoffs too.

Not possible anymore. This game was theirs and they blew it in typical Eagles fashion.
