I think were near-eliminated in all scenarios where we don't beat Philadelphia. I know for a fact that our best possible finish in the division is 3rd, so we would need Carolina to lose out (unlikely) and Atlanta to lose two out of three to have a shot (difficult, considering they play the Rams). Assuming that Philly doesn't lose to Cleveland (not happening) we would also need them AND the Giants to beat Dallas.

Basically, our chances of making the playoffs go from 80% if we go 3-0 and beat Philly, to about 15% if we simply take care of business against weaker opponents, but lose to a better Philadelphia team, finishing up at 9-7.
