"The second half of the 2025 season starts with the Eagles soaring above their rivals in the NFC East. The next eight weeks may be little more than a formality for the presumptive division champions, but they haven't clinched anything yet. And at this point, the Cowboys seem to be the only team with a chance of thwarting them. Philly snuck out of Lambeau Field with a victory last Monday night, being the less ugly team in a game neither deserved to win."
"They're now the number-one seed in the NFC and just knocked off arguably their toughest remaining opponent, so the next two months could be a gravy train toward the playoffs. Still, with eight games to go and one of them a head-to-head, the Cowboys aren't out of this thing. They need to make up four wins to move past Philadelphia, so long as one of those is against the Eagles in Week 12."
"Obviously, games like Dallas' next one against the Raiders are must-wins if this miracle can be performed. With the Eagles, Chiefs, and Lions coming up, the Cowboys have to use this Vegas game to work off any bye week rust, put last week's tragedy behind them, and work their new faces into the defensive mix. Thankfully, the Raiders are struggling enough that you can do all that and still have a good shot at winning."
The Eagles occupy the top spot in the NFC East as the second half of the 2025 season begins, holding the league's number-one seed after a road win in Green Bay. The Cowboys remain the only realistic threat to overtake them but face a four-game deficit and must win the head-to-head matchup in Week 12. Dallas must secure must-win games beginning with a favorable matchup against the Raiders while integrating new defensive personnel and overcoming recent adversity. Philadelphia's offense must improve to withstand upcoming tests against teams like the Lions. The Commanders and Giants are largely distant factors but could influence outcomes indirectly.
