BGN’s own John Stolnis wrote that the Eagles’ chances of making the postseason are on the upswing. He’s right and the numbers back it up.
Following the Birds’ 30-13 win over the Broncos in Denver, FiveThirtyEight gives the Eagles a 26 percent chance of reaching the playoffs.
If the Eagles pick up a W over New Orleans on Sunday, those odds shoot up to 40 percent. If we want to get wild, a win against the Saints coupled with road wins in the Meadowlands against the Giants and Jets would have the Birds’ chances leap to 67 percent.
