Week 11 non-Eagles rooting guide

Non-Eagles fans seeking advice on where to root this weekend? Look no way but here.

**NFC East:**
While the Eagles cruise toward an NFC East title, it's not like you have a choice. The Cowboys and Commanders will be stuck playing out the string.

The Giants are already a lost cause, and their only game is against the Packers. That's ideal for New York if they want to see Joe Schoen get a longer leash.

**The biggest threats in the NFC:**
The Eagles' top seed is secure, but don't get too comfortable. The Seahawks and Rams will play it out on Sunday.

If you think the Rams are better than the Seahawks, then go with a Seahawks win. If not, a Rams win might be ideal because they have harder games on their remaining schedule.

**Other NFC fringe playoff contenders:**
The Bears could break through to the playoffs as the 6 seed if things fall in place.

The 49ers will likely find themselves in a situation where it's just a formality, while the Panthers and Falcons are both playing for pride.

**Draft considerations:**
A few draft picks could change the course of teams' seasons. The Giants own the fourth pick, so losing more games makes that pick better. The Eagles will have a top pick if they can't hold on to their lead over the Rams and Seahawks.

The following winners are ideal:

* Texans at Titans
* Steelers at Bengals
* Ravens at Browns

**Chargers at Jaguars:**
This game might seem irrelevant, but it sets up an interesting Week 14 matchup with the Eagles.
 
🏈💬 so like i'm not a huge fan of watching all these teams play each other just to see who gets in the playoffs lol. NFC east is pretty much a done deal for eagles and cowboys but giants are just kinda there i guess 🤷‍♂️ what i do find kinda interesting is those chargers vs jaguars game they might not seem like much now but it could set up some wild Week 14 matchups 💥
 
I'm so down for the Giants to keep losing and see Joe Schoen get fired ASAP 🤦‍♂️💥 They need some fresh blood in the Big Apple. And can we talk about how boring it is that the Eagles are basically a shoe-in for first place? Like, where's the fun in that? It's just gonna be a whole season of "Eagles are gonna win" and nobody's really rooting for anyone else 🙄. I'm all about the Seahawks winning the whole thing, though - they're due for some good fortune after all those years of disappointment 😊. And can we please start talking about the real playoff contenders? Like, who cares if the Bears make it in as a 6 seed when they have so much talent and potential? 🤷‍♂️
 
I'm all for a good Chargers vs Eagles showdown in week 14 lol 🤔... the Jags are gonna put up some points against the Bolts and set the stage for a thrilling matchup with Philly 🏈... gotta say, I'm loving the drama of this NFC East race, like the Giants are toast 😂... can't believe they're just giving away that fourth pick to anyone who wants it 🤑... if the Bears can somehow get it together, they might just sneak into the playoffs and give everyone a run for their money 💥
 
I'm thinking of the draft picks thing... 🤔 if the Giants pick 4th and they keep losing, that's actually a good spot to get some talent... I drew a little diagram to help visualize it 😊

It's kinda like the Giants are in a "bad boy" situation, but if they keep losing, it might work out for them... 🤷‍♂️
 
I'm so glad I can finally root for my Bears to make a push for that 6th seed spot 🤞🏽! Their remaining schedule looks doable and if they can get some key wins, who knows? It's gonna be super tough competing against those other NFC teams like the Rams and Seahawks though. I mean, have you seen their rosters? 💪 They're like the top dogs in the league right now.

I love how the Giants' game against the Packers is gonna be a great opportunity for Joe Schoen to show some life under him 🤝. Maybe he'll surprise everyone with some crazy plays and they can turn things around.

The Chargers vs Jaguars matchup seems kinda irrelevant at first, but I'm hyped for Week 14 because it's gonna set up an awesome showdown against the Eagles 💥!
 
I think its funny that everyone's focus is on the top teams in the NFC, while the Giants are just trying to survive their last game 🤣. But honestly, if you're a fan of any team other than the Eagles, theres still some good games coming up this weekend - like Chargers vs Jaguars, thats gonna be a fun one!
 
I'm still trying to get my fantasy football team sorted out 😅, and this article is super helpful. I was thinking of targeting a guy who's been on fire for the Giants, like those WRs they've picked up mid-season... but now that you mention it, losing more games would actually make them pick 4th overall? That's wild 🤯. Do you guys think that's true, though? Like, if they lose all their remaining games, that picks will just magically become a game-changer? I don't get it... and what about the Panthers and Falcons playing for pride - is that like some kinda last-ditch effort thing?
 
omg can't believe how stacked this nfc east is i mean the eagles are basically already in for a first round bye lol meanwhile the cowboys and commanders are fighting for scraps 🤣 and you know who's gonna take advantage of that? the giants 🙌 joe schoen needs to get that extension ASAP or he'll be outta there
