Eagles are Cruising Towards NFC East Title, But Who Should You Root For Elsewhere?
The Philadelphia Eagles sit atop the NFC East with a 7-2 record, solidifying their position as division favorites. However, if you're not on board the Eagles' bandwagon, there's still plenty of other games to watch and win some picks in your fantasy league.
In the NFC West, two teams are tied for second place behind the Eagles at 7-2. The Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks will face off this Sunday in a crucial matchup that could go either way. However, if you're looking to gain an edge over other fans or simply have some fun, here's who you should be rooting for:
* **Commanders at Dolphins**: With the Commanders all but out of playoff contention, it's time to throw them under the bus. A win would only add insult to injury.
* **Cowboys at Raiders**: The Cowboys are longshots to make a deep run in the playoffs, and this game would only serve as further proof of their ineptitude.
On the other side of the division, the Giants face off against the Packers. While it's hard to argue with the notion that more wins is better for Joe Schoen's job security, it's also worth noting that a Giants victory could potentially lead to Mike Kafka becoming the full-time head coach – and we can't say we're too excited about that prospect.
The biggest threat in the NFC is arguably a Rams win over the Seahawks. Not only would this give the Eagles an even bigger advantage, but it would also make things harder for both teams down the stretch. However, if you believe the Seahawks have the better roster, then a Seahawks victory is ideal – as long as the Eagles keep winning in-conference games and lose some.
In the NFC South, the Buccaneers are on track to win their division without much drama. A loss against the Bills would be a setback, but ultimately it's not like they're going to fall out of contention with anything less than a catastrophe.
For teams that might make a late surge into playoff contention, there are several fringe contenders worth keeping an eye on. The Bears could sneak in as the 6 seed if they keep playing well, while the 49ers and Panthers have strong records and could potentially become wild-card teams with some more success.
Finally, since we're already talking about draft picks, let's take a look at who you should be rooting for to get those top-5 picks. If the Giants pick first overall, they'll likely select a quarterback – but if Jaxson Dart continues to impress, they might have to settle for a lower pick and hope for some future value.

but i gotta say im rooting for the chiefs over the ravens in the afc this week, think patriots gonna sneak in as 1 seed with the chiefs and ravens not being able to keep up 
. also got my eye on the bears if they wanna make a late push into playoffs
. Like the Cowboys right now, they're already done with their season and its not like it matters anymore. And the Commanders, yeah thats just bein kinda mean 
. I mean if you wanna root for a team that's got some potential, the Bears might be worth watchin' 
, either team winning would be fire 
. What's with the Commanders being "thrown under the bus"? Can't we all just have a good laugh at their expense 
like who doesn't love watching teams struggle? the cowboys are already giving me life with their losses lol, but seriously though its gonna be super exciting to see which team comes out on top in that matchup between the giants and packers... maybe we'll get some surprises down the stretch and teams start to make a push for the playoffs?
. what I find fascinating is how the Buccaneers are cruising in the NFC South and it looks like they're going to take home the division with ease 
.
. Can't wait to see how this one plays out! 
. On the other hand, if you're watching the Rams and Seahawks game on Sunday, you should probably be rooting for whoever loses because the Eagles would get an even bigger advantage 
. I also think the Giants getting to pick first overall is kinda cool, maybe they'll grab a QB who will turn out to be pretty good 
strong in NFC East 
at 7-2 
, and this week's match up between them is gonna be EPIC 
! You should root for the underdog, like Commanders vs Dolphins 
. 
to win their division 
, and if Giants get that 1st pick 
. But hey, who knows? Maybe Jaxson Dart will shine 
!
they're like the ultimate spoiler team in the nfc east always showing up at the wrong time but if mike kafka gets the head coach job idc lol that'd be hilarious 
No thanks!
, but who am I kidding? They've got some pretty tough matchups coming up and we don't know how they'll handle it. The Giants game against the Packers is gonna be a crazy one - can you imagine Joe Schoen keeping his job if they win? 
i mean, who wants to watch them play? mike kafka is like the new coach that nobody asked for 
he needs to win some games or else joe schoen is outta there 
so rootin 4 them just 2 make it more painful 4 their fans is pretty lame. And Cowboys @ Raiders? that's like rootin 4 a rival to prove somethin 
Mike Kafka as head coach? no thanks! 
. are you looking to help out the giants or commanders because they need it, or are you rooting for them just 'cause? 
. we should all try to find our own passion and purpose in whatever we do, whether it's sports or anything else in life 
. If Seattle can pull off that W, it'll really shake things up and make it tough for both teams to get momentum going. Plus, with the way Jaxson Dart's been playing, it's not like the Giants are in any hurry to grab QB1 anyway
