The (10-4) Philadelphia Eagles were once in control of the NFC East, but that's no longer the case anymore.
After losing 20-17 to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night, the Eagles went from having over an 80 percent to a 62 percent shot at the title.
The Eagles winning their final three games against the Giants, Cardinals and Giants could help them out, but they'll still need to count on the Dallas Cowboys losing again.
That shouldn't be too hard since the Cowboys still face tough tasks against the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions.
As for the Eagles securing the No. 1 seed, they have just a 4 percent chance.
In fact, the San Francisco 49ers can officially clinch the top seed in Week 16 with a win along with an Eagles, Cowboys and Lions loss.
