It's Week 17 of the NFL season, and there are only two weeks left for the Philadelphia Eagles to try to make a move in the NFC playoffs.
Sitting at a 10-5 record, the Eagles already have the NFC East title under their belts and have a chance to move up from their current number three seed. They will need some help to secure the second seed, but they still need assistance.
So the big question is who should Eagles fans cheer for to see that number two seed come as a Christmas miracle for the Birds? Who should everyone cheer for in Week 17 of the NFL season?
Eagles' rooting guide for Week 17 action
Bonus: Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Commanders
Okay, so this one has nothing to do with the playoffs, but with NFC East division rivals facing off, it would be nice to see the heavily favored Cowboys lose yet another regular season game. Seems unlikely since Josh Johnson is making the start at quarterback for the Commanders in this game after Marcus Mariota got hurt in the 29-18 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16, but maybe a Christmas miracle could happen for all NFL fans to see Dallas lose just once more?
Cheer: Washington Commanders
Bonus: New York Giants at Las Vegas Raiders
One more bonus, Eagles fans don't want the Giants to get another high draft pick this season. Let's go, Raiders!!
Cheer: Las Vegas Raiders
Baltimore Ravens vs. Green Bay Packers
The Packers currently hold the seventh seed in the playoffs. Green Bay has an outside shot at moving up to the sixth seed, which would be great for the Eagles if they want to face them in the NFC Wild Card. Philly beat Green Bay earlier this season, so it would be nice to face them again. For the sake of the Eagles gunning for the number two seed, let's get wild and cheer the Packers on to beat the Ravens.
Cheer: Green Bay Packers
Seattle Seahawks at Carolina Panthers
The Seahawks currently hold the number one seed in the NFC, and it would be great to see them lose momentum for the playoffs. Carolina is fighting for their playoff lives as it tries to win the NFC South, so Eagles fans should cheer for the Panthers to win this matchup.
Cheer: Carolina Panthers
Chicago Bears at San Francisco 49ers
This is the tough one to pick since the Eagles would love both to lose, but there can be only one. Since Philly is gunning for that number two seed, Chicago must lose out the rest of the year, with them owning the tiebreaker due to that ugly Black Friday game, so Eagles fans must cheer for the 49ers win.
Cheer: San Francisco 49ers

Los Angeles Rams at Atlanta Falcons
The Eagles would have owned any tiebreakers with the Rams for the number one seed, but since that's out of the question, it would still be nice to see them lose this game. Atlanta is an easy choice for cheering for them to win since the Eagles and Rams could face off in the playoffs at some point.
Cheer: Atlanta Falcons
