The Philadelphia Eagles are officially on a bye week and will have plenty of big games to watch in Week 10 that they need to go in their favor.
From NFC East rivals clashing to the Dallas Cowboys trying to beat the NFL's best team, there are plenty of intriguing matchups for Eagles fans to watch. It feels odd to think that, even though they are 2-7 and just traded Jordan Davis at the trade deadline, Week 10 could keep the Eagles in the postseason picture.
Which games are must-watch for Eagles fans in Week 10? Here is a guide on what to watch during the bye week.
Week 10 Philadelphia Eagles rooting guide
Washington Commanders vs. New York Giants
This game already happened, but it was important for the Eagles, as they needed the Giants to lose to have a very slim chance of winning the NFC East. Washington delivered a 24-21 win over New York on Thursday night.
The Giants moved to 5-3-1 this season, while the Commanders are now 3-5-1. While the Eagles are on a bye, that was an important result, and depending on the Cowboys game, it could force Philly to pass on tanking for now and gun for the division title (which feels weird to say after losing seven straight games).
San Francisco 49ers vs. Dallas Cowboys
Clearly, the 49ers are the team to cheer for here (as painful as that was to type out), as it is all about gaining ground in the NFC East. No matter what, the Eagles won't be the number one seed, so San Francisco winning means nothing to them.
Dallas sits at 4-5 and has a chance to see their season implode with a loss to the 49ers. They are already on the verge of potentially firing head coach Brian Schottenheimer at the end of the season, so it would cause so much chaos to see them lose a game they desperately needed, especially since the Commanders did them a favor by beating the Giants.
New England Patriots vs. Detroit Lions
Here's another game where it is painful to say it, but Eagles fans have to cheer for the Patriots and, ugh, A.J. Brown to take down the Lions. New England's final results won't really matter to the Eagles until next year, since Philly owns their first-round pick in the 2028 NFL Draft, but Detroit losing would be nice.
If anything, it's just to see an NFC team lose to an AFC team. It could help all these NFC North teams lose if there's any chance a Wild Card spot opens up.
Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers
Well, the NFC North teams are playing each other, so this doesn't really help the Eagles at all. Both teams have six wins, but the Packers have three losses, while the Vikings have two.
It could really go either way, but maybe the Packers losing right now gives the Eagles a slight edge in the Wild Card race. Four losses feel more likely to catch up to than three, so Green Bay needs to lose.

Los Angeles Rams vs. Arizona Cardinals
Hate-watching the Rams is always fun for Eagles fans, so in almost every situation, the Cardinals would be the team to cheer for. It might be more important this week, though, to see Arizona pull off an upset.
Los Angeles is 5-4 and barely hanging on by a thread. The Cardinals already beat the Rams just a few weeks ago, so Arizona could still win it. Eagles fans need to hope that LA gets beaten again and that it gets another team out of the Wild Card race.
