Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles' #11 ranking appears justified given their 8-5 record and relatively average ranking score of 61.959, which suggests they've been inconsistent despite a decent win total. While they share the same record as the Houston Texans, their lower ranking likely reflects weaker strength of schedule or less impressive wins, as evidenced by the "no major wins/losses yet" notation compared to higher-ranked teams with similar records. The Eagles' main weakness appears to be their inability to secure statement victories against quality opponents, which has limited their ranking despite maintaining a winning record. Their performance seems to lack the dominant characteristics that would elevate them above teams like the 9-4 Chargers and Bears, suggesting issues with either offensive consistency or defensive reliability in crucial moments. To improve their playoff positioning and ranking, Philadelphia needs to capitalize on remaining games by defeating higher-caliber opponents and avoiding costly losses to teams they should beat on paper. Securing at least one signature win against a playoff contender would significantly boost both their confidence and their standing in power rankings heading into the postseason.
