Will Eagles clinch NFC East? Bears break through vs. Packers? How to bet the games, plus DFS picks - ESPN

Saturday brings us a pair of games with serious playoff implications.

The Philadelphia Eagles can clinch the NFC East with a win over the Washington Commanders. A Dallas Cowboys loss Sunday or an Eagles tie and Cowboys tie would also wrap up the division for Philadelphia. The Eagles are 6.5-point road favorites Saturday.

In the second game of Saturday's doubleheader, the winner of the Green Bay Packers-Chicago Bears matchup at Soldier Field will be a step closer to the playoffs.
