According to an NFL source, the Eagles will face off against the New York Giants on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. with both the NFC East and the NFC’s top playoff seed on the line.

The NFL announced two Saturday Week 18 games after Sunday Night Football.

The Eagles likely will be scheduled to play at the same time as both the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers, all three of whom have a chance to end up with the NFC’s top playoff seed. That means a first-round bye and home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

For the Eagles, the math remains simple — defeat the Giants and the Birds win both the division and the NFC’s top playoff spot. They could also lose and still back in as the No. 1 seed, though that would requires losses by both the Cowboys and 49ers.

Because there is no Monday Night Football game in the final week of the season, the NFL has once again added two Saturday games during the final week of the season that will air on ABC and ESPN. Those two games are:

  1. Chiefs-Raiders (4:30 p.m., ABC/ESPN): The Chiefs could be playing to lock up the AFC’s top playoff slot if the Bills lose to the Bengals on Monday Night Football.

  2. Titans-Jaguars (8:15 p.m., ABC/ESPN): The winner will clinch the AFC South and secure a playoff spot. If the Titans lose, they’re out, but the Jaguars could still back into the playoffs as a wild-card if they lose.
