It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Because if the Giants beat the Jets, they will be 8-7 and will play the 8-7 Cowboys (assuming, in your scenario, that the Eagles beat the Cowboys). If that occurs, then one team will have to be 9-7 (or in theory, both the Giants and Cowboys could finish 8-7-1). Thus, the Eagles, even at 8-8, would be out.
Per an article on PFT, if Giants win, the Eagles are eliminated.
The Giants, Cowboys, and Eagles can all finish 8-8 if the Giants beat the Jets.
The Eagles and Giants split.
The Eagles would have the better division and conference record.
Anybody know know what eliminates them?
In any case, playoffstatus.com agrees with PFT: the Iggles cannot win a wild card spot, and are eliminated by ANY of the following:
Case 1
Giants beat the Jets
Case 2
Cowboys beat the Eagles
Case 3
Redskins beat the Eagles
Case 4
Cowboys beat the Giants
