The Rams (9-3) would have a 39-percent chance at a bye with a win, and just a 1-percent chance with a loss. Furthermore, their chances at winning the division would drop to 38-percent with a loss to the Eagles, making the Seahawks the new NFC South favorites.

As for winning the Super Bowl -- which is still a ways away -- the Eagles would have a 16-percent chance with a win over the Rams, but still an eight percent chance if they were to lose.

The Eagles are two-point underdogs on Sunday at the Los Angeles Rams.
