How to get the bye

There are two scenarios in which the Eagles could obtain the first-round bye they desperately need now that they've traded away part of the home field advantage for a full stadium via the infamous snow postponement.
In both cases the Eagles must beat the Vikings, and then on short rest, the Cowboys.

NFC No. 1 seed:
Eagles beat the Cowboys and the Vikings, and Packers beat the Bears, and Panthers beat the Falcons, and Buccaneers beat the Saints.

NFC No. 2 seed:
Eagles beat the Cowboys and the Vikings, and Packers beat the Bears.
Or Eagles beat the Cowboys and Vikings, and Panthers beat the Falcons, and Buccaneers beat the Saints.

The Eagles have clinched at least the No. 3 seed. At that spot they would open the playoffs against the Packers or the Giants, believe it or not.
