What are they spoiling? Eagles are in. Granted they are playing like bums tonight.
1st round buy
Now there's no chance. Bears could definitely give it up against the pack, but it don't matter now!
Philadelphia Eagles: What A First-Round Bye Would Mean For Them

Philadelphia Eagles Can Clinch Bye With Two Victories, and a Bears Loss In Week 17
The Philadelphia Eagles can clinch a first-round bye with a victory over Minnesota on Tuesday and in Week 17 against Dallas.
A first-round bye would make them the favorites in the NFC.
If they get one of the two bye weeks, they would have to play highest remaining seed in the playoffs in the second round (which would be either the 3, 4, or 5 seed right now in the NFC those would be Chicago, St Louis, or New Orleans).
The only "dangerous" team in that group is New Orleans and they don't have the defense to stop Michael Vick and co.
The Bears beat the Eagles a few weeks back, but a potential rematch in Philly would most likely be doom for Jay Cutler.
The Eagles could have a simple path to the NFC Championship game if they get a first-round bye in the playoffs.
First things first, they have to take care of Minnesota on Tuesday night.
So yeah, Spoiler!
