It goes without saying the Eagles would be better off with home-field advantage and Carson Wentz, but at least now the home venue neutralizes the impact of starting Nick Foles.
In case you’re wondering, here’s how the Washington Post power-ranking model predicts the Eagles would fare both at home and on the road against potential NFC playoff opponents:
| 2017 Eagles | Win probability at home | Win probability on the road |
| vs. Falcons | 75% | 65% |
| vs. Panthers | 68% | 57% |
| vs. Rams | 61% | 49% |
| vs. Vikings | 59% | 59% |
| vs. Saints | 63% | 63% |
Losing Wentz hurts, but securing home-field advantage should greatly help the Eagles navigate the loss of an MVP candidate by improving their odds of winning without him:
