NFC East division predictions

 The NFL season is almost here, so you know what that means. It's time to do some predictions. I will do my predictions by division, and then do playoff predictions. I will do 9 separate articles, 1 for each division, and then the playoffs. I am starting with the NFC East, because I'm an Eagles fan, and the best always start first. Last year I had the Seahawks going 9-8, and they won the Super Bowl, so I'm not the best source when it comes to this. But it's still fun, and who knows? Maybe I'll be right this year. Probably not, but still. Enough chatting. Let's get into it

NFC East

1. Philadelphia Eagles (12-5) (2 seed)

2. Dallas Cowboys (9-8)

3. New York Giants (7-10)

4. Washington Commanders (6-11)

The Eagles came into last year as the defending champions. They started out 8-2, but the offense was really shaky, and there were tons of questions. Then they lost 3 straight, finished 11-6 and lost in the Wild Card. They fired their offensive coordinator, Kevin Patullo, and replaced him with Sean Mannion. They lost their longtime offensive line coach, Jeff Stoutland. They lost Nakobe Dean, Reed Blankenship, and traded AJ Brown, and added Tariq Woolen, Elijah Moore, Jonathan Greenard, Dontayvion Wicks, and Hollywood Brown. There's a lot to be excited about in Philly. It wouuld be disappointing if they didn't win the division.

The Cowboys traded Micah Parsons right before the season began, and everyone laughed at them. They came in with a new coach in Brian Schottenheimer, and there wasn't a lot of high hopes in Dallas. But while they weren't good, they weren't awful either. They finished 7-9-1, and Dak Prescott had a hell of a year. However, the defense was horrible, allowing the most points in the league. They fired defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, and replaced him with Eagles secondary coach Christian Parker. They traded for Rashan Gary, but didn't do much else. They did keep George Pickens and Javonte Williams, so that is important. I could see them being a playoff team, but I can't trust the defense.

The Giants were expected to be very bad in 2025, and they were. But they weren't bad enough to get the #1 pick, because they won the last 2 games. Rookies Jaxon Dart and Cam Skattebo showed out, and they both have bright futures. The Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll and replaced him with Super Bowl champion John Harbaugh. They picked Arvell Reese and Francis Mauioga in the first round of the draft. They traded away Dexter Lawrence, brought back Odell Beckham Jr, and added Juju Smith Schuster. I don't think they're gonna be great, but I don't think they'll be awful.

The Commanders went to the NFC Championship game in 2024, so expectations were high heading into last year. They didn't meet those expectations at all, going 5-12. Jayden Daniels was injured midway through the year, and the team floundered without him. They fired offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, and replaced him with David Blough. They also got a new defensive coordinator in Daronte Jones. They traded for Stefon Diggs. I don't think they'll be good.
