NFC East Predictions

get production out of the quarterback position, and how effective recently acquired cornerback Asante Samuel can be.

Samuel has proven himself to be a more than capable cornerback. The only reason I still hold doubts about just how well he will perform is because of the team he's coming from.  The Patriots seem to have a great defense year in and year out and have the ability to plug in players and get production out of them. 

The same thing happened with Ty Law. He was very productive with the Patriots, but his play dropped off in the years after he left the Patriots.

 

Predictions

 

Division Winner: Dallas Cowboys

The 'Boys have a talented roster and a great QB. Unless injuries hamper the Cowboys or the running game doesn't perform, I'm willing to bet the Cowboys win 12 games or more.  

 

Second Place:  New York Giants

I toyed with the idea of putting the Eagles here, but I just couldn't push myself to do it in the end.  For me, I think that the Giants will be a slightly improved duplicate of last year's regular season team.

My predictions are  10-6 or 11-5 for their win-loss record and I expect the Giants to make an appearance in the playoffs.  I'm sure Giants fans will disagree with me, and I understand where they're coming from, but the Giants just don't impress me that much.

 

Third Place:  Philadelphia Eagles

I feel that McNabb and Reid can't be held down for that long, I see them rebounding and winning 10 games or so in the process and, making it into the playoffs as a wild card.

 

Fourth Place:  Washington Redskins

Washington got into the playoffs on an emotional high and overcame several hardships, including the unfortunate passing of safety Sean Taylor.

A coaching change, the loss of a very good defensive back in Sean Taylor, and the question of how productive Jason Campbell can be lead me to think that the Redskins can't survive in such a competitive division.

Let me know how you think the division will turn out.
