NFC East Odds Preview 2009

Let’s take a look at the 2009 NFC East Division and check the odds to win it. 

Philadelphia Eagles

It seems the NFC East has become more difficult with the emergence of Philly in early 2000s.

Andy Reid has changed the Eagles' losing ways along with Donovan McNabb and the late Jim Johnson.

This year’s team might have had its best possible offseason in its history, but injuries might not see it play out.

Middle LB Stewart Bradley is gone for the year as is third round draft pick TE Cornelius Ingram. QBs Kevin Kolb and Todd Herremans are also injured.

Add the fact that Pro Bowler Shawn Andrews has not played since September 2008, and Jason Peters, Stacy Andrews, and Brian Westbrook are coming back from injuries, and you get a lot of unwanted stress if you're Andy Reid.

To be honest, the Eagles were very lucky last year getting into the playoffs.

The Eagles have the play makers and soldiers to make something happen, but how far will they go is anyone's guess.

Dallas Cowboys

With no more Terrell Owens and Jessica Simpson TMZ drama, the Cowboys might have a shot this year.

Jason Witten and Marion Barber are stable go-to guys, but it will take Patrick Crayton and Roy Williams to reach down and help Tony Romo move forward this year.

The Cowboys still have a solid defense and made a nice pick-up getting DE Igor Olshansky out of San Diego.

The defense will need to match its beginning intensity all the way through the year for the Cowboys to be successful.

New York Giants

The Giants start with defense and end up handing the ball over to Eli Manning, hoping he won't make mistakes.

No Plaxico Burress or Amani Toomer will make Eli’s job more difficult, but let's see how rookie WR Hakeem Hicks picks up the NFL.

As long as LB Antonio Pierce gets back on the field the Giants are in good shape. The Giants are well coached and have the tools to take the NFC East.

Washington Redskins

The Redskins are a mystery.

Every year Dan Snyder spends, spends, and spends more to create another losing team.

What gives?

This year might change because they have a nasty front-four defensive line that includes newly acquired DT Albert Haynesworth. They have a solid LB crew and DB crew that includes young studs DeAngelo Hall and LaRon Landry.

Offensively they have good players as well and if there is weakness it might be on the offensive line.

Snyder's expensive fantasy teams can’t lose forever can they?

Their odds make me want to back them for a penny at:
