NFC East the Cowboys are favored?

[Nasty_Magician]

The Cowboys go as far as the health of their offensive line. It's a huge roll of the dice but if that unit is relatively healthy that offense will keep them in every game.

If not it's a total crapshoot.

3. Dallas Cowboys​

   It's easy to overlook the Dallas Cowboys after their down season last year.
   But that would be a mistake in part because of Dak Prescott. Prior to playing just five games last year, he threw for 4,902 yards and 30 touchdowns against 11 interceptions in 2019. One of the league's premier passers operates behind one of the best offensive lines, which features left tackle Tyron Smith and right guard Zack Martin—and the stability and borderline guaranteed production is what helps the Cowboys rank higher than the Ravens.
   Prescott also gets to work with one of the best surrounding casts. Ezekiel Elliott is a star running back, Amari Cooper is the No. 1 wideout, 2020 No. 17 pick CeeDee Lamb has huge upside, and Michael Gallup might be one of the most underrated wideouts out there (843 yards, five touchdowns, 14.3 yards per catch last season).
   Don't sleep on the defense, either, after last year's near-historical ineptitude. Better coaching and schemes under new coordinator Dan Quinn should get more from mainstays such as Jaylon Smith. Either way, Smith resides with a stacked linebacker core alongside Leighton Vander Esch and 2021 No. 12 pick Micah Parsons.
   While the rebuilt defense still has to prove it on the field, the DeMarcus Lawrence-led pass rush and an infusion of defensive talent (eight of the team's 11 draft picks, including the first six, were defenders) point the arrow up alongside an offense with best-in-the-league potential.

That's a factor but I think clearly their defense is their wild card. There is some pass Rush talent and they've invested in their linebackers. Their bama CB should be decent. They really should find a way to make that at least a top 20 unit and not a complete laughing stock.

Giants, on the other hand, need their oline to improve or that team could completely implode.

The Eagles Are Embarrassingly Trying to Blame Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid for Their Selection of Struggling Second-Year QB Jalen Hurts

The Philadelphia Eagles are seemingly attempting to blame others for the selection of QB Jalen Hurts in 2020.

What's this???

"A lot is going wrong for the Eagles at the moment. Second-year quarterback Jalen Hurts is playing like a glorified backup. Top-10 pick DeVonta Smith is struggling to create separation. The offensive line isn’t healthy. The defense doesn’t look improved from last season. The list goes on and on."

Not our best moment...

Watching the game live I was trying to figure out why the heck Canady was coming back from out of bounds. This was worse than what I was thinking it was. It was like he was doing that thing where you guzzle a beer and then spin around with your forehead on a bat and then try to run while you are dizzy

It's the Cowboys' to lose at this point. Looks like they may manage to win a couple playoff games for the first time in a quarter century.

 

[Iggloo]

They look like the best team by far early on. Their defense has been better than I expected.

I hereby reverse your reverse jinx by stating the Cowboys will completely fold and have no chance to make the playoffs, let alone win any playoff games

 

[fastforward]

Cowboys are now in the -250 to -300 range for the NFC East title.

Predicting this division makes fools of most. Week to week league and injuries matter.

That said, as of today,

Boys have played every game without any glaring weaknesses that I can hate on. Definitely trending up.

Giants seem to be trending upward with better play from DJ and the Oline

Eagles so injured it’s hard to know what they’d be healthy so trending down

My Skins heading sideways with mounting injuries and a Defense way under producing.

I suspect clinching the division comes soon as well

They will be able to clinch the 4th seed with a loss to the Cardinals next week as well.

Wrong again.

At least as of now, because like always you're getting ahead of yourself.

That game will be a Mike McCarthy special.

My barometer for the Cowboys was their defense and I thought they needed to hit top 20. 28th last year. 7th this year.

It seems like the Cowboys draft well. They just haven't been able to put everything together until this season.
