That's good accept that the Cowboys will probaly be better than 9-7, I see the Giants about 9-7 or 10-6 depends on how the WR play goes for them. Eagles you hit it right on the spot. Redskins will eventually win the divison I like the way that Jim Zorn has them going, they just need to now boost Jason Campells confidence after what happend during the offseason.

This has got to be the toughest division in the NFL by far.
None of those teams are easy opponents to be facing.
I could very well see the NFC East getting three teams into the playoffs.
I would say right now the Eagles would be my favorite to come out of the NFC. I look at that team, and I say what weaknesses do they really have?
McNabb is a great QB, and DeSean Jackson is a legitimate number one receiver. They have a great offensive line, and LeSean McCoy is going to handle some of the running so now it's no longer all up to Westbrook, and those aren't even their biggest strengths.
The Eagles may have the best defense in the NFL. A great secondary, Trent Cole on the line, and one of the best linebacker cores in the NFL, despite the fact that most people probably couldn't name one Eagle linebacker without having to look it up. And while it's true that none of them are probably going to the pro bowl, there isn't a single weak link in that linebacking group or on that defense for that matter.
Right now I'd say the Eagles are my pick to come out of the NFC, but that division is so tough, it wouldn't shock me if they missed the playoffs.
The Eagles have in my opionion the best player in the league with Brian Westbrook so that can help them. They could have problems with Jon Runyan returning from injury and Bradley getting injured. JOn Runyan to me could be a problem because he could end up not playing to well and letting up a bunch of sacks in December to the Cowboys or the Giants.

All i have to say. Eagles win the Divsion hands down. Now to everyone else. Tony Romo will have a down season after losing T.O. and Roy Williams and Jason Witten can't carry those recivers. The Giants Defense will eb stronger than last year and i think they win the NFC Wild Card. The Redskins... Well they got Haynsworth and Portis...

I like the Eagles, but they are by no means a slam dunk to win the division.
If the Giants can just get a little bit of support through their passing game, they could very well become the team to beat.
The Redskins I see in a very role as the Giants. Again if they can just get a little help from their passing attack, they could be an extremely dangerous team.
And it's not like the Cowboys are sleeping either.
Ultimately I feel the division is going to come down to simply whoever can stay the healthiest.
I still feel the Eagles are the favorites, but if a guy like Trent Cole goes down early, there's no way the Eagles can win that division. Not when you have four teams all with a great chance at making the playoffs, and I'd say three of them (Cowboys, Eagles, Giants) who I wouldn't be shocked to be seeing holding the Lombardi trophy at year's end.
