Philadelphia Eagles
It is without a doubt that the Eagles are going to be a favorite to win the Super Bowl next year. Especially with the additions that Philly added with rookies such as the Georgia Bulldogs trio of Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith and Kelee Ringo. Another big addition the Eagles made is bringing in running back D’Andre Swift after the Lions drafted Jahmyr Gibbs with the 12th overall pick. The first five weeks for Philly are easily all winnable. However, once it gets to week 11, Philadelphia goes through the gauntlet of playing the Chiefs, then Buffalo and finally the 49ers. 15-2 with the best record in the NFL for the Eagles.
Dallas Cowboys
Dallas is in an interesting spot here to say the least, after having a mediocre draft. They are not going to be bad and they are not going to be good, however they can still make it into a wild card spot still. Dallas’s defense is still gonna be a top 10 defense but the offense will be the concern going in. Losing tight end Dalton Schultz could be huge but behind a top three offensive line, Prescott could help this team. 11-6 could be the record Dallas could have and still make the wild card.
New York Giants
New York is in a tough position, here is why. They managed to resign quarterback Daniel Jones but the possibility of superstar running back Saquon Barkley holding out might lean towards more of a possibility then ever. New York’s offense could be in trouble after what was a promising season for the team. The defense is still young, but also still needs work. New York could still get into the playoffs with an 11-6 record.
Washington COmmanders
The Commanders quarterback issue is going to be a problem. With Sam Howell expected to be the starting quarterback for Washington, the struggle on offense is going to be something to worry about. Having no help on defense will also be a problem for Washington with the concern of if defensive end Chase Young will be healthy or not to play all 17 games. 2-15 is the prediction for the Washington Commanders.
