The Redskins won the division last year behind steady QB play. Can they repeat as NFC East Champs in 2016 playing a first play schedule?
We only predict one NFC East team to have a winning record so only one playoff team comes from this division.
Dallas Cowboys
Injuries decimated the Cowboys last year as they’re top two offense weaposn were lost for weeks at a time. Tony Romo and Dez Bryant are back and the Cowboys welcome in rookie RB Ezekiel Elliot to run behind one of the league’s best lines. The Cowboys will be much improved from last year’s 4-12 record.
New York Giants
Tom Coughlin is out and Ben McAdoo was promoted from offensive coordinator to head coach. The Giants spent the offseason improving the defense. Steve Spagnuolo has new pass rushers and defensive backs in hopes of recreating some of the great defenses he had in New York years ago.
Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles pulled the plug on the Chip Kelly experiment after what seemed to be too many personnel mistakes. Doug Pederson, an Andy Reid assistant, returns to Philly as head coach.
The big question for the Eagles is who will be the QB. Sam Bradford returns, but Pederson brought Chase Daniel with him from Kansas City and drafted Carson Wentz second overall.
Washington Redskins
The RGIII era is finally over in DC. This is Kirk Cousins’ team and he has high expectations this season after setting a franchise record for passing yards in 2015.
The ‘Skins brought in Josh Norman, the all-pro corner from Carolina. He’ll be tested in this division with Dez Bryant and Odell Beckham Jr. occupying four games.
