I'm running my own broke crappy version of Sports Center. Group consensus team will move on and eventually we'll do playoffs and superbowl. Ten points gets awarded to the person who best makes their case for the team they picked

Be sure to add wild cards if you think there will be any!

Dallas Cowboys. I believe they have the most complete team in the NFC East. They have one of the best coaching staffs in the NFC, the best offense in the East, potentially one of the best defenses in the NFL, and with Vanderjadgt they've got one of the best special teams groups in the NFL.
Dallas has homerun hitters everywhere on offense and a QB that can get it to them. TO is one of the most dangerous WR's in the NFL, Terry Glenn led the NFL in average per catch with those that had 50 or more catches, Jason Witten is one of the best TE's in the NFL, Julius Jones is capable of dropping 150 on anyone, and Marion Barber is a solid backup. The offensive line has some questions but it is better than last year's version.
Dallas should have a top defense. The 2nd year players Marcus Spears, Chris Canty, and DeMarcus Ware are ready for big years. If the defense can stay healthy I see no reason why it should not be as feared as the Steelers defense.
Dallas lost 3 games last year that they should have won if they had only had a decent kicker. Now, you can't win them all in the NFL today. But even if they had just won one of those games they would have made the playoffs last year. This offseason Dallas added the most accurate kicker in NFL history. They also added several special teams aces to an already strong special teams group...maybe to counter Vanderjadgt's questionable kickoffs.
A lot of people will say that TO is going to disrupt the Cowboys and break up the team. But if there is one coach in the NFL today capable of controlling TO it would be Bill Parcells. But history also tells us that TO will be a "choirboy" this year. And in my eyes his contract is win-win for both parties involved. TO gets his big clump of money every year of the contract and if he does start crying the Cowboys can cut him without a significant cap hit.
As a Cowboys fan I must admit I love how the NFC East is so very strong again. I missed those days when the NFC East was winning 4 Superbowls in a row and 5 out of 6.

Well there is no need to talk about the Eagles....they are going to have a "rebuilding" year. The Cowboys and Redskins have made some key additions to make the NFC east one of the most competitive conferences in all of football. The Giants seem to be the best all around team. Eli has been getting better every game and should have better command. Tiki is coming off a record year. WR's look good and most importantly look at the defense. The defense was already a monster last year and that was with all of the linebackers being hurt. The combo of Osi, Arrington, and Strahan will be deadly. It won't be easy but the Giants should make it pretty far into the playoffs.

I'm going to say the Eagles, because they focused on the most important positions - the linemen - in the off-season rather than high-profile glamour positions. This is the approach that got the Panthers back to the top of the league following their post-Supe meltdown, and it will work for the Eagles, too. Both the Cowboys and the Redskins are a blown Achilles and a torn ACL away from breakdowns in either the O-line or D-line. The Giants still have a good team, but this year they have a division winners schedule, perhaps the toughest in the league.
The Eagles went to the NFC championship game 4 years in a row on the strength of their line play and secondary. They were bitten by the "losers curse" last year, but they will be back this year. (On the other coast, look for the Cardinals to win the division when the Seahawks feel the curse).

The Cowboys win the division. TO will want to perform at his best to shut up the critics. Bledsoe isn't as good as he used to be, but with the O-Line that Dallas has, the balanced run and pass and their solid defense, there are few weaknesses with this team.
New York football Giants finish second and earn a wild card spot. Offensively, this team is a juggernaut and will put up the points. Their defence is only average but will play well enough for them to win most games.
Washington finishes third but does not get a wildcard spot. They have most of the pieces but just don't seem to be able to put it together. I don't know if Gibbs just can't adjust to the new NFL or if they just lack leadership, but they can't go out and consistently win.
Philadelphia finishes last as they learn how to play without any weapons again. The defence has too many holes and Westbrook will wear down throughout the year.

I think the Redskins have a very good chance to take the division. Joe Gibbs took the team to the second round of the playoffs last year with a questionable offensive scheme. Now, he's ready to hand the offense over to one of the true innovators of the past five years, Al Saunders. Just considering what his Kansas City blocking schemes can do for Clinton Portis is enough to push them past the Giants, Cowboys and Eagles in my opinion. This is all before I start thinking about their defense, which was ranked higher than any other NFC East team last season.

I'm thinking the Giants win the division, with the Redskins getting the wildcard. These are both excellent teams. As far as the Cowboys go, they will be good as well, but I don't know how Cowboy fans could possibly cheer for T.O. after all of the crap he has pulled in their stadium over the years, and after all the other crap he has done. If my favorite team picked him up, I don't know if I could even be a fan anymore.

The Redskins, because they have ton's of quality backups at every position (with the exception of the corner position) they can go three deep and have little drop off in quality ,on either side of the ball. The other teams in the division lack depth and are therefore ill equipped for the long haul.

Atlanta Falcons because they now hold some of my favorite college teams best players. They have D.J. Shockly from Georgia nd they have Leonard Pope.

Dallas. Parcells is an awesome coach. TO is going to be a team player (at least for his first year), and that is going to make a big difference.
