2014 NFC EAST PREVIEW

Preseason predictions are often ludicrous. Their validity or correctness are completely up to chance. With that in mind, take a look at my somewhat thought out picks for the NFC East.

Dallas Cowboys

Pros: If Tony Romo is healthy for an extended period, their offense will likely be one of the best in the league again.

Cons: Tony Romo's not doing so hot. And their historically bad defense from last year didn't get much better. If it got better at all. Also, Jerry Jones is still convinced that he knows how to run a professional sports team.

Overall: A hobbled Tony Romo and a bad defense will sink the Cowboys' chances. On the bright side, they won't have an 8-8 record for a fourth straight season.

Predicted Record: 6-10, 3rd

New York Giants

Pros: They probably won't make the playoffs after another infuriatingly herky-jerky regular season.

Cons: Their offense has the makings to be absolutely dreadful and their defense likely will also suck. Tom Coughlin's head may explode at some point. That's not cool.

Overall: I can't be the only one who finds the Giants to be intolerable to watch due to their boringness. Luckily, this roster should get better soon due the tire fire I'm predicting.

Predicted Record: 4-12, 4th

Philadelphia Eagles

Pros: The NFC East sucks, the Eagles don't. They'll probably take advantage of it.

Cons: They won't be one of the best teams in the conference when they make the playoffs.

Overall: See Pros.

Predicted Record: 10-6, 1st

Washington Redskins

Pros: They're probably not going to be one of the worst teams in the conference this season.

Cons: RG3 is still wonky from the whole knee-exploding incident. Dan Snyder is an unlikeable prick.

Overall: They have to face the soul-crushing NFC West, but that's balanced out somewhat by going against the perennially shitty AFC South. Also their division sucks.

Predicted Record: 8-8, 2nd

That's all she wrote. Tune in tomorrow for the North divisions.
