And, extra unhealthy information for the remainder of the league? Take a look at who the Eagles, Giants and Cowboys should play going ahead. Sure, they’ll beat up a bit on one another, however the NFC East bought the nice fortune of dealing with the NFC North and AFC South.
Out of Philadelphia’s remaining 11 regular-season video games, the Eagles solely play two groups with data greater than a sport above .500; the Cowboys and Giants. Dallas and New York are in the identical scenario, simply add within the 5-1 Minnesota Vikings.
Barring accidents or whole meltdowns within the lackluster NFC, all three are going to make the playoffs.
Within the summertime, the NFC East was thought of a weakling.
Come autumn, they’ll dealing out some punishment, and for those who might discover that parlay someplace, one hell of a payout.
