NFC East Preview

Heading into the weekend the Eagles who can not seem to find a way to win will look to try and bounce back against the Panthers. While the Giants have their hands full with trying to stay a top the East on Sunday against the Packers. Here is what to watch.

Philadelphia Eagles vs Carolina Panthers
One of the main reasons why the Eagles have fallen so far since starting 3-1, is because they are just turnover prone. The Eagles have only forced 10 turnovers the whole season, and given away the ball 24 times. Turnovers are the most important part of the game, and that is why the Eagles are doing terrible. It also doesn't help that Vick is out currently with a concussion, he wasn't amazing in the turnover game but back up Foles isn't doing any better. In this game, 2 things need to happen in order for the Eagles to win. They need to stop Newton, he is a very dangerous player both by throwing and rushing, the Eagles defense has been struggling so it will be a big test. And the other thing is the offense needs to get going and can't turn the ball over. McCoy is out for this game which really hurts the offense, he is a player who can always be relied on. My prediction is the Eagles will not be able to stop the turnovers. How ever they will do a good job of containing Newton, but the turnovers will prove to be too much and they will lose a close one.
Panthers win 21-17

New York Giants vs Green Bay Packers
You could say this is a must win game for the Giants. Both the Redskins and Cowboys are closing in on them and the Giants schedule is not helping. They have a very hard schedule to end the season, beating the Packers would be a great spirit booster and could help them get through the other teams. The only problem is, the Packers have been on fire. They have won 5 straight games and show no sign of slowing down, the Giants will need to be perfect in this game if they want the win. The main thing that has to happen is Manning needs to play like he does in the playoffs. He has had barely any games where his stats are amazing, the only reason why they have 6 wins is because of their defense right now. And against Rodgers, Manning knows he has to be able to stay with him the entire game and keep putting up points. My prediction is the Packers offense will prove too much, and they will win the game to make the race even closer for the NFC East.
Packers win 35-17

Go Cowboys!
