Preview NFC East

This week could determine a new NFC East leader or even a 3 way tie for 1st place in the NFC East. But no body can really tell who will get that top spot at the end of this week, each of the top 3 teams play tough games and will be close ones. Here is what to watch.

Philadelphia Eagles vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers
This game has no effect on the NFC East what so ever. The Eagles haven't won a game since week 4 and that streak may continue. Foles has not won a game yet since taking over for Vick after he got a concussion. The turnovers have kept coming and so have the losses. The Eagles don't even have a .01% chance of making the playoffs, another year being called the dream team, and another year of failure. And the chances of winning this game are not so good. The Bucs have found a bit of a groove lately. They have won 5 of the last 8 and look to make it 6. Rookie Doug Martin has been on fire and shows no sign of slowing down, while Freeman has also been hot. If the Eagles want to even think about coming close, making sure they do not turn the ball over is the most essential thing.
My Prediction - Eagles lose 28-14

New York Giants vs New Orleans Saints
Now the games start to get interesting. The Giants are leading the division by 1 game but have lost 3 of the last 4. While Drew Brees and the Saints have been making a comeback since starting 0-4. This game will be a huge offensive show down. Both defenses have been giving up a ton of yards this season, and with Manning and Brees at QB, this will be a high scoring game. This will really come down to who makes the least amount of mistakes. Who ever does not turn the ball over the most and can convert on third downs and in the red zone. I think that the Giants will continue their slump though, Manning will be inconsistent and not be of any help.
My Prediction - Giants lose 32-21

Washington Redskins vs Baltimore Ravens
This game will definitely be a good one. Both teams have struggling defenses, but powerful offenses. Now the Ravens can be powerful, but are sometimes inconsistent. Joe Flacco needs time to throw and Ray Rice needs good blocks in order to get going. Luckily for them they play one of the worst defenses. As for the Redskins they have the best rushing attack thanks to Morris and RGIII. The Ravens defense will have to really try and get interceptions because stopping the run game is not going to be easy. This game will be a close one, Rice and Flacco need to step up, and RGIII can not make mistakes through the air. And the Ravens are familiar with close games. 7 of their games this year have been decided by 3 points or less, 5 of those were wins.
My Prediction - Redskins lose 35-32

And I already talked about how I predict the Cowboys to get the win over the Bengals 20-17, and move up to have a share of the East lead with the Giants.

Go Cowboys!
