Preview NFC East

As the race for the playoffs keeps tightening up, any simple slip up by any of the top 3 teams in the East can take them out. Here is what to look for in the NFC East.

New York Giants vs Atlanta Falcons
This is the game that could make all 3 teams leading the East be in a tie. The New York Giants are leading the East by one game but play one of the best teams in the league, the Falcons. The Falcons are one of the best because they do such a good job at the balanced offense along with a solid defense. Matt Ryan has 2 of the best receivers in the league along with 2 great running backs. Eli will have to have a great game if he wants to win, he can not be mediocre this week. That also goes for the Giants defense, the Falcons are known for the big plays and they can not give up too many if they want the win. But I think Eli will choke in this game, the Falcons will win by a touchdown and the race for the playoffs will become closer in the NFC East.
My prediction - Giants Lose 24-17

Washington Redskins vs Cleveland Browns
This simply looks like a game where the Redskins will totally destroy and take a share of the division lead. The Redskins have a great offense and an improving defense as they try to make a push for the playoffs. But the Browns could surprise them. The Browns have been able to hang in there with a lot of great teams, they were just not able to finish it in the end. The Redskins just need to stay consistent through out the game to get this victory. As for the Browns, the defense needs to be able to get off the field quick and Weeden needs to stay perfect for the whole game. This game will not be a blow out, but I think the Redskins will be able to hang in there to get a share of the East lead.
My prediction - Redskins Win 28-27

The Eagles played last night and got blown out by the Bengals, including 6 turnovers. While also blocking their own punt. This game just adds to the terrible season the Eagles are having. My advice is to maybe look for another QB in the draft. Vick seems to already be out of question and Foles has only produced one win this season, it might be time for another change.

And I already talked about how I predict the Cowboys to beat the Steelers 20-17.

So after this week I am predicting each of the top teams in the East will be 8-6 to make the race for the playoffs even closer.

Go Cowboys!
