Preview NFC East

This week the playoff hopes for each of the 3 leaders in the East, can either be gone or increased. Here is what to look for in each of the NFC East games.

Philadelphia Eagles vs Washington Redskins
With RGIII expected to make his return the chances of the Eagles beating the Redskins is not very high. RGIII is such a dominate player and this Eagles will have not have a chance in stopping him completely. What the Eagles need to do try and get their run game going for Foles. McCoy is expected to play so if the Eagles can get him going then pressure is taken off Foles to throw and he will make less mistakes. RGIII and the Redskins only have to make sure they do not make any mistakes, or else the Eagles might be able to capitalize on that. This will not be an easy win for the Redskins, the Eagles recently had a great comeback win against the Bucs and Foles might be able to pull of another upset. I think RGIII will not be as good after the knee injury and will mess up in this game. The Eagles will get a win in over time.
My Prediction - Eagles win 28-25 OT

New York Giants vs Baltimore Ravens
After a terrible loss to the Falcons the Giants have another big test. Manning will have to be in playoff form to win this game. So far this season Manning has had a few great games and then the rest of the team he has either been throwing interceptions or just not completing any passes. The defense also needs to really show up. Joe Flacco has not been consistent but he can really explode sometimes and the Giants will have to watch out. I think that the Giants will not be able to bounce back though, they will continue their slump and fall back in the race for the playoffs. Not making the playoffs after winning the super bowl.
My Prediction - Giants lose 21-14

And I already talked about how I predict the Cowboys to beat the Saints 24-14 and take the NFC East lead!

Go Cowboys!
