Prediction Time

I was going to make this post about my experience in Dallas, but I'll save that for the next post... I wanted to go over my thoughts and predictions of the NFC East for the rest of the season, so that's what the hell I'm doing... Sometimes I make predictions and I'm close, sometimes I'm way off, but either way, it's fun.

As of now... Week 10... The Giants lead the division at 6-3, Dallas is close behind at 5-4, while Washington and Philly both trail at 3-6.

Let's start with The Giants... Their next game is a Sunday Night game against the Eagles, which I think they win, propelling them to 7-3. After that is New Orleans, which will probably be a close game, but I'm giving the victory to The Saints, next game after that is Green Bay which they'll probably lose and then is the Dallas game at Cowboys stadium... they will hopefully lose that game and have a 7-6, record. If they heat up down the stretch they could win their final 3 against Washington, The Jets and they will probably split the Dallas game and win the last one... I could see NY finishing at 10-6.

Next... Washington... I don't think they will win this week against Dallas (at least I hope they don't.) They might have a win against Seattle the next week and go to 4-7, but after that I predict another 3 game losing streak against The Jets, New England and The Giants, making them 4-10. Their final two games are against Minnesota and Philly and I think they could win those and get to 6-10.

Philadelphia Eagles... The dream team that wasn't... I see them losing their next two against The Giants and New England, putting them at 3-8. They could probably win the next two, Seattle and Miami, going 5-8. I don't think they'll finish strong (although they often play better in the second part of year, so I may be way off.) Their last 3 games are The Giants, Dallas and Washington, and if they lose all 3 they will finish their season at 5-11.

And finally, The Dallas 'Football' Cowboys... Of course I hope they win all of the rest of their games, but that's a bit unrealistic. I can hope victories in the next two games, Washington and Thanksgiving against Miami... this will put Dallas at 7-4. I think it's winnable, but I would look far too bias if I said they win too many games, so let's say they lose in Arizona and go 7-5. It's possible they reel off the next 3 games into victories against The Giants, Tampa Bay and Philly and stand at 10-5. I hope I'm wrong, but I think they'll split the series and lose the last game against The Giants going 10-6 and if all my predictions stand, putting them in a first place tie with NY... I didn't go as far as figure the tie-breaking, but these are my guesses as of now.
