We'll get back to horse racing soon. This is a lull in the season. Now, even the horse players are focused on the NFL. Who will be better? Who will be worse.
In this analysis, I simply take what the teams had, what they lost and gained, and weigh all the potentials. For example, 3 first and second round draft pick linebackers in their third year would translate into at least 2 successes.
NFC East:
1. NEW YORK GIANTS figure to win about 12 games and have the best shot to win the division. They are especially strong in the running game, but also are very good in pass offense, pass defense, and rush offense.
2. WASHINGTON REDSKINS have an aged offensive line, and that does fit well with a defense that will be near the best in the NFL. They should take about 11 wins and be in the playoffs.
