Regular Season Win Totals Update (NFC East)

The Giants have the seventh-easiest schedule heading into this year as well, giving them a strong chance to squeak out of this struggling NFC East division.

Philadelphia Eagles (+400)

• April 24: 6½ -135o/+105u
• May 17: 6½ -125/-105

Philadelphia was able to snag two solid offensive players out of the draft in the first two rounds. They traded up to snag DeVonta Smith to pair with his former Alabama teammate Jalen Hurts. They badly needed an elite playmaker at wideout and Smith is a dynamic weapon that can help. Then they selected an offensive lineman, Landon Dickerson, in the second round to give their young quarterback Hurts some more protection.

According to their opponents’ winning percentage last year, the Eagles also happen to have the easiest schedule in the league. Philadelphia still has quite a bit of holes to fill over the next few months and may not be ready to compete in the division just yet but picking up an elite receiver and an offensive lineman could help Hurts in the long run. They have improved overall and the weakest schedule in the league could help them improve their win total also.

Dallas Cowboys (+110)

• April 24: 9½ +110o/-140u
• May 17: 9½ +110o/-140u

The Dallas Cowboys are doing everything they can to avoid having one of the worst defenses in the league once again. Their first six picks in this 2021 NFL Draft were all used to improve their defense with the most notable pick of the bunch being the linebacker Micah Parsons in the first round. Not to mention the fact that they were able to trade back in order to snag him, so they got good value.

They struggled quite a bit last year without Dak Prescott but now that he will be coming back with a revamped defense that could have a lot younger talent, they could improve. They lucked out when it comes to their schedule, having the second easiest schedule in the league, trailing only the Eagles. This team was so underwhelming last season but a lot of that was due to injuries. They might be primed for a big turnaround in 2021.

Washington Football Team (+225)

• April 24: 8½ -120o/-110u
• May 17: 8½ -125/-105

The Washington Football Team was able to win this division last year with just seven wins. Though it seemed as if they were improving as the year went along — especially on the defensive side of the ball. That unit was stellar all season, but they chose to improve upon that side even further in the draft. They nabbed Kentucky linebacker Jamin Davis in the first round, bolstering one of the best units. Davis should be able to instantly make an impact.

Washington is heading into this year as early favorites to win the division, but they, unfortunately, have the 15th hardest schedule in the NFL. That’s because they’ll face a number of first-place teams.
