Does Anyone Want To Win the NFC East?

Good things were supposed to happen in the NFC East this season. The Dallas Cowboys were favored to win with the Philadelphia Eagles not too far behind. Both even had decent odds to win the NFC and had a good shot at Super Bowl glory even.

As for the Washington Football Team and New York Giants, fans had reason to believe their teams would make progress this year. But that was about it.

But then the Dallas Cowboys struggled out of the gate and then lost Dak Prescott for the year. The Philadelphia Eagles had injury issues of their own and have not played well. Dwayne Haskins failed to progress and got benched, and the Giants lost Saquon Barkley for the season—again.

Oh—and Daniel Jones did not appear to be progressing either. Just like that, a division that held promise before the season began became the worst division in the NFL.

Heading into Week 11, the NFC East has seven wins (the Eagles and Giants have three each; Cowboys and Washington have two each). There are six teams in the league with as many wins or more than the entire NFC East.

So—yeah, it is safe to say things have gone really wrong for the NFC East. But regardless of how bad the whole division is, someone must win it.

Oddsmakers held out hope for the Dallas Cowboys for a couple of weeks after Dak Prescott went down, but the Eagles eventually became the new favorite despite their struggles. Washington looked like a potential threat for a couple of weeks but have seen their odds go back up (+800; odds via WilliamHill) as they continued to lose games.

At one time, the Giants saw their odds to win the NFC East climb as high as +4000, now look like they might have a shot (+280). They are on a bye in Week 11 but will look to win their third in a row in Week 12 when they take on the Cincinnati Bengals.
