#3 The Philadelphia Eagles

Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook and Mike Vick in the backfield, with a defense that has been great for years. Although Jim Johnson has since passed away - his next in line has been with the team for a number of years, so that ultimately won't be an issue.

I am a big believer in Jackson, he gives McNabb a great target.

One thing that should be mentioned, was as I was filling these out, the NFC East was the division I feared the most as an opponent, and now that the script is flipped, it is pretty easy to see how they face some tough teams. The only teams I can legit see beating the Eagles are the Chargers, Bears (because it's in Chicago) and one of the games against the Giants.

I can see the Eagles going 12 - 4 or 11 - 5. Expect big things from the Eagles.

Or a 5 - 11 campaign could happen...We'll just have to wait and see

The NFC East is going to be incredibly interesting this year.

Washington might have one of those schedules where you look at every game, and think "loss, win, win, loss" etc. However the actual team itself is one of the most - "either going to be great" or "going to suffer" kind of teams. Jason Campbell only threw for 13 TDs and 6 INT's last year. It's not awful but they need far more. Clinton Portis, a pro-bowler, ran for 1,487 but carried the ball 342 times. That is going to weaken him significantly. In my opinion, the Redskins this year will fall on the shoulders of Campbell. He still has a lot to prove and will either dominate or falter this year.

Cowboys, Eagles, Giants...no easy games.

I can see the Redskins reeling off wins against the Rams, Lions and Tampa with some momentum going into the Carolina game and possibly the Chiefs. After that? The only other win is against the Raiders - but I can see the Raiders beating the Redskins on matchups alone.

This is without question the most difficult team to predict in my opinion. How will Haynesworth impact the division? That could give them HUGE advantages over the Giants which will mean more wins. I hate to say this, but I can see them going anywhere from 6 - 10 to 10 - 6.

I'll say 9-7, but the NFC East is going to be a heck of a division this year.
