The NFC East has the potential to be one of the most exciting divisions in the NFL. Between Chip Kelly’s dynamic offense, the Cowboy’s offensive line, and players such as Odell Beckham Jr. and DeMarco Murray, any game involving these teams can be fun to watch even if you’re not a fan of these teams. As of this past season, however, only the Cowboys (12-4-0) and the Eagles (10-6-0) were able to keep things interesting and obtain a winning record. The Giants (6-10-0) went two wins short of going even and the Redskins were tied for the third worst record in the league along with the Jets at 4-12-0.

Here are my predictions for the NFC East for the 2015-16 season.

Philadelphia Eagles:

Key additions: Kiko Alonso, DeMarco Murray, Sam Bradford, Nelson Agholor (rookie first round draft pick)

Key losses: Nick Foles, LeSean McCoy, Jeremy Maclin, Trent Cole

The Eagles traded star running back LeSean McCoy to the Bills for linebacker Kiko Alonso this offseason, while also trading Nick Foles to the Rams for quarterback and former Heisman winner Sam Bradford. Their last and biggest deal was when they signed the NFL’s leading rusher last season, former Cowboy DeMarco Murray. In addition to these trades, five of their six draft picks were defensive, so look for them to focus on establishing a strong defense while also keeping their run game strong.

Season prediction: I believe that the Eagles will do well and probably win the division but the overall success of the team depends on how well Sam Bradford is able to play and if he is able to remain healthy. If he has a bad season, it is unlikely that Murray will be able to save them.

Record: 11-5-0

Dallas Cowboys:

Key Additions: Darren McFadden, Byron Jones (rookie first round pick), Randy Gregory

Key Losses: DeMarco Murray

The Cowboys will likely have a good season, but not as good as this past season. With the loss of Murray, and their current running back situation of Joseph Randle and newly signed Darren McFadden, they likely won’t have nearly as strong of a running game. Granted, their offensive line is one of the best in the game, if not the best, but Murray was able to gain extra yardage once he was past his blockers. Luckily, they were able to re-sign their star receiver Dez Bryant just in time, so the passing game will be just fine.

Prediction: With strong additions to their defense from the draft, along with signing defensive end Randy Gregory, they will likely try to do the same as the Eagles and try to have a strong defense to make up for their slightly weaker offense. I foresee them coming a close second to the Eagles.

Record: 10-6-0

New York Giants:

Key additions: Ereck Flowers (rookie first round draft pick), Shane Vereen

Key losses: Potentially Jason Pierre-Paul

The Giants had some pretty serious injuries in the previous season and during the offseason. Victor Cruz tore his patella tendon in Week 6 against the Eagles, while Jason Pierre-Paul had to have his right index finger amputated after a fireworks accident this past Fourth of July. Cruz will likely start the season, but Pierre-Paul is still up in the air seeing as he hasn’t signed a long-term deal with the Giants yet and it is still unclear how his injury will affect his play.

Other than having a decent draft class, drafting an even balance of offense and defense players, the Giants haven’t made any real splashes. Their biggest signing this offseason was their first round draft pick, offensive tackle Ereck Flowers. Running back Shane Vereen is also an important free agent signing and will help take the load off Rashad Jennings and help out in the passing game as well.

Prediction: I’d imagine they’d improve a little from last season depending on if their key players remain healthy.

Record: 8-8-0

Washington Redskins:

Key Additions: Terrance Knighton, Brandon Scherff (rookie first round pick), Dashon Goldson

Key losses: Mike Mitchell, Roy Helu Jr, Brian Orakpo

The Redskins are a team that, for the most part, hasn’t really improved since last season. They drafted six offensive players including Iowa offensive tackle Brandon Scherff at fifth overall, which was a solid pick if they want to keep Robert Griffin III healthy this season. Also, trading for safety Dashon Goldson from Tampa Bay might help out their struggling secondary and signing defensive tackle Terrance Knighton adds on to an already stacked front seven.

Along with these players, they also re-signed quarterback Colt McCoy, which will likely pan out to be a good move because odds are that starting quarterback Robert Griffin III will either get hurt again or have a sub-par performance that is far from his rookie season. This will force them to start McCoy once again to see if he can revitalize their season.

Prediction: All in all, I don’t see the Redskins improving from last season. They brought in some new talent but will it be enough for them to drastically improve? I don’t think so. Unless their players severely step up their game, their season outlook is dim.

Record: 4-12-0

The NFL always has teams that surprise us, however. Even giants can fall given the right circumstances. Just look at what the St. Louis Rams did to the Seahawks when they beat them 28-26 with a trick play during a punt that resulted in the game winning touchdown. All it takes is one slip or one good run of form to change a team’s entire season.
