Just my opinion. NFA: Not Financial Advice.
Just my observations. Posting as it ties out to my contest picks in this thread:
NFC EAST:
*PHI to Make (1.22): One of my chalk picks. Feel like they're well ahead of the field.
...At first, I had a hard time NOT seeing them win the Division. But it is NFL, so there's Year-to-Year variance.
...Eagles have done well in drafting DL/DB. Picked up two good CBs in the 2024 draft. Pass Defense should be a constant.
...RB is a position that gets lip-service. Barkley may be the one RB that stands out. Can't believe they stole him from the Giants.
*WASH was one of my late scratches to MISS. A lot of reasons to see reversal of fortune.
...WASH was fortunate last year. High 4th-down conversion rate. So many wins over bad teams.
...QB Daniels = flavor of the month. Runs the ball often, makes him an Injury risk. Opponents have year of tape on him now.
...McLaurin didn't do his job as team-leader. Got his money. Bad look, may = a bad room.
*Dallas/Giants should be better by default.
