It's kind of a funny thing when people talk about schedule strength within the NFC East because each team plays 14 common opponents. There are 6 games against the NFC East teams, then 4 against the NFC South, and 4 against the AFC South. But the other two games do really make that much difference in my mind. The Giants have to play Chicago and Seattle. Meanwhile the Eagles get the Packers and the 49ers. Big difference there. Chicago and Seattle, in my mind, will both be NYG losses. Meanwhile the Packers and 49ers will be ridiculously easy wins for the Eagles.
Of course anything can happen and we don't have a crystal ball. But from where I sit, that's what I'm figuring.
