Around the NFL: NFC East (Preseason Predicitons)

[SmootSmack]

Eagles: 11-5: Every year I say this is the year they'll falter. But they never do. I'm not sure how they'll manage without Freddie Mitchell and Todd Pinkston but somehow they'll find a way.

Redskins: 11-5: Wild Card. Wishful thinking? Maybe. But with the defense the Skins have they only need to be slightly better on offense. And really a lot of that comes down to better clock management and fewer penalties, not just talent. I don't think there will be any "Has Gibbs lost it" talk this season

Cowboys: 8-8: I don't think Bledsoe is going to enjoy any sort of career revival in Dallas, and I keep hearing that Henson continues to struggle. And I really doubt Romo is the guy. They're going to run Julius Jones into the ground and while he's good he's not enough to carry this team. Plus I'm interested to see how all the new players gel in the new defense

Giants: 6-10: Somebody has to finish in the cellar
