When was the last time the NFCE has had a repeat winner? I'm not more worried about the Eagles than I am the Giants or Washington. Really the only team I worry about is Dallas. If they play to their potential they'll be in the mix. Let's see how the first month or two goes. The Eagles lost a lot of players and I want to see Hurts do it twice before I think he is the QB he was last year.
One thing I will say is Philly got a huge break with the first place schedule. The two first place teams are Minnesota and Tampa. Is that significantly harder than the last place schedule of Chicago and Atlanta? Most years it's a huge difference.
