1. To win the NFC top seed? Home Field throughout.

2. To win second place and a bye?

3. To win the NFC East? Just to win the east.

4. To make it as a Wild card?

My opinion

1 - 13

2 - 12

3 - 10.5

4 - 9.5

I could be wrong. I am lousy at this.
 
TwoDeep...you are always ball park good, and are worth a read.

I'm going for Dallas and 12...then just sort things out from there.
 
Yikes! without looking too closely at the schedule Im gonna say 11 wins the division and Dallas comes up with 9-10. There is some crazy stat about nobody winning the NFC east 2 years in a row since 2004.
 
The NFC will have some very good teams this season. I think that's good for increasing the wins to advance to the playoffs. I think it will go as follows...

1. 14 wins Rams
2. 13 wins Packers
3. 12 wins Saints
4. 10 wins Cowboys
5. 12 wins Bears
6. 10 wins 49ers
 
We started last year 3-5, but finished 10-6 (plus a playoff win) with only a half-season of Amari, no Fredbeard, and with a washed-up Linehan still calling the plays.

I figure with a full season of Amari, new blood at OC, a resurgent O-line and an improving defense, we could go 12-4 or even 13-3.

Figuring it might take Kellen Moore a game or two at OC to get his feet under him, I’m calling this:

11-5 and a trip to the NFC Champ game (at the least).

Go Cowboys!

Actually those are really good picks. I will agree although I don't think 2nd place in the East wins 9 games or more. I'm guessing 2nd place, Philly, will be 8-8 and miss the playoffs.

I disagree with your first 2 picks. You could be right but I don't see the Rams winning 14 games because Gurley isn't health and won't stay healthy. I don't see the Packers winning 13 games with Chicago and Minnesota in that division. I'm not sold on 49ers either but they have some potential.

I’m confused with #3 and #4 ? How do we win a half of game or is that a tie?

There is also this crazy stat that all the "experts" that agree on the division winner is wrong. Philly is the team most are saying will win the division, seeing as how Philly and Dallas are the 2 best teams in the division one of those stats will be broken this season. Dallas has the overall better roster so I see Dallas breaking that stat.
 
Agree but keep an eye on the Falcons......they're sneaky
Recently they have seemed to have a good year and then a bad year. Last year was their bad year so I could see Atlanta making a run in their division. Tampa is... Well Tampa. Carolina has some holes and Saints lost a big part of their running game with Ingram leaving.

If our key players stay healthy, I believe we win 11 to 12 games. Seems like every year the anal-ysts pick Philly to win the division. Let's hope they are wrong once again.

The answer to your question is, is often injured Wentz the starting QB and savior Foles is gone..... Yes and yes

3. 11
4. 10

So, yea, pretty close to your numbers.
 
It's possible that we'll win 10 games or so but it may well be all that it'll take.

I believe much depends upon how well Wentz's health happens to hold up.

If you're "lousy", then so am I, because my numbers are all close to your own:
  1. 13
  2. 12
  3. 11
  4. 10
I think the NFC, and the NFC East specifically, are going to be highly competitive in 2019.
 
The egirls will be the only competition for us in the East. 11 games should get the East and 12 gets second place and bye.
