Who can sleep .... I feel like a little kid on Christmas Eve all giddy with anticipation.

Predictions:

Philadelphia 12-4
Washington 9-7
Dallas 7-9
New York 5-11

My Prediction:

The bottom 2 are about right. I don't think Phili will get 12 Ws - more like 10~11.

The Skins will do better than 9 Ws more like 10~12 Ws.

thats pretty much how i see it order of finish with skins going 9-7 10-6 . as much as it really hurts me to say this philly is still the team to beat in the n.f.c. east. REDSKINZ4EVER !!!!

Philly's established. That means something. They radically improved at WR with T.O. but that running back spot is iffy now that C-Buck is out.

But I'm always the conservative type. I'll go 9-7 but, for the first time in 5 years, the December games are going to MEAN SOMETHING!

Skins 10-6
Dallas 10-6 (Skins in first b/c we sweep Dallas)
Philly 8-8
Giants 3-13

Don't sleep on Dallas' defense, which carried them last year and actually should be better this year. If Vinny plays 13 games, they will contend for the division title.

Philly has had some key injuries to the D-line, and will be hard pressed to stop the run as a result. Plus, with no running game, defenses will now be able to double up on TO. Philly is the team to beat right now, but they will slide big time this year.

Giants just don't have the talent. Tiki is great, but that's it. Thier O-line is so awful at pass blocking, I doubt Warner makes it past the first 2 games intact.

Skins have the talent, but do they have the chemistry? LaVar's comments this week convinced me that they do. Critics say the defense isn't good enough, but there was a reason Williams was the most sought after defensive mind this past year.
