Are the Dallas Cowboys favorites in the NFC East?

Dallas Cowboys
Before the season started, I thought that the Dallas Cowboys were going to win the division. The road got really cloudy but I still think that the Dallas Cowboys can pull it off. Their inspiring play has created hope that they can still get to the team’s first goal of winning the division.
A huge step of making that goal a reality is beating Washington on Thursday night. The Cowboys will then play Baltimore next Thursday night. Baltimore has been in a bit of a rut so it is not out of the realm of possibility that Dallas can win that game also.
Dallas will then have ten days to prepare to play the Burrow-less Bengals. San Francisco is the week 15 matchup and the Dallas Cowboys could very well win that game as well. The 49ers have dealt with just as many injuries as the Cowboys did earlier in the season.
The Philadelphia game in week 16 could be monumental. I suspect the loser will be eliminated from playoff contention. The last week of the season Dallas travels to New York in what could be a win-and-your-in situation for both of these teams.
The Dallas Cowboys have the easiest remaining schedule while Philadelphia has the hardest. The Cowboys have surprised us all and I believe are the favorites heading towards the finish line. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
