1. The Cowboys Win the NFC East Again

This is probably one of the most hotly debated topics in the NFL right now. The last time a team won the NFC East in back-to-back years was when the Eagles did so in 2003 and 2004. Will the Cowboys break that streak? That highly depends on who you ask.

Some analysts believe that Philly’s impressive free agency and draft additions will catapult them to the top of the division. Names like James Bradberry, Nakobe Dean, Jordan Davis, Haason Reddick, and A.J. Brown (amongst many others) certainly make the 2022 Eagles far different from the team the Cowboys saw in 2021.

Plus, one of the Cowboys’ victories against the Eagles was in the final game of the season where most of the starters sat for a majority of the game.

The good news for Dallas is that the Commanders and Giants should still be easy victories. The Giants still have a ton of question marks and Carson Wentz likely isn’t the golden answer in Washington D.C. Plus, the quarterback is still a sore spot for the Eagles. Jalen Hurts has shown potential but certainly hasn’t emerged as a top quarterback in this league. As long as Hurts struggles to prove his worth, Philly will struggle, too.

The NFC East won’t be as much of a cakewalk as it was in 2021 for Dallas, but can they end a 17-year streak and run it back?
