In the early part of the season, it looked as though the NFC East was going to be one of the tightest divisions in football. As the season progressed, though, the Dallas Cowboys put their stamp of authority on the proceedings, and the Philadelphia Eagles went into a tailspin. It was a tale of two untested QB’s, with Dak Prescott shining in Dallas, while Carson Wentz succumbed to the pressure of life as a starter in Philly. The Eagles are all but out of it now, but they can still have a say in the playoff race, as they can put a dent in the Redskins hopes this weekend at Lincoln Financial Field. The Redskins are starting to get to the desperate point after dropping two straight games, but can get themselves right back into the Wild Card picture with a win this coming weekend. These division games tend to be tough to call, and that’s the way the bookies see it, too, as they have the Redskins in as a slight 1-point favorite.
