NFC East Preview

Philadelphia Eagles

Predicted Record: 12-4
Playoff Seed: 1


Key Player: Athletic Trainer, the Eagles are very good when they are healthy. So the key person for the Eagles is the Athletic Trainer. If he gets a lot of action than the Eagles are in trouble. However if McNabb and Kearse and Westbrook can stay on the field than they could finish where I have them. The #1 team in the NFC.

Fantasy Player to Eye: Reggie Brown, Brown is quickly emerging as a solid every week wideout. And to make his case even stronger this season, Stallworth is gone so he should be McNabb's #1 target. #1 productive wideouts are priceless in fantasy football and Brown could be a steal at where he's being selected.

Why the Record: Call me crazy but I think this is the year that the Eagles stay healthy again. They went 10-6 last season with Jeff Garcia and proclaim all you like about how well Garcia played, McNabb is light years ahead of Garcia in talent. Westbrook is also amongst the most dynamic players in the NFL and a healthy season from both of them will equal a lot of Ws.

Projected Wins: WAS, @NYG, @NYJ, CHI, DAL, @WAS, MIA, SEA, NYG, @DAL, @NO, @BUF
Projected Losses: @GB, DET, @MIN, @NE,

New York Giants

Predicted Record: 9-7

Key Player: Eli Manning, Obviously this a season with a lot of pressure on Eli's shoulder. No longer does he have a douche bag, I mean top #5 running back in his backfield. However, he still has malcontents on the wings with Shockey and Plaxico.

Fantasy Player to Eye: Sinorice Moss, It's not a Tooma is coming off a torn ACL, and while he may be able to get a solid amount of PT this season Sinorice should emerge as the #2 wideout on the G-Men.

Why the Record: The Giants defense was miserable down the stretch last season. Their secondary was horrible, they blew a few games such as the Titans Kiwi non tackle tackle. Tiki was a big loss but I think their offense is going to still put up big points. I think Jacobs will be solid out of the backfield and most of all I think Eli Manning is going to have a big breakout season.

Projected Wins: GB, @WAS, @ATL, SF, @MIA, DAL, @DET, MIN, WAS
Projected Losses: @DAL, PHI, NYJ, @CHI, @PHI, @BUF, NE

Dallas Cowboys

Predicted Record: 5-11

Key Player: Tony Homo & T.O. Chemistry, The key to the season is maintaining T.O. and Tony Homo's gay buddy buddy relationship and putting a muzzle on T.O. so he doesn't say any more stupid shit like I'd rather have Donovan McNabb as my QB. If T.O. doesn't blow up and Homo plays like he did at the tail end of last season the Cowboys could make the Superbowl like many are predicting.

Fantasy Player to Eye: Julius Jones, Personally I'm staying away from both Dallas Running Backs like the plague. However, eventually one has to think that Julius Jones, who remains the starter will get some goal line touches. Right, he'll take away some of Marion Barber's usefuleness?

Why the Record: I really can't explain why when going through each games Dallas was at the end of my picks. I guess I just think Wade Philips sucks at life, TO is due for a blowup and Tony Romo is overrated. I might have the lowest record for the Cowboys anywhere on the internet and I'm not even a Cowboy hater. Not whatsoever.

Projected Wins: NYG, @CHI, MIN, WAS, GB
Projected Losses: @MIA, STL, @BUF, NE, @PHI, @NYG, NYJ, @DET, PHI, @CAR, @WAS

Washington Redskins

Predicted Record: 3-13

Key Player: Jason Campbell, This will be Jason's first full season in the Big Leagues and I feel as if he's going to need to prove himself if he wants it to be the first of many. In 7 games starting last year he averaged under 200 yards per game and just over 1 td per game. If the Redskins want to not suck this season he's going to need to bump those up a notch or two.

Fantasy Player to Eye: Santana Moss, It's an all Moss fantasy player to eye page. Moss had a terrific 2005 and a so so 2006. One thing is for certain he is inconsistent. One day he'll put up 138 and three tds and the next he'll catch two balls. If you drafted Moss this season (i.e. me) you are hoping for some consistency.

Why the Record: Count me as one who does not believe in Jason Campbell and most certainly does not believe in the Redskins strategy to trade every single draft pick they ever get for an overpriced free agent. It hasn't worked in the past and continues to not work season after season, yet they still have not learned their lesson.

Projected Wins: MIA, ARI, DAL
Projected Losses: @PHI, NYG, DET, @GB, @NE, @NYJ, PHI, @DAL, @TB, BUF, CHI, @NYG, @MIN

I am legitimately impressed with your picks. No one is willing to say that the Cowboys are lacking in talent on both sides of the ball ever since Romo took over. I think your prediction is a bit harsh, but I am amazed that anyone has the guts to actually call it like it is. Cowboys are an 8-8 team at best - since when are a pair of 30+ old receivers scaring anyone? Great calls, I look forward to your redemption at season's end.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
