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.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
