There are two teams that we think are going to make the playoffs, with the Cowboys winning the division and the Eagles bringing home the wild card. It's going to be a dog fight once again and along with the NFC West this will be one of the toughest divisions top to bottom in the league.

1st Place - Dallas Cowboys - The Cowboys will be better off this season with Tony Romo bringing in 11 games of experience as the starting quarterback. Hopefully Terrell Owens can stay happy, because he should be healthy this year without having to deal with a hamstring injury to start the season and the finger problem that was causing him to drop so many passes should be healed. The defense should improve under mastermind Wade Phillips. He wants to use more zone-blitz and one of the beneficiaries should be Roy Williams. He'll also have Ken Hamlin to help out in the secondary, who is coming over from Seattle. This team should have beat the Seahawks in the playoffs last year, and Jerry Jones thinks this year's team has all the tools they need to make the Super Bowl this year.

2nd Place - Philadelphia Eagles - Can Donovan McNabb stay healthy? This is the biggest question mark concerning the Eagles as he has had problems in his career staying on the field. There is no Jeff Garcia now to back him up, which could cause problems if McNabb misses any time. If McNabb is on the field then him and Brian Westbrook will be more than enough to lead this offense to the promise land. The defense is questionable as they have a lot of young players who will need to step up this year. The team was terrible against the run last year, so Brodrick Bunkley is going to be looked upon to have a big year as the primary run stuffer.

3rd Place - Washington Redskins - This team went from a playoff team who made the conference semis in 2005 to a team that barely got to five wins a year ago. The roster hasn't changed a whole lot, except the team has a new offensive leader in Jason Campbell. He's been working hard in the off-season to improve, and if he can develop into the quarterback Washington thinks he can this team will compete for the division. The running game should be set with two of the best in Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts. The defense needs to get pressure on the opposing pass throwers, because the secondary was upgraded with Fred Smoot and the drafting of LaRon Landry.

4th Place - New York Giants - The Giants barely squeaked their way into the playoffs last season with Tiki Barber carrying the load. Now the Giants are going to have to win without their best player from a year ago, and we think they'll have trouble doing so. Eli Manning has shown flashes of brilliance and he's also been a big disappointment, this season he needs to show more of the former. The defense has everyone back, but they were 25th in the league last year so that's not necessarily a good thing. Tom Coughlin earned himself a one year extension with a playoff berth last year, but there will be no such playoff spot for them this season.
