Will the Eagles dominate again in 2018?
The defending Super Bowl Champions – Philadelphia Eagles are -155 favorites for most online sportsbooks to win back-to-back division titles for the first time since 2004.
Here is a breakdown of each NFC East team’s chance to win the division:
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
ODDS TO WIN NFC EAST -155
Typically, when a team wins a Super Bowl, the chances of retaining that roster can be a challenge due to salary cap restrictions or players looking to cash in after a successful year. The Eagles are not dealing with such challenges. Instead of losing key players, they added former defensive Pro Bowlers Michael Bennett and Haloti Ngata to an already dominant defense. The Eagles were third in points per game and fourth in points allowed last season, making them the only team in the NFL to rank in the top five in both categories. Can the Eagles stay healthy and prove the -155 odds are not far fetched?
DALLAS COWBOYS
ODDS TO WIN NFC EAST +375
America’s team is coming off a frustrating season. Their stud running back Ezekiel Elliott was suspended for six games and Dez Bryant didn’t ever seem to be 100% healthy. Bryant has moved on, and Elliott seems poised to have another big year. With one of the toughest schedules this year in the NFL – the Cowboys will face 13 teams that finished with a winning record. If Dak Prescott can gel with this year’s receivers, the Cowboys could be worth taking a flier on at +375
NEW YORK GIANTS
ODDS TO WIN NFC EAST +500
The Giants can only improve after a dismal 2017 season. The Giants running game got a significant boost with No. 2 overall pick Saquon Barkley. At +500, the value is decent as the Giants are looking to win the division for the first time since 2011.
WASHINGTON REDSKINS
ODDS TO WIN NFC EAST +750
Exit Quarterback Kirk Cousins. Enter Alex Smith. Smith is a solid game manager that typically produces winning records. He has enough tools around him to be successful – including the recent addition of Running Back Adrian Peterson. The question will be the Redskins defense – who allowed the most rushing yards in the NFL last year. At +750, the Skins might be worth taking a flier on at online sportsbooks.
