Linebackers are young and inexperienced, so its a gamble. The D-line has had extreme upgrades and will be solid.. especially with Washburn running the D-line.

Agree 100%. Eagles are trying to down play the hype. They definitely improved on paper, but that means nothing. You never want to be the team everybody is talking about in Preseason they never seem to meet expectations.

I really dislike the eagles but based on their schedule there are only 6 teams that they could lose to: Atlanta, Giants (2) Dallas (2), NE, Jets and Chicago. 5 Losses look about right.

I think its all up to Mike Vick... if he improves off his quality year last year, they will be tough. If he gets injured or reverts back to Atlanta Vick, it will be a tough year. (of course this is true for all the teams)

They have gone all in, so you could say Superbowl or bust... which would make your opinion of a dissapointing season a probability.

If you mean dissappointing as in not making the playoffs, I would strongly disagree.

I agree Kolb is a massive improvement over the goofy Derek Anderson/Max Hall/John Skelton trio from last year, but three wins is a lot to stick on one guy. Are the Cardinals right now better than either the Rams or the Seahawks? I'd say the answer is no.

Edited to add that I completely forgot the 49ers, who are also probably a better team than the Cardinals right now. Though the Cardinals do get to play the Vikings, Panthers, Bengals, and Browns this year (all of whom should be wholly atrocious), so perhaps eight wins isn't impossible.

Not sure the Vikings will be that terrible.

I think they're a stone cold lock for last in that division, though the Bears are going to regress dramatically as well. Vikings just aren't as talented on the defensive side as they were a couple years ago.

Far too much hype on the Browns;too much pressure to win 6.5 games....3.25 is more realistic.

The Cardinals' defense is still awful and they have no running game. It's gonna take more than Kolb and Fitzgerald to get them near the playoffs. Yeah, the division's terrible but the Cards are even worse.

If it's possible, the Cards defense is going to be even worse than last year. Honestly? They have to be the worst team in the worst division in football on paper. I can't see a .500 season in their future. Don't forget they've also lost their two best WR's not named "Fitzgerald" during the last two offseasons.

the division is really a crap shoot.

If I was betting, I'd take the over. With the division they are in, and the schedule they have, I believe they have a better chance of going 7-9 than 6-10

But the biggest bet I'd make is the under on the Giants.

Lots of interesting o/u's in that division. I could make compelling arguments to bet the under on every NFC East team.

The defense picked up the best corner in the draft along with the a few lower level free agents. The remade the o-line and added Kolb and Heap. All that being said, they have six winnable division games plus play the Panthers, Browns, Bengals, Vikings, and Redskins. I will be betting the over.

They also traded away their best corner. The point about the schedule is well-taken though.

I think the Giants got much worse over the offseason. I think there record will be closer to 7-9 than 10-6.

I wont touch the Eagles.. they have the talent to go 14-2 and the coach that could make them 9-7.

Cowboys, I have no clue. I think Romo is overrated.

Skins are going to suck.. probably similar to last year.

I would bet the Eagles to win the division, but the only O/U I'd take is the Under for the Giants.
