Eagles: Their success will depend on McNabb's health and attitude (32 yrs old and just got a raise), Westrbook's health, and whether DeSean Jackson or Maclin develop into the wideouts that the Eagles have been sorely missed.
Giants: I think the Giants are trying to convince themselves that they don't need a player like Plax. Had they traded for Boldin or even Braylon Edwards, I'd be handing them the division too. Otherwise, I think this is still a big question mark, especially since they appear to miss Plax in the playoffs.
Cowboys: The Cowboys season rests squarely on the shoulders of Roy Williams. If Williams doesn't perform, Witten will become Romo's only target, and well he'll be well covered by defenses. I still think that one of JJ's biggest mistake was to bring a softy coach to run the locker room. If they had brought someone with some balls, they'd still have TO.
Redskins: I feel that a mild improvement on the offense should get us over the playoff hump. However, last season I made the argument that our defense wasn't elite, well I think this year our defense has the potential of becoming an elite unit, allowing them to carry the team. Ideally both situations happen, but realistically only one will.
So there, why can't an analyst say that?

...because that does not get your name in the papers, internet or T.V. Picking a team and standing by them does. Then later they can say "See I told you prior to the season."
Your assessment was fair I believe. I just don't think the Eagles will have enough WR threats. I know they picked up some one this draft but as with our two WR's there will be a learning curve. Heck D.Jackson even though he sometimes shined he had a learning curve. I just don't think they will have enough weapons. Then look at their CB's. Not that great.
Giants lost two WR's right. Everyone else is a no name other then Moss. Their two big threats are gone. Buress and Amani Toomer..
Dallas had the best WR in the division and let him go and could have had the two best in the division to catapult the team to the play offs. They were stupid. and I agree with you in regards to their HC. He's an awsome co-ordinator but a horrible HC. I see the Cowboys being the bottom feeders this yr.
