Dallas or Philly?

It's great to think of the Redskins winning the NFC East, and it definitely could happen. But let's be real here, the Eagles are likely going to take it. I'd like to see wildcard contenders get bumped off instead at this point in the season.

Either way it's good, one of them takes the L. But there's no way the Eagles are going to miss the playoffs. It's just not going to happen. So if they're going to be taking a spot anyway, they might as well knock some other contenders down along the way. Especially Dallas.

Actually that pretty much makes the most sense for a Cowboys lost. And more than anything else it would further hurt their confidence early in the season. I say an Eagles victory is a win/win situation.

I changed my mind from an earlier post.
