Predict The NFC EAST standings and Winner

and I need to see Dallas lose on thursday before I shovel dirt on them. I thought they were done but that was a good win for Dallas in Minny. Gotta give them credit.

I do think Philly is done. They aren't any good. Wentz is a wreck.

Skins play good D evidenced by their high pass D ranking. They can run the ball. They have Alex Smith at QB. If they beat Dallas they are right there in this thing.

Funny how those 2 wins over the Skins don't seem to useless anymore. And if they win on thursday they are huge.

NYG 6-10 Div Winner (split w/Dallas, Giant 4-2 in NFC East)
Dal 6-10
Phil 5-10-1
Wash 4-12

I have us beating:
* Bengals
* Browns
* Cowboys

Losing:
Seahawks
Cardinals
Ravens

Giants vs Browns in probably the key game for the division.

They have a functioning NFL QB again and have the easiest schedule.

They do have to win Thursday though.

I don’t see 6-10 winning it. Let’s go with this:

NYG: 7-9
DAL: 6-10
WAS: 6-10
PHI: 5-10-1

Giants beat Cin, Cle, Bal & Dallas. I’m giving them the Baltimore win with the assumption they continue to fade and are not playing for anything. Thus, let’s root for Pittsburgh Thursday.

... preferably with the Giants controlling their fate. That said:
NYG 6-10-0
DAL 6-10-0
WAS 6-10-0
PHI 5-10-1
Not really a prediction so much as an acknowledgment that the whole division is manure.

My prediction wouldn't be any better than anybody else's, so here's the result of ESPN's game-by-game analysis.

PHI 5-10-1
NYG 5-11
WFT 4-12

And those records are based on those three teams going 3-0 vs Dallas, which is predicted to lose every game and finish 3-13.

If Dallas exceeds that prediction with Dalton back, then the other NFCE teams are going to have to find wins elsewhere just to meet their own predicted finishes.

An example of the predictor is linked for the NYG-CIN game.

But Dallas coming out and beating a hot Minnesota team is a bad sign for us. Andy Dalton looked more than competent, and they have plenty of playmakers on that side of the ball. I think we finish 2nd and Dallas takes it.

Dallas for me. I just hope the last game means something.

I'll be pulling for Washington on turkey day for sure!!!

and run through the playoffs only to lose to the Chiefs 20-17 in OT in the Super Bowl.

This is the right summary IF they win on Thursday.

We need more chaos, which requires WFT to beat Dallas on Thursday...

He didn't want to have a first place schedule next year coming off such a lousy season. :)

and still look like they are in it, I may start getting more excited about this. I loved seeing them beat the Eagles, but the Eagles aren't very good. I agree that they didn't exactly dominate Washington, but in both games they showed a really good running game.

I'll be there with bells on watching them every Sunday and hoping for improvements and some good football, but I still need to see stuff to start entertaining the idea of playoffs.

it is more likely that Dallas will take the division right now, based on schedule, but if Andy Dalton gets hurt and the Giants can show a power running game against the Cards, Seattle or the Ravens -- I will start investing

How are we going to do that?

I think we have a better chance of beating the Ravens, they are playing like ass this year

6-10 will win the division for us. It won't for the Boys, they'll need to finish 7-9 aka beating us. It's more than likely going to come down to that last game. I can't believe the Eagles are still pretty favored to win the division. That blows my mind.

A team from the desert is playing in NJ in December against a team they will not be able to stop on the ground. Why is this hard to fathom? Warm weather teams historically are pretty poor in the elements and Cold weather teams usually suck in hot areas early on.

They can run the ball with Murray, Drake, and Edmonds. They killed us on the ground last year and that was late in the season. No guarantee the weather will be complete crap.

and Zeke, Dallas would have the edge.

and Dalton is one of the better backup QBs.

I don't see the Giants with more than 2 wins - Bengals and Cowboys. All the other teams left on the schedule are playoff teams.

1. NYG 6-10
2. WFT 6-10
3. DAL 6-10
4. PHI 3-12-1

NYG win division on head-to-head tiebreaker at 3-1. WFT 2-2, DAL 1-3

NYG W: CIN, CLE, DAL L: SEA, ARI, BAL
WFT W: DAL, CAR, PHI L: PIT, SF, SEA
DAL W: PHI, SF, CIN L: WFT, NYG, BAL
PHI L: DAL, WFT, SEA, GB, ARI, NO

I think they win the division with 6 or 7 wins. If they lose, I think we win the division with 6 wins, including a clincher against Dallas to close the season.

So, if the Giants are a game behind Dallas entering week 17, they could still win the division.

They run the ball based on what they can do in their pass game, but thats beside the point. We are going to completely bull them up front on offense. They are very undersize defense.

What does the weather being crap have to do with anything. It's more than likely going to be very cold for an Arizona team. Regardless, the poster was acting like we don't have a chance which is ridiculous when you consider the circumstances and matchup.

So? Playoff teams never lose to teams with poorer records?

but I have no clue. You guys are pulling the week to week stuff that all the hot take media people do. I'm a Giants opptomist and will ride with that. Fuck Dallas, Philly and WTF.

Winner take all....


Dallas will have a one game lead going into that game, but a Giant win gives them the tiebreaker.

Dallas
Or
GMEN

MY MONEY IS ON THE Gmen.

Consider though that Boys came off the bye while Vikes had a short week. Plus, Vikes were 1-5 at one point. They're not that good this year.

Giants could continue to get better or regress ?

let see after this weeks game with Bengals . it will be a great test to see if this team puts away a team they are expected to beat .

Not sure if that wins the division. But the arrow pointing up for '21.

A death in their family - ( New Window )

Division possible or not, they are still a sub .500 team. But, this week is one game where there should be no moral victories, no ugly win, any win is a win, etc. This is one of the few teams, especially with no Burrow, that is definitively worse than us and we need to not only win, but truly beat them. That is what is needed for this team to begin taking the next step.
