NFC East Win Total Odds and Free Picks and Predictions

You might wonder why the win totals for the 2017 NFC East teams are so low. After all the Dallas Cowboys won 13 games last year and the Giants won 11 games last year and their respective win totals right now on 9.5 for the Cowboys and 8.5 for the Giants. The reason for this is that this year the NFC East has the AFC West and the NFC West on their schedules so this year the Cowboys and Giants have to play the Chiefs, Raiders, Broncos, Chargers, Seahawks and Cardinals. The only teams that you can look at on the schedule and put wins next to are the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers. The number one seed in the NFC East this year is the Dallas Cowboys coming of a breakout 13 win season. The Cowboys are led by Jason Garrett heading into his 8th year as the Cowboys head coach and with Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, Jason Witten and Dez Bryant playing behind the best offense of line in the game the Cowboys should repeat as NFC East champions this year. Las Vegas has the odds on the Cowboys at +1050 to win Super Bowl LII and their win total odds set at over/under 9.5 wins. We do like the Cowboys to win at least 10 or 11 games this year so bet the over 9.5 wins on the Cowboys. Second-best team is the New York Giants at +2200 to win the Super Bowl and Las Vegas has set their win total at 8.5 wins. The Giants won 11 games last year and head coach Ben McAdoo is going into his second season as head coach and they did acquire Brandon Marshall to help Eli Manning out with a big receiver. Steve Spagnuolo's defense is going to be improved from last year so we think that the over 8 1/2 wins is the bet for the New York Giants. We like the Giants to be a contender to win the NFC and like a small play on the New York Giants at +2200 to win Super Bowl. Our third seed n the AFC East is the Philadelphia Eagles under second year head coach Doug Pederson. The Philadelphia Eagles are +4500 to win Super Bowl LII and Vegas has set their win total odds at 8. The Eagles are going to have a more mature Carson Wentz at QB with legitimate weapons in Alshon Jeffrey and Tori Smith with LeGarrett Blount running the ball. With good defense the Philadelphia Eagles should win eight or nine games this year. We wouldn't bet this in Vegas because we see the Eagles as an 8-8 team which lands on the number. The Eagles have a much tougher schedule than last year so we wouldn't be surprised if Went suffers a sophomore slump. Picking up the rear in the NFC East will be the Washington Redskins under fourth-year head coach Jay Gruden. Las Vegas oddsmakers have the Redskins win total is 7.5 and the odds of winning Super Bowl at +7200. The Redskins have Kirk Cousins coming back and he is a very capable quarterback but we believe he is eventually headed out of Washington and the Redskins and is playing under one year contracts for an organization that continues to play games with him. We think the Redskins are going to have a poor season and they are going to play sub .500 football. Looking at and considering their schedule we think that they're gonna take a step back from last year and go 6-10 or 7-11 at best. So the free pick is under 7.5 wins for the Washington Redskins.
