NFC East 2026-27 Preview: Simulations Back Philadelphia as Clear Division Favorite, with Dallas Lurking
Posted: 8/31/2026 12:30:35 PM
For a decade the NFC East was the NFL’s best soap opera and worst bet: any team could win it, nobody could repeat, and the winner usually finished 9-8. Philadelphia ended that in 2025: back-to-back division titles for the first time since the Andy Reid era, 14-3 in the regular season, and an 18-3 finish once January counted. ESPN’s division roundtable still opens with the same betting board: Eagles (+115), Cowboys (+235), Commanders (+460), Giants (+600). The question in 2026-27 is whether anyone can actually knock Philly off the perch now that the repeat curse is gone.
