NFC East 2025 Season Preview

The Philadelphia Eagles are once again the favorites to win the NFC East in the 2025 NFL season, with odds set at -160. However, history suggests that repeating as division champions is no easy feat. The last team to achieve this was the Eagles themselves, who won four consecutive titles from 2001 to 2004.

Key Contenders

• Washington Commanders: Coming off a strong 2024 season with 12 wins, the Commanders are second in line at +225. However, their success last year was partly due to a favorable schedule and exceptional health. This season, they face a tougher lineup and potential regression in close games.
• Dallas Cowboys: With hopes pinned on a healthy Dak Prescott, the Cowboys are at +700. Their defense remains a concern, and a challenging schedule could hinder their progress.
• New York Giants: Lagging significantly at +3000, the Giants have struggled in recent years and are predicted to finish last in the division once again.

Betting Insights

• Commanders UNDER 9.5 wins (Even): Given their tougher schedule and potential regression, betting on the Commanders to fall short of 9.5 wins seems prudent.
• Cowboys UNDER 7.5 wins (+125): With defensive issues and a brutal schedule, the Cowboys might struggle to surpass 7.5 wins.
• Eagles UNDER 11.5 wins (-140): Despite a strong roster, a challenging start to the season could limit the Eagles to around 10 or 11 wins.

Historical Context

• The Eagles' 2025 win total is set at 11.5, tied with the Ravens, Bills, and Chiefs for the highest in the league.
• The Cowboys have not reached the NFC Championship Game since their last Super Bowl win, marking the longest active drought in the NFC.
• The Giants have finished last in the division in four of the past eight seasons and are favored to do so again in 2025.
