Eagles 2012 Schedule
After dropping four of their first six to start 2011, the Eagles rebounded nicely to an 8-8 finish with some huge victories over eventual Super Bowl champion the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys. If they can rise above their biggest problem of last season—blowing fourth quarter leads– Philly could very well be a team that could come in right around 10 wins.

NY Giants 2012 Schedule
Really, just 10 wins even after beating New England in the Super bowl? Well, if you look at the G-men’s schedule you may realize why. Plus, we all know how hard it is for a team to defend its title. Despite playing in a weak division, I’d still have to say that 10 wins seems a little high. Remember, this is a team that lost five of six from mid November to mid December a season ago. Take the UNDER here.

Cowboys 2012 Schedule
You knew it was going to be a disappointing year when the Cowboys started the 2011 season 2-4 on their way to an 8-8 finish and well out of the playoffs. So, the biggest challenge this year will be to get a better start right? Easier said than done, as Dallas opens their 2012 campaign playing six of their first nine on the road, which includes bouts with the Giants, Ravens, Atlanta and Philadelphia. Personally, I expect another poor start which the Cowboys cannot recover from, finishing just ahead of the Redskins with seven wins.

Redskins 2012 Schedule
Everyone is curious to see if Robert Griffin III can live up to the considerable amount of hype out there about him. And even though he has yet to throw his first NFL pass or take his first blindside hit, RG3 has been anointed as a star. The crude reality is, he will be running for his life behind a team that won just five games despite playing the third-easiest schedule in the league. The Redskins are terrible, and are at most, the fourth-best team in their own division on another five-win season.
[...] Dallas Cowboys: 18/1 odds to win Super Bowl – The Cowboys are the reason why the New York Giants won’t repeat as Super bowl champions. The Boys’ are going to be hungry, and they have all the talent in the world, including one of the all-time best regular season performing quarterbacks in Tony Romo. The problem. He has not led his team to one single playoff win in his career. But this could be the year that Romo shakes the playoff monkey of his back, and he certainly has the receivers that can help him get it done. Mix in a solid running attack, and a defense led by DeMarcus Ware who racked up 19.5 sacks in 2011, and it’s hard to bet against Dallas. Nevertheless, the window of opportunity to make a deep playoff run is closing fast, and they need to find a way to put it all together, especially at the end of the regular season. Four of Dallas’ eight losses in 2011 came in the final five games, including one without Romo. If Captain America’s Team can keep from last season lapses, the Cowboys should nip the Giants in the NFC East. [...]
