00:00 Let's start at the NFC East. Cowboys and Eagles both at 10 and a half wins. And you know how
00:10 this division goes. The same team never wins it.
00:15 It's been, we haven't had back-to-back winners or back-to-back winner since Eagles won the
00:20 division four years in a row, 0-1 for 0-4. And it's funny, I told you last week, Scott,
00:26 the odds makers had both teams even. I would agree with it. You and I went through some
00:30 of the odds, which we didn't agree with last week on the AFC totals, but I would agree
00:34 with 10 and a half for the Cowboys and Eagles. The Cowboys have questions. They got absolutely
00:40 embarrassed and blown out at home. To the Packers, we'll talk about the Packers in a
00:43 few minutes. And the Eagles got absolutely smoked on the road at Tampa. Nick Sirianni,
00:48 the head coach, was lucky to keep his job. The team quit on him. They lost six out of
00:52 seven. It looked awful. It was close to season. Lots of changes, both two new coordinators
00:57 for the Eagles. Dan Quinn, the Cowboys coordinator, left to become the Washington Commanders head
01:02 coach. So you've got a lot of changes here. In a division, obviously, the Cowboys won
01:07 it last year. So odds are they're not going to win it. And let's face it, you've got the
01:11 Giants at six and a half. The Overs plus 110. They have major question marks, particularly
01:17 an offensive quarterback. Now the Commanders at Over, this is interesting, they're over
01:22 minus 130 at six and a half. That is interesting. So they're expecting, though, they've got
01:27 a new head coach. They're going to have a new starting quarterback, new offensive, defensive
01:32 schemes. People are thinking there, the odds makers are thinking that they're going to
01:35 be better than people expect. Yeah, I'm not. And I'll tell you another thing. Both the
01:40 Cowboys and Eagles, the Unders are where the minus money is. You notice that? Under minus
01:47 a buck and a quarter for the Cowboys and under minus about 20 for the Eagles. What does that
01:53 say to you? Yeah, and obviously that they think that both teams have flaws. And that's
02:01 what we're talking about. Jalen Hurts, by the way, runner up to the MVP two years ago,
02:05 dropped off in a big way. Now they've got Saquon Barkley running back, but they've got
02:09 major questions. The Eagles have the oldest starting cornerback tandem in the National
02:14 Football League. The Cowboys have all sorts of questions at cornerback and in their secondary.
02:20 They also need a starting running back. So they've got questions. So I could certainly
02:24 see why the odds makers think that at least one of these two teams is going to be under
02:27 ten and a half and probably ten or nine wins. But here's the thing, though. Washington is
02:33 going to be well under 500 and so are the Giants. And that you have to look at their
02:38 schedule. But I have to tell you, though, that Eagles game opening Friday night in week
02:42 one in Brazil, in Sao Paulo, in Sao Paulo. That is a tough matchup. I'm telling you,
02:49 do not sleep on the Packers. Last year, my breakout team, which I told you last April
02:53 and May, were the Lions. Get on the Packers. That is my breakout team this year in the
02:58 NFC.
02:59 Yeah.
