1. Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys may be the first NFC East team to win the division back-to-back  in a very long time. For years now the NFC East has not had a repeat winner. It’s going to be a very tough move for Dallas to pull off considering the loss of DeMarco Murray. The very mean Cowboys’ offensive line may keep them right in contention.

I don’t care what anyone says, no matter how good the Cowboys’ line is, they can’t make up for Murray being gone. The Cowboys can’t just plug in the very injury prone Darren McFadden an expect to get an All-Star out of him. McFadden’s play will surely improve, but he won’t be a superstar.

This loss is going to hit Dallas harder than anyone expects. The amount of touches Murray had last season were unreal. As everyone knows, their offense clearly relied on the running game. It took the pressure off of Tony Romo and gave him the ability to pass when needed.

No matter what, the Cowboys still have a very good team and will remain contenders. They will just edge out the Giants by tiebreaker and have more divisional wins. Both the Giants and Cowboys will make the postseason and will be competing fiercely all season long.

Prediction: 10-6 (Win Division Through Tiebreaker)
