5) Two NFC East teams make the playoffs

The NY Giants and the Dallas Cowboys will each represent the division in the playoffs.

A year after being the doormat of the league, the division will send two teams to the dance. The Cowboys led by their superstar quarterback, and the Giants by their tremendous defense.

After last year ended with Andy Dalton chucking up an interception and Wayne Gallman sitting on a fumble, the two teams will improve their fortunes immensely. They’ll continue to battle it out – but the stakes much higher in 2021.

While it became a running joke that the Giants’ season usually starts with a primetime game in Dallas, television networks won’t be burned by the two teams this year. The games between the rivals will be must-see.

While the Cowboys have been to the postseason numerous times over the last decade, the Giants have only been once since their Super Bowl 46 victory. A new era of Giants’ football is on the way – and the results will back that up next year.

NFC Least no longer – it’s going to be a hard-fought, entertaining battle for the division in 2021.
