Philadelphia possesses a one game lead over Washington in the NFC East division standings
The Commanders Jayden Daniels is listed as day-to-day while dealing with a knee sprain
The Eagles Jalen Hurts ranks above league average in Quarterback EPA per play
After winning the NFC East last season, the Philadelphia Eagles look to be the first team to win two straight division titles since they last did it in 2001-2004. Unfortunately for the reigning Super Bowl champions, the gaps in talent are as narrow as ever with Jayden Daniels elevating the Washington Commanders' offense and the Dallas Cowboys returning back to full health.

Even though Jayden Daniels was ruled out with a knee injury in week three, the Washington Commanders offense were able to sustain their high level of play with Marcus Mariota under center. Mariota was instrumental in their success as the backup quarterback threw for one touchdown while punching in another one with his legs. If you bet on the Eagles earlier in the year, then hedge your wager on the Commanders now before their odds continue to shrink.
As for the Dallas Cowboys, their struggles on defense were on full display last Sunday as the Chicago Bears marched up and down the field at a consistent rate. To no surprise as the Cowboys rank near dead last in Def DVOA, EPA, and in Success Rate. Their lack of defensive production will hold them back from being able to contend for the division title this season as it forces them to play in high variance contests, making them a pass at their current inflated odds.

Just when it looked like the Los Angeles Rams were going to cruise to victory, the Philadelphia Eagles came roaring back by outscoring them 26-7 in the second half. Jalen Hurts had no issue with hitting his receivers in stride as the Eagles quarterback finished the contest throwing for 226 yards and 3 touchdowns. When Hurts is forced to be more aggressive, he has been efficient as he ranks top-15 in Quarterback EPA per play and in PFF Grade.
Multiple factors play a role in a team’s chances of winning the division title, including offseason additions, continuity, and strength of schedule. Focusing on continuity, a team who retains a majority of their core are primed for success as it helps limit the amount of variance in their contests. Especially early on in the season when a team is also integrating the new additions they acquired in the offseason.
As for strength of schedule, look for team’s who possess easy starts to the year to help iron out their kinks and receive ample rest between their prime time and international games. Rest also helps preserve a players health which is vital as one major injury can drastically alter a team’s ability to compete.
Before placing a wager on a team to win the NFC East, it’s important to know how the listed odds work. With the Eagles preseason odds to win the division listed at -155, you would need to wager $155 to profit $100.
If you wait to see if they get off to a slow start and are listed with a plus sign in front of their odds (+200 for example), then a $100 wager would profit you $200 if they win the division. Make sure you line shop before placing a wager as the odds for the same market can drastically vary between each sportsbook.

The NFC East has been the most hectic division in the league as no one has won two straight division titles since the Philadelphia Eagles did it in 2001-2004. With Washington on the rise, we may see that trend continue should their defense give them the production they need to be a well-rounded contender.
As for Dallas, the Cowboys still have a comfortable lead over the division with 22 NFC East titles. The Philadelphia Eagles are in second place with 13 while the Washington Commanders clock in at third with 10.
