The NFC East (except for the Philadelphia Eagles of course) has become surprisingly interesting over the past few weeks. The Giants' first place lead has diminished to only 1 game as the Cowboys and Redskins have shockingly played well as of late. On top of this, the Giants have a pretty tough schedule the rest of the way which includes road games in Baltimore and Atlanta, so many would say that the division title is still very much up in the air at this point. Somehow my Dallas Cowboys have made it back into the mix, sitting a game back from the Giants at 7-6 along with the Washington Redskins.
As much as it hurts for me to say this, if I were a betting man, I'd have to put money on the defending Super Bowl Champs, NY Giants to take the division crown, but this is the NFL, so anything can happen. The Cowboys' injury luck continues to deteriorate as their best receiver Dez Bryant seems to have a broken finger. But, Dez almost insists that he will play next weekend against the Steelers which is good news for my Boys' if he's able to tough-out that injury. The Cowboys are also seeing the benefits of having a previous hottie-of-the-day winner, DeMarco Murray back in the line-up as he is capable of running effectively on defenses, and more importantly, closing out games for this team.
I think I'm in a better mindset this time around as I'm not expecting much out of the Cowboys in closing out this season. But, nevertheless, this should be a very interesting NFC race till the last week of football action. Buckle your seat belts y'all, this should be fun! Smooches.
