As the butt of most jokes last season, the NFC East was nothing short of a dumpster fire. In 2021, it has largely been the same story, with one exception. Through seven weeks, the Dallas Cowboys are two wins away from tying the win total from the division winner from last season. Dallas is currently playing a different game than the other NFC East teams.
Since the Cowboys currently project to have a 94% chance to win the division, it’s entirely reasonable to assume they will be competing in January. Granted, a lot can happen throughout the remaining eleven games, but it would take a devastating collapse for the Cowboys not to win the NFC East.
