  • Eagles

The Eagles may not look like Super Bowl contenders just yet. But NFL week six was kind to the Fighting Siriannis, with all three of their division rivals losing.

Washington

The Commanders look strong early. After losing to the Bucs in week one, they notched close wins over the Giants and Bengals, then blowout victories over the Cardinals and Browns.

But in week six, they couldn't keep up with a tough Ravens team. Baltimore won, 30-23.

Upcoming games: vs Panthers, vs Bears, at Giants

Dallas

Like the Commanders, the Cowboys handled the Browns easily. They've also defeated the Giants (20-15) and Steelers (20-17). But the Saints dropped 44 points on them in Dallas in week two.

And at home in week six, dem boyz were embarrassed again. Final score: 47-9.

Upcoming games: BYE, at Niners, at Falcons

Giants

The Giants have played mostly close games this season. That includes their two wins (21-15 over the Browns, 29-20 over the Seahawks) and two of their four losses (21-18 to the Commanders, 20-15 to the Cowboys). 

The Vikings beat the G-men up a bit in week one, 28-6. And in week six, they dropped a home game to the Bengals, 17-7.

Upcoming games: vs Eagles, at Steelers, vs Commanders


As of Monday night, here are the odds for each team to win the NFC East:

The Eagles are early three-point road favorites against the Giants in week seven. They'll travel to Cincinnati to play the Bengals in week eight, then return home to face the Jaguars.
