Kendall wrote me and said, you know, if you know anything about the NFC East, you have heard of it,

then you know there hasn't been a repeat champion in 20 years, so the Eagles won't be the division champ this year,

crown the commanders now. Is Kendall right, or will the Eagles break the trend and become the first NFC East repeat winner

since they repeated back in 2004 301-23080 301-0-0-0-980? By the way, when Washington won it in

2020, their over-under going into the season was four and a half. I mean,

that's, they were picked to finish dead last in the division that year. That's happened several

times since 2004. The team picked to finish last won the division.

Interestingly, it seems to happen more often, more often with Washington, because back in

2015, when they won the division, their over under was five and a half, and they were

picked to finish with the worst record in the division.

And in 2012, it was six and a half, the RG3 rookie season, and they were

predicted to finish dead last in the division that year as well. That's kind of interesting,

right? Is Washington's last three division titles, they were predicted heading into those seasons to finish dead last

in the division. And that has happened almost half the number of years since 2004. You know,

it's not always the team that's picked to finish second that breaks up the repeat.

It is, you know, equally as many times the team picked to finish third or fourth.

Washington's three division titles came in seasons in which they were picked to finish dead last in the division.

301-2-303-980, 301-2-3-0-0-0-0-9-80.

I think there's a really good chance of a repeat winner this year.

Philadelphia is loaded.

They are also, you know, extremely, extremely on the defensive side in particular, well-coached with Vic Fangio.

They get a new offensive coordinator this year.
