The NFC East has been one of the most competitive divisions in the NFL for years.
They’ve alternated winners year in and year out, but they usually have one or two teams that aren’t exactly competitive.
That might be the case in 2024 as well.
With the Philadelphia Eagles collapsing in the second half of last season, the Dallas Cowboys stormed to take the divisional pennant.
Now, Skip Bayless believes the Eagles will restore their dominance in the division.
In the latest edition of his podcast, the controversial pundit predicted that the Eagles would run away with the division.

That’s a lot to say, coming from a diehard Cowboys fan.
Even so, that’s not much of a hot take.
For starters, the Eagles got significantly better this off-season.
Despite the tough losses of Fletcher Fox and Jason Kelce, they did add an elite running back in Saquon Barkley.
On top of that, they signed two of the best assistant coaches in the game, bringing in Vic Fangio and Kellen Moore to serve as their defensive and offensive coordinators, respectively.
On the flip side, the Dallas Cowboys got significantly worse.
They decided to keep HC Mike McCarthy, which was a controversial decision, and they let several key starting players walk away in free agency.
They also didn’t extend CeeDee Lamb or Dak Prescott, and having two of your most important players unhappy is a recipe for disaster.
All things considered, this division is the Eagles’ to lose right now.
