With a healthy Tony Romo, the Dallas Cowboys would’ve probably been favored to win the NFC East.

Now that we know he’ll actually be sitting out for quite some time thanks to a preseason injury, Dallas’ success, especially early on, will be decided by the play of rookie Dak Prescott.

The former Mississippi State quarterback will have running back Ezekiel Elliott behind him in what could prove to finally be a deadly 1-2 punch for the Cowboys on offense.

That in mind, the Washington Redskins aren’t going to just let that happen.

Washington picked up Josh Norman after a contract dispute with the Carolina Panthers to help bolster their secondary.

In addition to that, Kirk Cousins is going to have another “good enough” kind of season.

His play never really blows anyone away, but he’s proven he can get the job done and at least take them on a meaningful playoff run.

Division Predictions:

Redskins (10-6)
Cowboys (8-8)
Giants (8-8)
Eagles (6-10)

Next: NFC North
