Dallas Cowboys: The Cowboys’ goal for 2010 is to be the first team to play a Super Bowl game in their own stadium. Tony Romo will be joined by an impressive group of receivers in Miles Austin, Roy Williams, and first-round pick Dez Bryant. Will this team be able to live up to its preseason hype, or will the pressure be too much for Dallas to handle? No matter what happens in the post-season, this is the best team in a very strong division.

New York Giants: The G-Men will be back to prove that their third-place finish last season was an aberration. If Kenny Phillips, Brandon Jacobs, and Ahmad Bradshaw return successfully from off-season surgeries, the Giants will be a force to be reckoned with. Bradshaw will team up with Hakeem Nicks to give the team a potent aerial attack, but the pressure will be on a defence that struggled at times in 2009.

Washington Redskins: The ‘Skins made one of the highest profile moves of the off-season by signing former division-rival Donovan McNabb to fill their void at quarterback. Along with new head coach Mike Shanahan, McNabb will be tasked with pulling the Redskins out of the division’s cellar. Albert Haynesworth will need a bounce-back season on the defensive side of the ball for the Redskins to have success. This team will be improved, but will miss out on the playoffs.

 Philadelphia Eagles: With face-of-the-franchise Donovan McNabb gone to the Redskins, the Eagles will trust Kevin Kolb to run the offence this year. DeSean Jackson will be Kolb’s number-one target while LeSean McCoy will take Brian Westbrook’s spot in the backfield and could be poised for a big season. Andy Reid is confident that the youth movement in Philadelphia is the right formula for success in the NFC East, but the Eagles are probably a year away.
