The Philadelphia Eagles enter the regular season as the betting favorite to win the NFC East in consecutive years at -135 odds, which is much harder to achieve than you think. There hasn’t been a repeat division winner in a hyper-competitive NFC East since 2004.<\/p>\n

The NFC East crown is a hot potato. It’s been nearly 20 years since a team won consecutive division titles. The Eagles won three straight NFC East titles between 2002 and 2004.<\/p>\n

\n

Three different teams won the NFC East over the last three seasons, which leaves pundits wondering if the New York Giants can prevail and complete a perfect cycle. The Giants haven’t won the NFC East since 2011. In the following 11 years, their rivals won multiple division titles. The Eagles and Dallas Cowboys won four times each, and the Washington Commanders shipped the division crown three times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The NFC East didn’t have a losing team in 2022, and the last-place Commanders finished the season with an 8-8-1 record.<\/p>\n

Three teams from the NFC East qualified for the playoffs. The Giants and Cowboys were NFC wild card teams. The Eagles secured the #1 seed in the NFC playoffs and a first-round bye with a 14-3 record.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Giants and Cowboys won<\/a> their first-round games during Wild Card Weekend, but both teams lost in the NFC divisional round.<\/p>\n

The Eagles defeated a banged-up 49ers to win the NFC championship. But they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs <\/a>in Super Bowl LVII.<\/p>\n
