On the whole, the NFC East Division is far and away from the worst in football. Despite that fact, the winner of the “NFC Least” will get a coveted NFL betting playoff spot. On Sunday night the Eagles and Cowboys will meet with the winner getting the inside track for that postseason bid. Dallas’s issues are well known with meddlesome owner Jerry Jones being the common denominator to their ills. In the same way, the Eagles are being seen more like an accidental Super Bowl champion from two years ago. Philadelphia and Dallas will battle for their playoff lives.
