This division has been a complete surprise full of injuries and unexpected winners. The Eagles have been a huge surprise as well as the Redskins for that matter. With the injuries to the Cowboys, expect them to fall from grace until about week 8 when they get some key starters back. For now, enjoy the power struggle of the NFC East.
Washington Redskins @ New York Giants,

Since the air game isn’t so consistent for the Skins, the ground game has been a pleasant surprise. Morris in week one and now Matt Jones last week going over 100 yards. Last week, Cousins was actually consistent and didn’t turn the ball over. He has games like that from time to time. Eli last week hit OBJ big last week for huge yardage and a score but is bound to be inconsistent but you’ll never know when the “cable” version of Eli shows up. These two teams played decent against good defenses last week so expect this one to be close and low scoring. My Pick: Giants 21-20.
