Cowboys, even with Zeke, have not looked as good as they were last year, and they needed OT and a whole bunch of good fortune to beat the Eagles at home last year when the Eagles were much worse. Obviously that doesn't equal an automatic win for the Eagles this year but I like their odds a lot better than I did last year. As SCD mentioned, Washington and Denver are home games for the Eagles, who are 8-2 at home dating back to last year, whereas the Broncos haven't looked particularly good on the road since Manning retired.
I think Washington is probably the toughest game on that slate, especially since they're coming off the bye and will have had an extra week to prepare. The good news for the Eagles is that it's a MNF game and they just played a Thursday game so they'll also have some extra prep time.
I still maintain that 10-6 likely wins the NFC East, so even 3-2 and would be an acceptable result but it would be nice not to have to stress down the stretch.
