2026 NFC East Opening Odds
| Team | Division Odds | Projected Win Total |
|---|---|---|
| Philadelphia Eagles | +115 | 10.5 |
| Dallas Cowboys | +235 | 9.5 |
| Washington Commanders | +460 | 7.5 |
| New York Giants | +600 | 7.5 |
Philadelphia Eagles (+115)
The Eagles open as division favorites boasting one of the most complete rosters in the NFL. Powered by quarterback Jalen Hurts and star running back Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia maintains elite offensive firepower alongside a defense that allowed just 19.1 points per game last season. Even with offseason retooling in the receiving corps (AJ Brown is out while “Hollywood” Brown is in), Philadelphia possesses the highest floor in the division.
Dallas Cowboys (+235)
The Cowboys enter the campaign as the primary challenger in the futures market at +235. Quarterback Dak Prescott leads an offense that was one of the best in the league, but postseason contention depends on a defense that underwent a massive offseason overhaul. With key additions like rookie defensive back Caleb Downs, safety Jalen Thompson and pass-rusher Rashan Gary, Dallas looks like a team that could not only challenge the Eagles, but go deep into the postseason.
Washington Commanders (+460)
Washington opens as a sleeper option relying on quarterback Jayden Daniels. Head coach Dan Quinn’s squad aims to rebound from a turbulent 2025 campaign and, to do so, has added veteran WR Stefon Diggs and a few solid defenders, mostly role players but reliable. If the young quarterback continues his development and the defensive front improves, Washington offers intriguing longshot value to exceed their 7.5 projected win total.
New York Giants (+600)
The Giants remain at the bottom of the division odds board at +600 despite an interesting offseason under the new head coach John Harbaugh. Focused on retooling the roster and upgrading key position groups, New York faces a quality gap relative to Philadelphia and Dallas. Though the gang from the Big Apple has a much bigger room for growth, and with Harbaugh, the Giants just might become the best choice for a sleeper in the NFC.
