April, 23, 2014Apr 23 8:48 PM ET By ESPN.com staff | ESPN.com Recommend3K Tweet451 Comments276 Email Print NFL Nation: 2014 Regular-Season Predictions NFL Nation reporters predict the regular-season record for the team they cover. Each prediction was made independent of the predictions of their colleagues. Team Prediction Quick Take NFC EAST 8-8 Until proved otherwise, it's hard to predict anything but .500 for the Cowboys, but the back end of the schedule is difficult. If they miss the playoffs for the fifth straight season, it's hard to imagine Jerry Jones would bring back Jason Garrett, whose contract expires after this season, in 2015. -- Todd Archer 9-7 The NFC East once again looks like a tightly bunched mess, so give the Giants a 3-3 division record by default. After that, it helps that so many 2013 powers (San Francisco, Indianapolis, even Arizona) come to New Jersey, while less-proven opponents such as Jacksonville and Tennessee are road games. Their Thursday night game is a short road trip to Washington (which is good), and their toughest game is a short-week road trip to Seattle to play the defending Super Bowl champs (which is rough). -- Dan Graziano 9-7 The loss of wide receiver DeSean Jackson shouldn't be underestimated. Without his 1,300-plus yards and downfield speed, the Eagles should still finish with a winning record under dynamic coach Chip Kelly. But with games against the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks and No. 2 NFC playoff seed Carolina Panthers, the path to that winning mark will be more difficult. -- Andy Jasner 7-9 The Redskins have question marks: How will Jay Gruden fare as a first-time head coach? How much better will Robert Griffin III be this season? But Griffin's offseason has been good and he has more offensive weapons. Plus, the division is not strong. Defensively, the Redskins still face serious questions, but an improved pass rush should help, as will facing fewer elite quarterbacks. -- John Keim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedinBlue Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I'd feel a whole lot better about this season if ESPN had us down for 5-11. I always worry when they have us with a division winning record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BronxRik Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I wish we ended up 9-7 in 2013. Maybe we will in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue25 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Yeah, My prediction for 2013 is the Giants get lucky enough to play some 2nd and 3rd string QB's and somehow pull off seven wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nas Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 So basically I'm the only predicting a winning record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue25 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 These are different reporters for each team. It's almost impossible for all teams in the division to finish with that identical of a record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
