Philadelphia Eagles hold the clearest edge in the NFC East title market after opening 2-1, buoyed by superior roster depth and historical division dominance even after a lopsided Week 3 loss to the Bears exposed defensive turnover and sack issues. Key absences for their Week 4 matchup against the Rams, including DeVonta Smith and Zack Baun, create short-term uncertainty but have not shifted trader consensus. Dallas Cowboys sit second on the strength of offensive production and a recent trade for cornerback Joey Porter Jr. to address secondary weaknesses, though their 1-2 record and upcoming test at Houston temper expectations. New York Giants remain competitive at 2-1 following a low-scoring win over the Titans but face questions after trading for J.J. McCarthy and losing edge rusher Brian Burns for the season. Washington Commanders trail after dropping to 1-2, with starter Jayden Daniels sidelined by an elbow injury and Marcus Mariota under center against the Colts.
