A few days ago, Hogs Haven published a poll asking its readers to predict the 2022 NFC East division champion, and to identify which young player (from a list of six) would be most impactful in the coming season.
Well, Hogs Haven is a Commanders fan site, and the fans didn’t disappoint, with more than half of those responding to the poll picking the good guys to win the division.

This clearly runs counter to conventional wisdom among NFL pundits & fans. A quick check of the betting odds on a few popular sites shows that the oddsmakers are using last year’s order of finish as the guide, with the Cowboys favored to repeat, followed by the Eagles, Commanders and Giants in descending order.
