# Nick Wright: Wright picked the Eagles to win the NFC East at 13-4, with Dallas second at 9-8, the Giants third at 7-10 and Washington last at 5-12. **Claimed:** Sep 1, 2026 **Pundit:** Nick Wright — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/nick-wright **Outlet:** Fox Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/fox-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.foxsports.com/stories/first-things-first/nfc-east-predictions-will-cowboys-giants-take-down-eagles-top-division 6 checkable claims — 4 season win totals, 1 division winner and 1 power ranking — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 4 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 3. > I landed for the Philadelphia Eagles at 13-4 *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Dallas Cowboys to finish with 9 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Washington Commanders to finish with 5 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Washington Commanders - Verdict: not settled yet - **New York Giants to finish with 7 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: New York Giants - Verdict: not settled yet - **Philadelphia Eagles to win the division** - Kind: Division Winners · About: Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Philadelphia Eagles to finish with 13 wins** - Kind: Season Win Totals · About: Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - “Nick Wright's NFC East Prediction 1.
