🏈 Pulse Picks: NFC East & North Predictions for 2025 (Cass, This One’s for You)
The NFC is a mix of powerhouses and pretenders. The East is a two-horse race (Cowboys vs. Eagles), while the North has become a Lions lovefest. And you know what? I’m not fighting the hype this year. My old friend Cass has been waiting decades for Detroit to matter — so buckle up, Cass, because the Lions are roaring again.
NFC East Predictions
1. Dallas Cowboys (Pulse: 🟡 Medium)
Yeah, I said it — I’m taking Dallas over Philly this time. Micah Parsons is playing like he’s from another planet, and if Dak can just not implode in December, this team is legit.
Prediction: 12–5, division champs.
2. Philadelphia Eagles (Pulse: 🟡 Medium)
The Eagles are stacked, but last season showed cracks in the armor — defensive lapses, inconsistent O-line play, and Hurts being asked to do too much. Still a playoff team, but not the East champs.
Prediction: 11–6, Wild Card.
3. New York Giants (Pulse: 🔴 Low)
Daniel Jones is not “the guy.” At best, he’s “the guy until they find the guy.” Expect mediocrity.
Prediction: 7–10.
4. Washington Commanders (Pulse: 🔴 Low)
New ownership, new era, but not enough talent. Think of this team like a penny stock — too volatile to trust.
Prediction: 6–11.
NFC North Predictions
1. Detroit Lions (Pulse: 🟢 High)
This is for you, Cass. The Lions are legit. Jared Goff has found his groove, Amon-Ra is unstoppable, and Dan Campbell has these guys biting kneecaps for real. This is the best Lions team I’ve seen in decades.
Prediction: 12–5, division champs.
2. Green Bay Packers (Pulse: 🟡 Medium)
Jordan Love looked promising, but I’m not ready to crown him yet. They’ll be tough, but not as polished as Detroit.
Prediction: 10–7, Wild Card.
3. Minnesota Vikings (Pulse: 🔴 Low)
Justin Jefferson is elite, but this team feels like it’s holding onto an outdated playbook and praying for a miracle season.
Prediction: 7–10.
4. Chicago Bears (Pulse: 🔴 Low)
The Caleb Williams era begins, but this roster isn’t built to protect a rookie QB. Expect flashes of brilliance and plenty of rookie mistakes.
Prediction: 6–11.
NFC East & North Recap
- Division Winners: Cowboys & Lions
- Wild Cards: Eagles & Packers
- Hot Take: The Lions will beat the Eagles in the playoffs if they meet. Cass, go buy a jersey now.
Next Up: NFC South & West
Is the NFC South still a dumpster fire? Probably. And can anyone out West stop the 49ers from running wild? That’s what we’re covering next, with at least one bold “sleeper” pick.
