Group chat: Singleton sullying NFC East reputation for bad football

The NFC East has a reputation for terrible football this season, but former CFL star Alex Singleton is doing his best to change the narrative all by himself.

At the same time in Week 17, Singleton’s Eagles can play a major role in who wins the worst division in the NFL. If Philadelphia upsets Washington during the final game of the regular season Sunday Night, the winner of Cowboys-Giants claims the division.

Eagles see Alex Singleton’s ‘arrow up’ as a starting NFL linebacker

The best record any team can have in the NFC Least is 7-9 to finish the season. Fortunately, our betting picks are above .500 unlike the sorry excuse for football teams in the most terrible division in football. Yours truly went 11-5 one week ago and John Hodge 10-6, peaking for the playoffs.
