Pro Football: NFC Update

Two NFC teams, the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys raised their records to (3-1) with victories, while the San Francisco 49ers, 5 point favorites, won by 5 points vs the now (3-1) Philadelphia Eagles.

The Detroit Lions, so talented yet frequently so disappointing, won on the road against the now (1-3) New York Jets.

In the Sunday night game, the Dallas Cowboys, torched for over 600 yards by the New Orleans Saints last year, built a (24-0) halftime lead and cruised at home vs the now (1-3) Saints.

The Eagles and Cowboys are now tied for the NFC East lead with the New York Giants, who are playing very well at (2-2).

I think those three NFC East teams are very evenly matched.
