CBS NFL analyst makes NFC East prediction that could surprise people

A CBS NFL analyst has made a bold prediction that could catch many football fans off guard, suggesting the Washington Commanders could emerge as the NFC East division champions. John Breech of CBS Sports believes Washington has positioned itself well for a potential division title run after their dramatic 24-21 victory over the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football in Week 10.

"I think the Commanders positioned themselves really well for possibly stealing this division title," Breech said on Friday morning. The Commanders now hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Giants, which could prove to be a significant turning point in the division race. The win was especially important as it gave Washington the advantage in a tie from their Week 5 matchup.

Breech also thinks the Dallas Cowboys might finish behind both Washington and New York, needing nine wins to surpass the Commanders and Giants. Despite the win, Washington remains an underdog, sitting at 3-5-1, while the Giants have a 5-3-1 record. With another chance to build momentum in Week 11 against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football, Washington's division hopes are still alive according to Breech's prediction.
