Why the NFC East will be the best division in 2012-2013

The day after the Super Bowl, the Giants are the Champions and stand head and shoulder above everyone else. But at the end of the day, that's the same team that lost to the Eagles led by Vince Young, and got swept by the lowly Redskins. Obviously they look powerful now, but there's a legitimate possibility that the Giants could finish anywhere from 1st to 3rd in the division next season.

When you compare the Cowboys, Eagles and Giants, the biggest difference was 4th quarter play. The Eagles and Cowboys consistently gave up big leads that would eventually kill there hopes of the postseason. The Giants, however won games late with the heroics of Eli Manning that propelled them on an unlikely Super Bowl win. Obviously the Cowboys fell apart late and that propelled the Giants into the postseason, while the Eagles started off horrible and couldn't catch back up. 

The entire division will be playing the AFC North next season (Steelers, Ravens, Browns, Bengals) as well as the NFC South (Saints, Falcons, Buccaneers, Panthers). The Giants have to play two extra difficult games for finishing in first place (Packers and 49'ers).  

I can realistically see the Cowboys, Eagles or Giants winning the division next year. Similar to this year, the division will probably be decided in the final weeks of the season. Should be an exciting season.
