I think ATL is going to drop off to about 10-6. I think TB is gonna drop down to about 8-8. I think we win it at 11-5. ATL was only really consistently effective when Turner was running well. I think this is the year the mileage catches up with him a bit. I DO think that Freeman is going to surpass Ryan.

Bucs are only a stud WR away from being better than ATL. They had an amazing draft and Freeman is progressing very well. They even found a feature runningback who could stay healthy in Legarrette Blount.

Both of their games last year were close, most division games are but the Bucs had a much better draft then ATL. They had key injuries to Gerald McCoy and Brian Price and struggled to stop the run on defense. Clayborn will start, don't know about Bowers. I'm glad Aqib Talib will not be returning to their squad.Say what you will about him, he has a knack for picking off passes.

It's definitely already up there. Top 3 I think.


(no order)
NFC South
AFC West
AFC East

Bucs should be better than ATL and I wouldn't put a lot of money against them winning the NFC South

I think the South is between The Saints and TB. I'm more excited about the Saints this year and can't wait to get my #90 Rogers jersey and #93 Galette. The reason I think Tampa is becaus their last 2 drafts they got 4 first round D Linemen. I can only hope those dudes turn out to suck. If they (or any team, ask Brady) can rush 4, it doesn't matter what kinda offense you put on the field.

Any substantive reasons why you think TB falls to 8-8? They were clearly a team on the rise these past 2 seasons, and if you think Freeman is going to "surpass Ryan" than how the hell are they going to only go 8-8?

The AFC West is terrible. The NFC East should be in their place.

I don't think the Failcons will have the same luck that they had last year. Seemed like every break went their way. Like us in 09.

Put the NFC North in the mix. GB won the Superbowl. CHI went to the NFC championship. DET is on the rise and might make the playoffs if Stafford stays healthy. MIN will struggle but you can't really count them out as long as they have AP.

I was thinking the same thing but Minnesota will be relying on a rookie to be the starting QB after a lockout. Detroit's defense is on the rise but Stafford has to remain healthy for me to think they are more than a speed bump for the other teams in their division.

The Falcons have some glaring holes on defense, yet they didn't address them.

They overpaid for a WR who may help their offense, but then they won't stop anyone.

Much of their success last year came down to luck. That won't repeat this year (as we found out in 2010).

I see them as 10-6 AT BEST.

Tampa, on the other hand, play solid on both sides of the ball and will not be an easy out any week of the season. They are built the right way and are well coached. They are young, and will be a force to be reckoned with.
