It is very hard to win a huge number of games in consecutive years, but the NFC South has the extreme benefit of playing the AFC East this year. Outside of New England, nobody in the AFC East is a threat.

I'm an idiot and listed the wrong stuff, but we get to face the NFC West, but Arizona and St. Louis are locks for W's.

The Falcons and Saints are so much better than Carolina and Tampa Bay that it's not even funny. They will struggle against teams like St. Louis and Arizona, but I fully believe that the Saints and Falcons should win those at least by 10.

ETA: Outside of 2009 (When Matt Ryan was injured for a game and a half), the Falcons have won 10+ games every season since 2008. New Orleans has 10+ wins in every season since 2008 except 2008 and last year. Between the other two NFCS teams, Tampa is the only one that had a season with 10+ wins and that lone season came in 2010.

We're playing the NFC west...not the east (or the north as you listed )

The games are either at home or away early enough in the year that weather won't play a factor...

You said the NFCS plays the NFC East, which is incorrect, and went on to list teams from the NFCN. The NFCS plays the suddenly stout NFC West (SF, Seattle, St. Louis, Arizona). Buffalo, NYJ, Miami, St. Louis, and Arizona should provide at least 4 wins for both Atlanta and NOLA, though.
