NFC Division Winners

.....and the NFC.

NFC West- Cardinals
Just slowly pulling away from the rest of the division. Each team is significantly worse than Arizona, but can show flashes to compete with them for short periods of the season. Niners and Seahawks are just to inconsistent and have begun to separate from the leader significantly.

NFC South- Saints
Not only division winners, but likely NFC regular season champs. What is most interesting about this team is how they will perform in the playoffs. Seem like the kind of team that is built for the regular season, but Drew Brees has enough moxy to make enough things happen. Really like this team which appears to have a lot to prove especially the defense. Atlanta might make a postseason appearance, but I do not see it. The honeymoon has definitely ended with Matt Ryan, but he will be a quality starter. To many good teams in the back half of their schedule for me to feel confident putting them in the playoffs.
the
NFC North- Minnesota
Just wrote a long article on Packers chances at the postseason so will glance over that, but the Vikings are going to cruise into a first round bye, and possibly home field advantage for the playoffs. Physically dominate the bad teams in the league which really erases much chance at being upset, would love to see them and Saints play. I think everyone would love to watch that match up.

NFC East- Eagles
Best schedule setup between the contenders. Hard to predict what will happen to an up and down Giants team coming off a bye. Even if they come around however they still will have a hard time taking down both the Eagles and Cowboys. Cowboys are safest pick, but showed little to no life against the Packers. Will regain some of their mojo with the Redskins coming up, but it is hard to trust a team that seems so slow and old on the offensive line. If another letdown happens in Dallas expect not only Wade Phillips to be gone, but several key members of team. Looking at you Roy Williams and possibly Tony Romo. I believe the Eagles are going to rattle off a few wins in a row and finish the season playing their best football of the season.
