NFC DIVISIONAL PICKS
NFC NORTH
1. Green Bay Packers: QB Aaron Rodgers should pick up right where he left off last season, plus he has weapons galore. (11-5)
2. Detroit Lions: Detroit will be threatening for a division crown soon. WR Calvin Johnson is fantastic. (9-7)
3. Chicago Bears: Can QB Jay Cutler win over the Windy City faithful or more importantly his own locker room? Can the Soldier Field playing surface hold up for all 8 home games? (8-8)
4. Minnesota Vikings: RB Adrian Peterson is great, QB Donovan McNabb is getting old and WR Sidney Rice is wearing lime green in Seattle. Coach Leslie Frazier could be "pondering" starting rookie QB Christian Ponder later in the season. (6-10)
NFC SOUTH
1. Atlanta Falcons: Look for QB Matt Ryan to spread the ball to his many weapons, now including WR Julio Jones out of 'Bama. RB Michael "The Burner" Turner should still be a good fantasy pick. (11-5)
2. New Orleans Saints: RB/KR Darren Sproles will fill in nicely for Reggie Bush, but can the defense step up when needed? Keep an eye on rookie RB Mark Ingram and his physical running style. (10-6)
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: QB Josh Freeman will be a Top 12 Fantasy quarterback. But can RB LeGarrett Blount repeat last season's success. (9-7)
4. Carolina Panthers: They were very active in the very brief off-season, but they will continue to be inactive in the post-season without a proven QB. (4-12)
NFC EAST
1. Dallas Cowboys: QB Tony Romo has talent around him, but the defense is highly questionable. (10-6)
2. Philadelphia Eagles: Philly made a big splash signing FA CB Nnamdi Asomougha amongst other big names, but QB Michael Vick will miss at least 3 games and the Eagles will get knocked out in the 1st round of the playoffs again. (10-6)
3. New York Giants: This team is going in the wrong direction. (7-9)
4. Washington Redskins: Who will start at QB? John Beck or Rex Grossman, flip a coin... they both aren't very good. (4-12)
NFC WEST
1. Arizona Cardinals: QB Kevin Kolb will be the savior in Glendale...well no, but he will be better than what the Cards had behind center last season. Plus the rest of the team as a whole is stronger this year. (10-6)
2. St. Louis Rams: QB Sam Bradford will take major steps forward towards becoming a top-tier signal caller in the league. The Rams are working in the right direction. (9-7)
3. Seattle Seahawks: Pretty brutal at the quarterback position, but Qwest Field is good for +2 wins a season. (6-10)
4. San Francisco 49ers: Also pretty brutal at the quarterback position, but whoever plays QB has a solid TE in Vernon Davis and very good RB in Frank Gore. (6-10)
