This Year’s Predictions For The NFC South
The teams comprising the NFC South had solid seasons last year — besides the Panthers of course. This year it is safe to expect more of the same for the most part.
Atlanta Falcons: Never has a team went 14 – 2 in a regular season and still received such little attention. This year’s squad won’t win 14 games, but they will still be very strong, especially after bolstering their defense with a couple key additions. Prediction — 12 – 4
New Orleans Saints: One year removed from a Superbowl victory, an extremely talented and well coached roster remains. Oh, and that Drew Brees guy is still pretty good. Expect a solid season once again in NOLA. Prediction — 11 – 5
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: One of the true surprises of last season, the Bucs were thisclose to making the playoffs. Going into this season look for them to address the defense, their main issue of last season. Prediction — 9 – 7
Carolina Panthers: The Cam Newton Express is leaving the station. Rookie quarterbacks are known for shaky performances, to expect much from him this early would unfair and unwarranted. Look for a rough year in Carolina. Prediction — 3 – 13Want to know more? Go ahead: NFL Predictions 2011: Falcons Over Saints In NFC South With Bucs Not Far Behind
