Those are good picks to make which no one knows for sure in this day in age how anything will unfold. A prime example is the play of the Falcons and Dolphins a year ago.

I like at the NFC North as a 3-team race, and Bears had better improve on their 9-7 record from a year ago or it is a disappoint in the eyes of many in Chicago. I hope it is for the better as a Bears fan.

I wonder if the Super Bowl loser jinx will bite the Cardinals like it has everyone else in the last several years.

At any rate, good stuff as always, 3rdStone!

Glad to see the Cowboys third.

Let's hope not Minnesota ... come on Packers!

NFC South will be a war.

Could Arizona be ready for a let down?

Bengals with an offense? Hmmmm ... but agree that the defense is underrated. At least you have them above the Browns.

Pats again? A;though I respect them, I hope not.

Texans compete, but don't overtake Colts.

Chargers over in a week division.
