Worst to first?

Which cellar dwellar from last season has the best chance to win their division this year and why?

I'm gonna homer my own poll out answering New Orleans. I don't think there is a wide discrepancy in talent between all 4 teams. New Orleans has been a top 10 defense away from being a contender for a couple of years. How can the #1 offense and top scoring team be an 8-8 standing? Terrible defense. New Orleans has added Gregg Williams to change to an aggressive and blitzing defense. They've added Jabari Greer and Darren Sharper to shore up the secondary along with spending their 1st round pick on CB Malcolm Jenkins. They re-signed standout MLB Jonathan Vilma to a deal and shored up the d-line adding former Gregg Williams protege Paul Spicer and Anthony Hargrove. I think this will be enough to get the job done on that side of the ball. On offense, healthy Marques Colston and Jeremy Shockey along with Pierre Thomas seeing full time in the back field will take a scary offense even further.

Bring your thoughts.

Saints all the way.

Saints, weakest division is a big reason why, and they underachieved last year.

I went with Jacksonville.

Saints have the Falcons above them. I think the Falcons could be the best team in the NFC this year. No way they win that division. Also don't forget the Panthers.


The reason why I went with the Jags, is because they have the division with a Colts team that is aging and has a new coach and new coaching staff. Titans have an old QB a horrible backup and no Haynesworth. And the Texans are always great and a trendy pick before the season, but always seem to find a way to lose a handful of games.

Voted for the Saints. However, Nate's point on the Jags is interesting. An injury disaster scenario in their division is probably the most likely out of the remaining divisions.

The wankster who else?

I think the Bills will be good but refuse to admit it because my neighbor is a huge Bills fan and I have to listen to his bs all the time.

KC finished last in that division last year so the Raiders could not go worst to first.

And to the comment about the NFL South being the weakest division I have 2 comments to that. #1, no team in the division went under .500 last year, and #2 - the NFC West. 7-9 could arguably take that division if it had to. St. Louis, San Fran, Seattle....8-8 is a pipe dream for these guys.
