Your Almost Assuredly Worthless NFL Predictions
Hey, I'm not just a mediocre pick 'em writer -- I'm also a mediocre season predictor. Feel free to take these entirely seriously, and to wager an absurd amount of money based on its findings!

Why am I so in the tank for the Saints? Well, the defense has got to be better, and the offense did everything they did last year without, for the most part, Marques Colston, Reggie Bush, and for a long time, an effective inside runner, in that they kept giving the ball to the broken-down Deuce McAllister, rather than the effective Pierre Thomas, or the reasonably intriguing Mike Bell. This is going to be a pinball machine.

It's back to 2007 in the AFC, with the Patriots running out and hiding in the East, and a fairly clear Big 4 Division Winners more or less controlling things. The conference will also be notable for having clear and obviously awful teams, unlike the great wash of mediocre in the NFC.
Super Bowl: Patriots defeat Saints
Because, well, it's obvious that God doesn't really like New Orleans very much. At all.
Post yours in the comments, along with your theory as to whether I'm sandbagging my Eagles, or really think that are just a 6 seed...

I dunno, man. The Giants offense looked real bad after Burress went out, the linebackers are slow and that secondary is suspect. They might win the division depending on what the Eagles' OL looks like, but I like the Packers a lot more than New York.
