Your girlfriend might know this division as "the teams with the shiny helmets." So do I, actually. Now that Michael Vick is in prison, this division isn't that interesting anymore. I might be more out of touch with this division than any other, so get ready. Picks.
1) New Orleans Saints
I once wrote about how disruptive Jeremy Shockey is and how much it helps The Giants and Eli having him gone, but it helps The Saints just as much getting him. That offense has almost an endless supply of weapons and that should probably be enough to win this division. They used to remind me of The Bengals, but now Cincinnati doesn't even have a good offense anymore so that comparison no longer applies. As long as they get an actual running back to go with Reggie Bush, their offense should be enough for first place.
New Orleans Fantasy: Marques Colston
2) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Bucs were mysteriously good last year but they weren't good enough to win a Wild Card playoff game at home. Gruden is a good coach, but two of their best offensive players (Joey Galloway and Jeff Garcia) are 37 and 38. If Garcia gets hurt, their backup is Luke McCown. Ouch. Oh, and this team also includes Doucheman Member Jerramy Stevens (I told you he spelled his name like an idiot). I just see any point to this team making the playoffs.
3) Atlanta Falcons
I feel that I have to put these poor bastards (the only team in this division without a shiny helmet) not in last place. It comes down to the fact that I think Matt Ryan is better than Jake Delhomme. I am not a huge fan of Matt Ryan...I'm really not even a fan, I just don't think that Jake Delhomme has ever been good. He looks good when he plays the "may the best man win" strategy throwing to Steve Smith, but Smith is out for the first two games and is threatening to have a bad year with all of his shinanigans. I say Michael Turner, Matt Ryan and Michael Jenkins team up and have a fantastic 5-11 season.
Buddies' Falcons: Michael Jenkins
4) Carolina Panthers
At this point, I'm pretty sick of having to write anything about teams who I think will finish in last place. I say Josh McCown is starting by the end of the season because of either injury, ineffectiveness, or both from Delhomme.
Fantasy Panthers: D.J. Hackett
