Given the way all of you have clashed in recent days over the Falcons' fortunes in the weeks and months ahead, I thought it would be a good time to discuss how the NFC South will shake out this season.
Essentially, that just means figuring out where the Falcons will finish, and their hated rivals the Saints, the Bucs and the Panthers. Nothing complicated, I think, and perhaps a nice cooldown from the Falcons-Steelers discussion.
Here's my record predictions.
Saints: 11-5
Falcons: 11-5
Buccaneers: 9-7
Panthers: 4-12
That's where I stand. Prognosticate, and we'll see how you feel in a week or so.
