NFC DIVISION PICKS

NFC EAST - A dog eat dog division if ever there was one (head in hands man).  I've tried very hard to make a strong case against the eagles but apart from 'Andy Reid is a fat bottler whose clock management makes a Labour Chancellors budget management look AAA' it can't do it.  The Eagles have the best team and the best schedule of the 3 challengers with the skins a distant 4th hoping to lead the race to 'suck for Luck'

PICK - PHILADELPHIA

Yellow matter custard

NFC NORTH -  The CHAMPS, Green Bay are a best price 8/15 to win this division, plenty short when they didn't even win it last year. I'm taking a chance on the Vikings as they have a relatively 'easy' start and hope AD AP can fly out the traps and give the team some momentum which could lead to a shock.  McNabb hopefully feels like giving the Skins the finger and proves a point at a general 10/1.

PICK - MINNESOTA

A 2009 Favrelike season possibly ????

NFC WEST - I don't know, simple as that. I could have gone for the rams and gone all out on Sam Bradford red indian puns, 49ers and gay puns,  or the Cardinals because they have the best receiver in football. But i just can't convince myself on any of them, so I'll speculate on last years division champs @ 8/1whose coach is a very very very fine coach

PICK - SEATTLE

Pete Carroll can change the world

NFC SOUTH  -  Last year the Bucs benefited from a soft schedule, this year they wont and will be back to .500 at best. Atlanta gave up their draft to get Julio Jones to take some pressure of Roddy White and this year could be shit or bust for them. Last year they won a few games by a gnats tadger and their record probably flattered them a touch. The saints had a few shit houses like losses to Cleveland and Arizona and still came out with 11-5, take them with their new look RB trio of Thomas, Sproles and Ingham to control the clock, and the division.

PICK - NEW ORLEANS

Reggie Bush has departed New Orleans for a quiet life in Miami
