Every year someone will win a division because the rest of the teams are weak. You cant hold that against them. The Saints play down to their opponents so I am glad they are in a tough divivsion. The Cowboys, Redskins, and Giants all won super bowls in the 90\'s and will be competitive again soon. The Packers are in a usually tough division with the bears, vikings having off years. The Saints have the Falcons and Bucs so thier are some strong teams now, but look at the records of the last 10 years for these teams. A team will always make the playoffs because of a weak division.
Playoffs
North- Packers
East- Eagles
South - New orleans
West - 49ers
Wild Cards
Tampa Bay
Atlanta
3 teams from the south will make it to the playoffs. 1 will make it to the super bowl

Saints and Packers in the NFC championship game
Saints and Broncos in San Diego.

The South has been the big surprise for the experts. No one gave the Saints a shot. I still don\'t think the Falcons are as strong as people are saying. In fact I think they are one good hit from being a poor team. Vick is already banged up and I thnk that the next couple of weeks are critical for them. If Vick can stay healthy I think they will make the playoffs. I just don\'t think he can stay healthy. The Saints should win the division. Tampa a wild card. Atlanta a wild card (if Vick is healthy) If not watch out for Zona. The packers make it by default and Philadelphia as well. San Fran wins the west. Home field advantage will play a key role in the playoffs especially if the Pack has homefield. They are had to beat at Lambeau Field. On the other hand, Farve is hurt. He can deny it all he wants, but on Monday night he got up gimpy after every hit. Miami was just a little worse off. Lucas play like crap. I expect him to miss a game or two down somewhere down the line or be knocked out of a game. The Saints could go deep, but it won\'t be easy. I the Saints can get home field advantage that would help a lot. I think we have to wait until the fourth quarter of the season to really see how the playoff picture develops. Of course I want the Saints to win it all. It would be a shame if we let this great start be for naught.

Could be. I just think the Giants are really inconsistant. But again who really knows?
