NFC South schedule easiest in NFL.
If you rank the divisions from each conference, I get...
I ranked the division before I came up with the results...

1-AFC-E Best in AFC
2-AFC-S
3-AFC-N
4-AFC-W Worst in AFC

1-NFC-S Best in NFC (plays nfc-1, afc-4 and nfc-4) = 9
2-NFC-E (plays nfc-2, afc-3, and nfc-3) = 8
3-NFC-N (plays nfc-3, afc-2, and nfc-2) = 7
4-NFC-W Worst in NFC (plays nfc-4, afc-1, and nfc-1) = 6

I know things change alot from season to season but I thought it was interesting when I did this little experiment that the NFC South actually has the easiest schedule based on my strength of division projections.
And given the above, the Saints play most of the tough teams at home against teams with LOUSY road records (Denver, KC, and Seattle)

What does it mean? Not a whole freaking lot I'll admit, but maybe that the wildcards will come from the NFC-S and NFC-E.

Food for thought while we await yet another rosey camp report.

Man, I don\'t know. With teams going from worst to first every year, you just never know. I don\'t get caught up in the schedule too much.

\"We just need to take it one game at a time.\" - A line out of the Haslett company handbook...

I agree with you Gumbo, you never know who\'s going to be good until the season starts. Although I also agree with Danno that it appears that we do have an easy schedule, if the teams play like they did last year. It\'s about time we get an easy schedule anyway and coupled with our talented offense, which will only be better this year and our much improved defense, maybe this is next year!
