The defense is going to take some time to get clicking, but when it does I think that our defense will show a massive improvement by seasons end. We've got the tools to do it!

Atl is going to expect us to torch. They know we lost the bruiser Ivory, they have seen PT and Ingram a bit and will feel prepared. Which is why Ive got a gut feeling that Payton will make his statement on opening day.

We will run it down their throats and keep Shat Cryan, Jones, Gonzalez, and Rodney of the field.

Atl can be as prepared as they want, we always torch their D anyway

They expected us to try and torch them for brees' record and we succeeded

Based off SOS, performance, and what not from last year, its a suckers bet on most of those under/over win totals.

you cant convince me that Atlanta (team that has struggled to beat just about anyone including the sub .500 teams last season, is going to be a 10 win team vs what may end up being a very tough schedule for the NFC South all the way around) I consider Atl's 13 win season a miracle. I consider them going over 10 wins last season a miracle given what went down.

heres my picks

Saints - 11
Falcons 9
Panthers 8
Bucs 7

I have already up the ante on that one; office bet is 13-3.

If the Defense does in games what they doing now in OTAs, then they will hit 13 wins or better.

I think 10 is reasonable too
