Hey I know exactly who will win the division.

The team with the most wins.

Now THAT is a correlation that is founded on relative data .

TheOak

Here is one for you Will.

Since 2000 No team has ever gone 0-4 in the Preseason and won the Super Bowl. The ONLY team to ever go 0-4 in the preseason and win the Super Bowl was the 1992 Red Skins, other than that the 1990 Bills and the 2000 Giants are the only teams to ever make it to a Super Bowl after going 0-4 in the preseason.

So Atlanta is out of Super Bowl contention, and so are the Steelers... Hang it up, stick a fork in them.

2012 Ravens (2-2) 49ers (3-1)
2011 Giants (2-2) Patriots (2-2)
2010 Packers (2-2) Steelers (3-1)
2009 Saints (3-1) Colts (1-3)
2008 Steelers (3-1) Cardinals (2-2)
2007 Giants (1-3) Patriots (2-2)
2006 Colts (1-3) Bears (2-2)
2005 Steelers (3-1) Seahawks (2-2)
2004 Patriots (1-3) Eagles (1-3)
2003 Patriots (4-0) Panthers (4-0)
2002 Buccaneers (3-1) Raiders (2-2)
2001 Patriots (3-1) Rams (4-1)*(played in HOF game)
2000 Ravens (4-0) Giants (0-4)


Average pre-season record of the SB winning team is 2.46-1.53
Average pre-season record of the SB losing team is 2.15-1.92

Since 2000
Nine teams had 2-2 records.
Seven teams had 3-1 records
Five teams had 1-3 records.

Falcons: lot of talent at skill positions, decimated by injuries this year, playing a 3rd, or maybe even 4th place schedule next year
Saints: Most starters back
Panthers: playing over their heads, and their offense really isn't very good
Bucs: suck

facts, not trends

No, I said that it could be 1.Carolina or TB 2.Carolina or NO 3.Atlanta 4.TB or NO

And guess what it very well could be this. Key injuries happen every year. No team stays perfectly healthy with key players back to back years. When a big year happens, a injury hits the next season and you see the team start reacting to it on the field. The south has been a numbers curse division for some time now.
