Here is my NFC version.....enjoy. (and pardon the jumbled mess....that's not how I typed it in, but for whatever reason, that's how it comes out.)
NFC East:
Dallas Cowboys - Tony Romo is at the helm for a full season. Lots of talent to work with on offense, and a pretty good defense as well. Secondary must get more consistent and Wade Phillips needs to prove he can coach. 11-5
Philadelphia Eagles - Solid defense, and the season usually rides on the health of Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook. If they can make it a full season then this team should be in the playoffs. 10-6
Washington Redskins - Jason Campbell should me more stable than Mark Brunell was the last couple years. If Clinton Portis goes down, Ladell Betts proved he could run the ball, but the defense.....please make a play! They were dead last in sacks and almost last in turnovers forced last year. 6-10
New York Giants - I think this team will take a huge step back this year. Tiki Barber is gone, but not forgotten because he keeps calling out his old players and coaches. Eli Manning will never amount to a good leader or quarterback. And the defense is not that good either. 5-11
NFC North:
Chicago Bears - Best defense in NFC and it takes advantage of a turnover prone division. Cedric Benson needs to prove he can handle the load for a full season and don't even get me started on the quarterback play of Rex Grossman. Still good enough to romp over the bad competetion. 11-5
Green Bay Packers - Defense was underrated last year, and Brett Favre to Donald Driver is a solid combination. But who will run the ball and can Favre limit is interceptions? Close to the playoffs in a bad conference last year, but not quite there yet. Difficult schedule as well. 6-10
Detroit Lions - Quarterback Jon Kitna said this team will win "atleast 10 games." Right. Poor defense, but do have explosive players on offense. Can't trust Kitna in shootouts, and they dont have a good enough running game. 6-10
Minnesota Vikings - Started strong last season before they fizzled out. Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor are good on the ground, and the defense isn't bad. But Tavaris Jackson is their quarterback and they have no receivers. 5-11
NFC South:
New Orleans Saints - Gotta love Drew Brees, Reggie Bush and company on offense. If the defense can hold its own, this team could go far. Head Coach Sean Payton did an unbelievable job in his first season. 11-5
Carolina Panthers - Top 10 defense and I love Julius Peppers, but that's never the problem. No running game, and Jake Delhomme is far too inconsistent to take advantage of Steve Smith at wide receiver. Never consistent, and always a tough team to figure out how good they are. 9-7
Tampa Bay Bucs - Jeff Garcia is at least a stable QB they can have to work with. "Pinto Williams" isn't an every down running back, and the defense has no pass rushers. Possible Jon Gruden's last season if this team doesn't get any better. 6-10
Atlanta Falcons - Joey Harrington could prove everybody wrong, but I'm not ready to jump on the bandwagon yet. I like the running attack, but the receivers drop A LOT of passes. DeAngelo Hall is a nice corner, but the rest of the secondary is suspect. Don't know if coach Bobby Petrino is ready for the NFL either. 5-11
NFC West
Seattle Seahawks - In this division any team could win, but I'm going to go with experience. Matt Hasselbeck and Shaun Alexander were hurt last season and they still went to overtime in the 2nd round of the playoffs at Chicago. Seattle is a very tough place to play for opposing teams and Deion Branch should be better this season in year two. 9-7
St. Louis Rams - RB Steven Jackson is the best player in the division and definitely in the conference. Marc Bulger is accurate and Tory Holt is one of the best wideouts in the game. Defense isn't too bad, but must step it up if they want to make the playoffs. 9-7
San Francisco 49ers - Alex Smith took a nice step forward last year, as did Frank Gore. The defense added some nice pieces with Nate Clements and rookie Patrick Willis, but I still think they're one year away. Wouldn't be surprised though, if they do sneak into the postseason. 8-8
Arizona Cardinals - Very explosive offensive weapons with Boldin, Fitzgerald and Leinart did well in his first season. Offensive line needs to get better and rookie Levi Brown could help. Defense makes big plays, but needs to also stop giving up big plays. They could very well win the division, but they have a pretty difficult schedule, especially to start. 7-9
Playoffs:
Byes: Chicago, New Orleans.....Dallas over St.Louis Seatte over Philly.....NewOrleans over Seattle, Dallas over Chicago
NFC Championship - New Orleans over Dallas
Super Bowl - New England 31, New Orleans 20.

Not biased at all, I really think the Pats win this year. This season should be great to watch as always. Good luck on your fantasy teams and other gambling!
