Three of the NFC's playoff teams came from the East last year and this year it could happen again. Dallas is the favorite because, face it, the Cowboys are loaded and are still getting better ... NFC South 2008 NFL Season Preview - The NFC South is a strange division. No one ever repeats it has never happened since they went to four divisions in 2002. This year won't be any different, as the Saints have talent where it counts, which is why we think they edge out Carolina for the title while Tampa Bay falls back to 8-8.

No matter what the Colts say about not being a one man team, they are. If Manning is healthy they win, if not they are lucky to be a .500 team. The Jacksonville Jaguars keep improving and should catch the Colts this year ... AFC North 2008 NFL Preview - The AFC North is now one of the strongest and for sure the most bruising division in football. The Steelers and Browns should fight it out for the division this year and even Cincy has a chance to sneak up on them as they fight it out, and although the Ravens have serious problems, no one would say they are not a tough team. Look for a thrilling season up North ... AFC West 2008 NFL Season Preview - The AFC West takes over from the NFC West as the worst division in football. That said, the AFC West remains strong at the top with the Chargers being a championship contender.
