NFC South

team. 48. The Buccaneers crushed the Falcons at home in week 1 to start off the season. The Cardinals put them back in their place after winning 40-7. The Bucs had a rough game, but this team could still make a playoff run.. . . Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 1

Carolina Panthers. 2. team. 87. The Panthers are one of the most dangerous teams in the NFL. They are good on both sides of the balls with two superstars guiding the way. They are likely to win the South and will probably have bye.. .

team. 44. The Falcons went into Oakland and beat a good Raiders team. The Falcons ended last season in an awful way after starting off 5-0. Matt Ryan will have to be great for the Falcons to make a wild-card run, but he can do it.. . . Atlanta Falcons. 3

The Saints could very easily be undefeated instead of winless. They played in two very competitive games losing to Oakland on a successful two-point conversation and then to the Giants largely due to a blocked field goal. The Saints are good, but they are most likely missing the postseason.. . . New Orleans Saints. 4. team. 15
