2015 NFC Predictions
By William Cook
Special to sfl-football.com

NFC East

1. Washington Redskins
2. New York Giants
3. Dallas Cowboys
4. Philadelphia Eagles

Analysis: The Washington Redskins were horrible to start last year but ended hot. I think that Bill Ryan found something that worked and if he goes back to it, I think they win the division, because there's not much competition here. Sure, the New York Giants look good on paper, but he who trust Big Ben gets burnt. The Dallas Cowboys may make a jump but I think they're one year out from Glennon being ready. Last place is the laughable Philadelphia Eagles. They may be picking first overall again.

NFC North

1. Chicago Bears
2. Detroit Lions
3. Minnesota Vikings
4. Green Bay Packers

Analysis: This is more a question of who I trust the most in this division, and that's the Chicago Bears. But right behind them, the Detroit Lions could push to win the division this year as their roster is looking better than ever before. The Minnesota Vikings ran to the Super Bowl last year, but it's safe to say they overperformed and could likely come back to Earth. Last place will be the Green Bay Packers where their GM may not luck out again with no other hot seat teams.

NFC South

1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
2. Carolina Panthers
3. Atlanta Falcons
4. New Orleans Saints

Analysis: Last year this was the most exciting division to watch. I do like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' chance to win the division, but the Carolina Panthers will continue to push them where possible. The Atlanta Falcons will also be in the mix much later this season, while the New Orleans Saints will begin a meticulous rebuild.

NFC West

1. St. Louis Rams
2. Arizona Cardinals
3. Seattle Seahawks
4. San Francisco 49ers

Analysis: This is like throwing a dart and hoping it lands on the right team. For me, this year, it's the St. Louis Rams. I think the team is ready to compete and will beat out the Arizona Cardinals for the first time in a few seasons. I've got the Seattle Seahawks third, primarily because I think Rock will always do what's necessary to stay in Seattle. Last is the San Francisco 49ers, but as I always feel with this division, I feel sick putting them there.
