NFC South

New Orleans Saints 7-2

The Saints are still winning the NFC South, but their offense is an issue that needs to be fixed. Drew Brees hasn’t really been able to stretch the field since last Thanksgiving. He has one true wide receiving threat. The Saints defense is going to be important going forward. The offense will improve. Their chance at a one-seed goes through the Niners. Maybe the loss to the Falcons was the best thing for the Saints and it wakes them up.

Remaining Games:  @Bucs, Panthers, @Falcons, Niners, Colts, @Titans, @Panthers

Carolina Panthers 5-4

Carolina is on the outside looking in right now. They will have two tough games against the Saints and lose-able games against the Seahawks and Colts. A 9-7 record won’t make the playoffs in the NFC.

Remaining Games: Falcons, @Saints, Redskins, @Falcons, Seahawks, @Colts, Saints
