Falcons: 11-5: As good, and potentially great, as Vick is, the team can't advance until it stops expecting him to be a miracle worker. They need to surround him with players, and he needs to have trust in his teammates. And I think it's starting to happen. I think Dunn and Duckett are very underrated, Roddy White was a nice pickup in the draft this year and Crumpler to Vick is like Cooley to Ramsey.

Panthers: 10-6: Probably will get a wild card spot. They play sound football. Provided they stay healthy they're not likely to beat themselves too often

Saints: 8-8: As has been said here many times Haslett just isn't getting it done. As I understand it the only reason he still has a job is because it would cost too much money to fire him. Something needs to be done down there because with Horn, Deuce, and Brooks they should be better. Maybe that trio needs to be broken up

Bucs: 3-13: It's going to be a long painful season in Tampa
