2008 marked the first time in the last six years that a team from the NFC SOUTH DIVISION failed to move from the outhouse to the penthouse, or last place to first place.
That’s not to say that Atlanta, the NFC SOUTH DIVISION cellar dweller in 2007, didn’t deliver last season. They did. It’s just that Carolina won one extra game and edged out the Falcons for division honors.
Life is a struggle during these troubled times in the Motor City.
It’s sad when the biggest selling souvenir on Sundays at Ford Field during the football season these days is a paper bag. That’s because the Lions’ football team is deeper in the tank than the auto industry.

Hands down the toughest division in the NFC, and arguably in the entire NFL, the NFC EAST DIVISION is home to the best defensive brand of football in the league.
The division completed a ‘grand slam’ of sorts in 2008 when all four residents ended the season with sub 300-yard defenses.
To further enhance their stance, a message was sent to the rest of the league when all four teams shored up their stop-units in the off-season.

Three new coaches went camping for the first time with teams in the new-look AFC WEST DIVISION this summer. Not surprisingly, none of who are expected to produce winning seasons in 2009. Welcome to the mild, mild West.
By deduction, that leaves San Diego as the team to beat in the AFC West this season.
2009 NFL Preview; Team by Team Keys to a Successful Season
With the return of Tom Brady from knee surgery and the past success of the franchise, the NFL odds makers have instilled the New England Patriots as the odds-on-favorite to win another Super Bowl. Unfortunately for New England there are thirty-one other teams, including the defending champion Pittsburgh Steelers that will have something to say about that.
Thought by many to be the toughest division in the NFL, the AFC South has fielded only two teams that have suffered a losing record the last three years.
As a result these teams are 23-10 SU and 24-9 ATS as non-division dogs of less than six points in that span, including 7-0 SU and ATS last season.
Will the South rise again in 2009? Stay tuned.
Often looked upon as a mediocre division, the frigid AFC North is home to three of the last eight Super Bowl winners.
It’s also where residing teams are 4-1 SU and 5-0 ATS on the conference playoff road outside the North since the division realignment in 2002.
Check out conditions in the AFC North before dipping your toes in the water this season. You might be surprised at what you find.
Q: How wacky of a season was it in the AFC East Division last year?
A: A one-win team (Miami) the previous year won the division while another team (New England) managed 11-wins, yet saw its five-year playoff skein snapped.
Such is life in the AFC East, where Bill Parcells’ presence paid huge dividends for the Dolphins while Tom Brady’s injury left a lasting impression that Patriots’ fans would soon like to forget.
The biggest day in the sports world is almost upon us and Super Bowl XLIII couldn’t be more exciting. The matchup features a team that has never made a Super Bowl against one that’s been there seven times. Fan interest is at an all-time high and there couldn’t be more to look forward to on the field.
The regular season of NFL Picks has concluded and now it’s time to turn our attention to this weeks NFL Wildcard Playoff Picks. Looking at this years participants there are certainly some surprises because I can’t think of many “experts” who listed Minnesota, Atlanta or Arizona as making it to the playoffs at the beginning of the year.
There’s no better way to celebrate the United States’ absolute hatred of turkeys than by slaughtering and munching on them by the billions! While the family conversation bores you to death, why don’t you stuff your face full of some gravy and potatoes while three Superbowl candidates beat up on three of the worst teams in the league?

Chargers to Get Snuffed By Bills
Leave it to J.P. Losman to ruin an undefeated season. The Bills are playing host to one of the most untrustworthy teams in NFL betting. The Chargers are 3-2-1 ATS, but most of those spread victories have come at home, or against the Raiders. The Bills are one of the steadier teams in the league, and have both Trent Edwards and Roscoe Parrish returning to the lineup this week.
