Playoff Picks

With Pittsburgh and Baltimore in their division, the Bengals' luck is the most likely of the current division leaders to run out.

The bad luck Bengals

If franchises are somewhat branded by an identity, then the Bengals' is of a team perennially beset by misfortune and miscalculation.

Don't count on Cards

The only team currently leading their division played in last season's Super Bowl and, coincidentally, is the only team that won't play for the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

No one safe but Saints, Colts, Vikes

The two divisional leaders I have the least faith in at this point are in the West -- NFC West's Arizona and AFC West's Denver.

Not in the Cards

The one division leader that I don't see making the playoffs is the 4-3 Arizona Cardinals.

Too Early to Tell

It's best to wait and see how the season plays out before judging the superiority of this or that conference.

Manning Still the Man

What has separated Manning from Brees this season is consistency.

Brees at the Top

Drew is without question the best quarterback in the league. If it takes a few more wins for the country to realize that, so be it.

Strange Happenings This Season

More than one-third of the league is unbeaten or winless a quarter of the way into the season. That's not normal for the NFL.

Middle Class Still Rules

Just give it some time, and the class system will sort itself out.

Parity Still Alive

There have always been bad quarterbacks, idiotic coaches and poor front offices, and there will always be.

Look Under Center

How can an NFL team be expected to be competitive when teams have revolving doors at the QB position?

All About Quarterbacks

The reason for the wide disparity in winning teams and losing ones comes down to one thing: quarterback play.

Why Such Disparity?

Backing Up Controversy

I said a few weeks ago that there will be a quarterback controversy in Philadelphia this season. I just didn't know it would be the backups.

Control Your Drinking

Better controlling the tailgating experience could have a huge impact on the overall experience of attending an NFL game.

Dysfunction Saves Saints

It's entirely possible that Matt Ryan could hit a sophomore slump in Atlanta. That Jake Delhomme is capable of stinking up the joint like he did in that unsightly playoff loss. That Tampa Bay with a new head coach and yet another new quarterback could fall by the wayside. All of this points to the Saints returning to the playoffs after taking a year off.

Chiefs Could Do It

New Kansas City Chiefs coach Todd Haley has two huge advantages in his corner: He has a team that has added veteran leaders, and his Chiefs will be playing in what looks like the NFL's worst division. That could set up a playoff run.

Brees & L.T.? A Big Easy

If the Chargers release Tomlinson, the Saints should pounce immediately

Not Overrated, Oft-Injured

He is the Saints franchise as long as he's healthy.

Oddly Positioned Player

He's not a standard running back, nor is he a standard receiver.

By Doug Farrar | December 11, 2008; 01:30 PM ET | Comments (0)

It's New Orleans.

The Saints might be ready to finish what they started when they made it to the NFC Championship game at the end of their miracle 2006 season.

Saints Have The Offense To Do It

You gotta love the Saints' offense.

I Dunno; You Tell Me

This feels a little like one of those Tampa Bay Bucs years... only without the Bucs.
