I'll attempt to give it a go here.

NFC East
Giants 10-6
Eagles 10-6
Cowboys 7-9
Red Skins 7-9

The teams in this Division play a tough schedule as they go against the NFC South and AFC North. I like the Giants here because Eli is very proven at being able to play a full NFL season without missing ant games. Eagles have talent, but I still think Vick misses time, and their backups won't be able to pick up the slack. The Cowboys always boast about talent, but I don't like their depth at receiver, and Austins hamstring require them to need it. I also don't think Jason Garret is up to the challenge here. The Skins could be a sleeper here if they can get a productive running game. But I think RG3 will make some rookie mistakes at QB, and the Red Skins aren't going to ask him to be a caretaker so with the upside, they'll deal with some growing pains.

NFC South
Saints 10-6
Falcons 10-6
Bucs 8-8
Panthers 6-10

This is the Division to shop for your fantasy team. All of these teams should have good offences that rack up yards, and put points on the board. But it will be the ability to limit opponents and create turn overs that separate these teams. The Saints will miss Sean Payton, but the players have a chip on their shoulder. The offence won't run as good as it did last year...but it will still be a top 3 offence. The Falcons seem to have nice balance, but I think their playoff ghosts haunt their confidence a bit. The Bucs could be a big rebound team, as they've upgraded the weapons for Josh Freeman, and a new culture should help. The Panthers spiked last year, and I think reality will get them this year. Teams know what to expect from Cam Newton, and I don't think the defence improved enough to deter other teams from putting up a lot of points.

NFC North
Green Bay 11-5
Chicago 9-7
Detroit 9-7
Minnesota 3-13
This is a pretty good Division too, and I expect the Vikings will play better than their record. But Green Bay is still the most dynamic offence here, and I expect their defence to rebound. Their focus will be about playing their best at the end of the season, not trying to be undefeated. The Bears will benefit from the addition of Brandon Marshall. But you can't hide from father time, and the Bears defence is aging. The Lions could put it together and be better than I expect...but they have a Bengals feel to me given the off field stuff. Until they buy into better discipline, I think they'll hold themselves back. The Vikings are in a rebuild, and this is a tough division to do it in. If Christian Ponder plays well, and they stop the run a bit, they could spoil a few teams playoff aspirations in December

NFC West
San Francisco 10-6
Seattle 8-8
St.Louis 7-9
Arizona 5-11
Well this is probably the poorest Division in the NFL in terms of QB's. San Fran was the team last year that I thought they'd be two years ago. But they face a tough schedule, and when a team returns all it's starters...sometimes that indicates age, and means injuries will hit you hard. Still well coached, and should be better in the passing game. Seattle should have a pretty good defence, but I'm not sold on them offensively. Lynch won't be as good as he was last year. St.Louis could be a spike team if Bradford has a Stafford like breakout third season. I still don't think their package of weapons on offence will get them through a full season. If they start out well, the confidence early will really help them. Arizona...I don't think they did enough to improve in the offseason, and the QB situation will hang over them.
