A look into the NFC, which teams did the Ink on Indy staff pick to be crowned with their respective NFC division titles?

NFC East:

Sam Bradford is getting a lot of hype in Chip Kelly’s offense this preseason, but he still has to show he can stay healthy. Meanwhile, Eli Manning hopes to add another weapon back into the fold in Victor Cruz this year. If Cruz can stay healthy and take pressure off Odell Beckham Jr., the Giants could be back in the fold in the NFC. The Cowboys worry me without Demarco Murray who is now in Philly. I think the Eagles could win the division if Bradford stays healthy….but that’s a big IF. In the end, the New York Giants win a close division race.

Andrew Turpen – @ATplace2be: Dallas Cowboys

Kevin Siskin – @JaydotSiskin: Philadelphia Eagles

Scott Stewart – @Scostew: Dallas Cowboys

Dave McKee – @TheDaveMcKee: Dallas Cowboys

NFC North:

Even though the Packers lost Jordy Nelson for the season, they still have arguably the best quarterback in the NFL. As long as Randall Cobb, Eddie Lacy, and of course Rodgers stay healthy,  I don’t see anyone in the NFC North dethroning the Packers. The Lions could, but they seem more like the cowardly Lion type when it comes to winning that division.

Andrew Turpen – @ATplace2be: The Green Bay Packers barely edge out the Detroit Lions

Kevin Siskin – @JaydotSiskin: Green Bay Packers

Scott Stewart – @Scostew: Green Bay Packers

Dave McKee – @TheDaveMcKee: Green Bay Packers

NFC South:

This division is pretty bad. I think all four teams have a chance to win this division. Carolina has a good defense, no offense outside of Cam Newton. The Saints and Falcons have a good offense, no defense, and the Bucs are young but talented. This is truly a crap shoot. I’ll stick with the defense wins mentality and say the Panthers win the division at 8-8.

Andrew Turpen – @ATplace2be: New Orleans Saints

Kevin Siskin – @JaydotSiskin: Atlanta Falcons

Scott Stewart – @Scostew: New Orleans Saints

Dave McKee – @TheDaveMcKee: Atlanta Falcons… Tevin Coleman a playmaker!

NFC West:

Arizona is fresh on the heels of those Seahawks, If Carson Palmer can stay healthy, I think they have a shot, similar to the Eagles and Bradford situation that I mentioned earlier. The Jimmy Graham addition likely keeps the Seahawks on top, and I’d really keep an eye on Seahawks rookie Tyler Lockett.
