If it's possible, the Cards defense is going to be even worse than last year. Honestly? They have to be the worst team in the worst division in football on paper. I can't see a .500 season in their future. Don't forget they've also lost their two best WR's not named "Fitzgerald" during the last two offseasons.

the division is really a crap shoot.

If I was betting, I'd take the over. With the division they are in, and the schedule they have, I believe they have a better chance of going 7-9 than 6-10

But the biggest bet I'd make is the under on the Giants.

Lots of interesting o/u's in that division. I could make compelling arguments to bet the under on every NFC East team.

I think the Giants got much worse over the offseason. I think there record will be closer to 7-9 than 10-6.

I wont touch the Eagles.. they have the talent to go 14-2 and the coach that could make them 9-7.

Cowboys, I have no clue. I think Romo is overrated.

Skins are going to suck.. probably similar to last year.

I would bet the Eagles to win the division, but the only O/U I'd take is the Under for the Giants.

I expect the Jets to be better than the Pats this year. 12-4 Jets season. 9-7 maybe 10-6 for the Pats this year.

Atlanta misses the playoffs.. Bucks win the South.

Green Bay wins the North, Lions 2nd.

Arizona wins the west with the only record .500 or better in the division.

Ravens miss the playoffs.

Pats improved their defense and got a much needed deep threat, hard to see Brady and Co. slipping back.

The defense picked up the best corner in the draft along with the a few lower level free agents. The remade the o-line and added Kolb and Heap. All that being said, they have six winnable division games plus play the Panthers, Browns, Bengals, Vikings, and Redskins. I will be betting the over.

They also traded away their best corner. The point about the schedule is well-taken though.

It's fine to say they have a winnable division (what division isn't?), but the Cardinals are by no means the most talented or well-coached team in that division. Heap is about 87 and hasn't had an injury-free season, well, in basically his entire career. If he's who Cards fans are banking on to be a great complementary receiver to Larry Fitzgerald, then the Cardinals may be worse off than I thought.

Are the Cardinals a substantially more talented team than the remade Panthers? I doubt it. The Browns, Bengals, Vikes, and Redskins all royally stink though, no denying that.
