The NFC this season is the weakest it has been in a long time, which is why I believe a super bowl berth will come out of the NFC West for the third straight season.
Starting with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a team led by a quarterback I said would win the Super Bowl before Bill Belichick. I think the Buccaneers have an extremely talented roster but what we know about the NFL is that it is a league of continuity. The Buccaneers may have added too many big names in the offseason, meaning it will be difficult to blend them all-in come playoffs, especially with no preseason games.
You also have the New Orleans Saints. But Drew Brees is a year older, and that can't be good news for a quarterback who faded towards the end of last season. The 49ers could return but they may have the worst quarterback in their division.
For the Seahawks, last season was a mixed bag. They won 11 games but losing in the Divisional Round was a disappointing end to the season. They also struggled at home with four of their five losses coming at home.
