5. New Orleans Saints (5-2)
The Saints sure know how to win in style, but have they got the confidence to win with guile? Sometimes with an offence so finely tuned, the slightest hiccough can blow a game plan to pieces. The defence will have to be strong in the coming weeks to secure the NFC South title, for which they are still favourites, but constantly harassed by the teams so close behind them.
Brees is on pace to finish in the top three passers again, and is essential to his team’s continued success. If he stays healthy, which he should given his reputation for toughness, the Saints could figure in the postseason picture in a big way.
6. San Francisco 49ers (5-1)
The dark horse of the season have impressed through their first 6 games. Forced to sit out this week due to a BYE has probably irked Coach Harbaugh given his team’s amazing run of form, but he is a smart enough HC to prep his units well for their next challenge. Look to the 49ers to continue their run of success and lock-up the NFC West before any other team has assured top spot in their division.
