After watching Dallas beat the Saints Saturday and then having Minnesota get drubbed by Carolina I am not sure who the team to beat is in the NFC. I thought it was New Orleans until i watched them lose at home to Dallas. I didn’t see that one coming. In their other games that were deemed tough the Saints came out and dominated play but this one was different. They didn’t control the ball and it haunted them.

In Carolina last night, the Panthers just worked the Vikings with a backup quarterback. Favre is doing his typical late season slide and the Vikings look human. The loss of EJ, the middle linebacker, has really hurt this team emotionally and they just aren’t the same defense without him. How will they react?

Right now you would have to say that Philadelphia might be the best team in the NFC. They are playing very well right now and Westbrook hasn’t even been out there. DeSean Jackson is looking like the best deep threat the game has seen since Randy Moss and he’s a threat to score every time he gets the ball. If the Eagles get a shot to play New Orleans in the playoffs I would take the Eagles at this stage of the season.

Tomorrow it could change but this one is a tough one to call.
