It’s the time again! The 2012 NFL preseason is in full swing, with the regular season right around the corner. Per usual, let me try my hand at predicting the NFC division and wildcard winners.

NFC East

1. New York Giants(12-4)

2. Philadelphia Eagles(10-6)
3. Dallas Cowboys(8-8)
4. Washington Redskins(6-10)

Even with the loss of Mario Manningham, Eli Manning and the Giants should follow up their Super Bowl victory with a division title.

NFC North
1. Green Bay Packers(13-3)

2. Detroit Lions(11-5)
3. Chicago Bears(8-8)
4. Minnesota Vikings(5-11)

The NFC North still belongs to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers but Calvin Johnson and the Detroit Lions aren’t too far behind.

NFC South
1. New Orleans Saints(10-6)

2. Atlanta Falcons(9-7)
3. Carolina Panthers(7-9)
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers(4-12)

Even with all the distractions I expect the Saints to beat out the Atlanta Falcons for the lone playoff spot from the division.

NFC West
1. San Francisco 49ers(11-5)

2. Arizona Cardinals(9-7)
3. Seattle Seahwaks(6-10)
4. St. Louis Rams(3-13)

Will be hard to repeat the season they had last year, but the Niners should easily claim the division.

Wildcards

Detroit Lions(11-5)

Philadelphia Eagles(10-6)
