NFC South has 3 very balanced and sim style teams! Tough division for online franchise mode.

New Orleans Saints: 92

- The Super Bowl champs, has a nice ring to it doesn�t it? If you�re a Saints fan then yes it does. However I fully expect the same bugaboo to plague the Saints once again in Madden 2011. No one can deny the explosiveness of Bush, Henderson, Meachem, Shockey, and Colston. It is far and beyond the best offense in the game but, there are real question marks on the defensive side of the ball. There secondary and linebackers are slow which will limit your ability to play man to man defensive. In return it forces less man to man bump n� run blitzing schemes which only makes your defense more predictable. If you can score every time then the Saints are your number one option.

Atlanta Falcons: 83
- The Atlanta Falcons where a big time sleeper team in the beginning of last season. They had a solid QB and some big targets to hit in the open field. In the backfield they had one of the most reliable options in the game as well as a big threat running back. In 2011 you can expect all those same things as the core nucleus of this team as stuck together. You might expect more of a progression from one season to the next but unfortunately don�t expect a much different team from last year. Major question marks are up and down the Falcons defense. Outside of league play the Falcons simply won�t have the fire power to compete on either side of the ball.
Carolina Panthers: 75

Careful, these kittys got claws!

- If you make the commitment to yourself today that throughout the Madden 2011 season you are going to have a run heavy offense then the Panthers NEED to be your team. Deangelo Williams and Jonathon Stewart is the best backfield in the game, end of story. This two headed monster will be able to control the clock and move the chains. Mix in a few creative plays to get Steve Smith into openfield and you might be able to make this offense tick. On defense the loss of Julius Peppers certainly hurts but the loss of Peppers won�t hurt you as bad as you might think. Look to fill that position with a athletic linebacker and your problem should be addressed.

Tampa Bay Bucs: 69
- The Bucs have two dominant players on the offensive side of the ball. Unfortunately they both play QB. Josh Johnson will make more plays with his feet then arm and Josh Freeman will be a mix of both. The problem is how can you have a functional offense when you two best players can�t be on the field at the same time? Big question makes surround this team and I wouldn�t expect many bright sports from this team in Madden 11
