Today's AJC featured a little missive from yours truly regarding  the growth rate of the Atlanta Falcons , who are -- fess-up time -- surprising the heck out of me . I figured they'd go 7-9 or thereabouts. They're 7-4 with three home games remaining. They'll have to mess up royally to miss the playoffs.

In that same little missive, I stated my belief that the Falcons would win the NFC South and be a tough out come the playoffs. (Sunday's comprehensive victory over Arizona went a ways toward deepening my belief .) For today's exercise, I'm asking what y'all think. Vote early and often. Thanks in advance.
