Way too early NFC picture

Week 1 is not over and obviously a lot can change, but watching the games NFC so far I get the following picture:

Eagles - offensive was better than I expected coming out the gate, but lots of turnovers and pass defense was suspect. 2 team race for Division.

Lions team looked solid, but allowed a Rams team with serious OL and WR issues to hang around. Should be a competitive team though.

Packers will be without JL for a bit, so likely have to play from behind in the W/L race. My belief is they'll be a WC team, but we'll see.

Bucs destroyed Washington and Mayfield looked very comfortable. Could be a sleeper team.

Rams - Stafford looked good despite protection issues, but I don't think they have the defense to keep up & look to have the injury bug early.

Will see what the 49ers look like tonight, but expect them to be the favorite for the conference.

I don't see anyone else as a threat right now.

Was the 7 seed viewed as a threat last year?

We will find out about the Saints this week. They did drop a 40 burger on an NFL team yesterday and their D is legit. I would also say Atl will be in the mix for that division. I know they looked like crap yesterday, but once Cousins gets more comfortable coming back from that injury, they have some pieces on that team to be dangerous.
