(Gibson) With former Pantera and current Down singer Phil Anselmo boldly making his predictions for the upcoming NFL season, surely we should be prepared for a season of Cowboys from Hell. Ah, but the tattooed singer and die-hard New Orleans Saints fan could hardly choose any NFC contender other than his own when he sat down with Noisecreep.

"The Saints are having a massive insanely intense awesome training camp right now," said Anselmo. "So it's tough not to talk about them. They are relatively healthy, have a lot of depth at every position -- except at QB, but we have [Drew] Brees. But if Brees goes down, the ship sinks. Reggie [Bush] is completely healthy, and he will have his breakout season. Pierre Thomas can run the ball and is an awesome talent."

He continued, "I still say it's going to be a tough year, but this is a Saints team that is hard to beat. Our wide receivers are great. Our running game is insane. The (offensive line) is All Pro, and the defense is young and vicious."

Tipping the Super Bowl champs might not be much of a stretch, but Anselmo chose to go a little more Dark Horse for his AFC team - more on this story
