Considering there are four divisions in each conference, your predictions suck ass.

 

[mooglemania85]

You're missing 1 division in each conference, and completely fubared which teams play in the NFC North.

Sorry, its fixed now. Had pieces of paper everywhere and musta missed some stuff.

Edit: FWIW I am a Jax Jags fan living in NY. None of those teams (JAX, Jets, Giants) will make the playoffs.

 

[mooglemania85]

I originally didn't see the steelers winning 10 games. But after considering Cleveland twice, Miami, Buffalo, Arizona, Jacksonville, and a split with Baltimore and the Bengals, yeah, perhaps it is possible (even with Worthlessburger at QB). I think the Ravens sweep PIT, though, and finish better than 7-9. Any members on the Bengals D still in jail? That's pretty high to have them at 12-4.

STL over NO in the playoffs? I think NO makes it to the SB this year. NO vs. PHI in the conference championship maybe? Philly has plenty of experience losing the NFC championship game

Also think NE gets a bye in the playoffs, and you're too optimistic about GB and Minnesota.

I absolutely HATE the steelers but looking at their schedule I had to give them 10 wins and a playoff spot. With my predictions SD and CIN would get the 1st round byes while NE and IND host the divisional games.

I like NO but I think they may not be as good as last year....didnt have any expectations last year. Payton is a good coach and Bush should be the real deal this year. I just have a feeling about STL. Bulger is going to have a big year along with Jackson.

I hear ya with MIN/GB but I have a couple players on my fantasy team so I hope they do well.

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

Just FYI... as with most predictions like this... your win totals don't add up.

There are a total of 256 wins possible in an NFL season. You only have 254 wins in your predictions. Closer than the other guy who tried the same thing... but still off. And there is no way that the NFC North is going to finish as that much of a cluster. Detroit will score 400 points and finish 7-9. Typical Mike Martz project. (Yes I know he's not the head coach) How's that for a prediction?

Hey, we got similar picks. You like Philly a little more then me while I like Detroit. Sure, they are a disaster but atleast Mrs. Doubtfire isnt the head coach!

Edit: I fixed a couple things so it adds up to 256 now.

 

[Deeko]

Sorry, I don't post predictions. There's so much shame if they don't come true! I couldn't bear that.

you've got pretty good picks though.

 

[krunchykrome]

hahahaha noob, it's obvious you know nothing about football

 

[Deeko]

I had a feeling a Ravens fan would come in here and rip on him.

Public Service Announcement:
If someone doesn't think you're favorite team is going to be good, that does not mean they "know nothing about the sport". Every year a team that's supposed to be good, ends up bad. This guy thinks that it would be the Ravens. Deal with it.

Carry on.

Seriously, it's not that I can't accept another person's opinion about my team, but this guys predictions are ridiculous.

How can we go from having the best defense in the league and a record of 13-3 to a poor 9-7?

 

[ThePresence]

I'm happy there are no expectations for the Giants.
They may actually play well.

The Ravens are one McNair injury away from 9-7 or worse. The offense was only 17th last year even with McNair, so imagine if Boller has to come back in. They'll be watching the playoffs from home.

Well, rumors have them signing Byron Leftwich shortly, if they haven't already.

Thats what everyone said last year, and he was fine. Our offense might not have been impressive, but our defense held teams by their balls.

That would be a really stupid move for the Ravens. McNair is a good starter, but he has a couple years left. Boller is not a starter, but he is a great backup. Im hoping the Ravens will groom Troy Smith into a potential starter within 3 years. Byron Leftwich is not a good starter, but he would make an excellent backup. We definetly have no use for him.

The Ravens have no use for an excellent backup?

 

[Deeko]

Cut Boller, sign Leftwich, keep Smith. With an injury-prone starter (even if he didn't get hurt last year, come on, he gets hurt all the time), having Leftwich would be a great insurance policy. I think he could start for a lot of teams out there.

Not with who they have, and the price Byron will command

 

[Darwin333]

I don't understand why so many people think that NO won't do AT LEAST as well as they did last year. I know preseason doesn't "count" but have any of you actually watched the Saint's starters play this year? The D is showing a marked improvement. Nothing huge but a definite improvement over last year. As far as the offense, just look at the numbers Brees has put up so far. Not to mention that Reggie is playing better and Deuce is healthy.

 

[Deeko]

Don't bother looking at numbers. Preseason doesn't just not count, it doesn't matter, at all. Both defenses and offenses use bland, vanilla shells of themselves. You aren't always playing ALL first team vs ALL second team. It goes on...don't bother looking at the preseason to determine how a starter will play.

As for why people doubt the Saints (I believe I had them at 10-6 and a wildcard), well, they aren't proven. They were a rags-to-riches team last year, and you never know if that will stick or not. Plus, the defense is still a HUGE concern. Adding a cornerback from a team not exactly known for its defense, and a cast-off linebacker that underperformed for years at his last stop, does not fix your problems.

They are likely to be a good team, I just personally don't think they'll be a great team. Not yet anyway.

Boller is an excellent backup and he knows the system well. We have no need for another backup.

We've got our starter, we've got our backup, and we've got a guy who we'd like to groom.

What we should be looking for is a young guy who will be ready to start within a few years.

 

[paulxcook]

McNair isn't at his best, but he's better than Gary Colem- er- Byron Leftwich. Also, the Ravens O improved when Billick took over calling the plays. The Ratbirds won't go 7-9. And the Bengals D still isn't strong enough to earn 12 wins.

The NFC North is crap, no way they all finish with winning records like that. Detroit wont' get anywhere near the 10 wins Kitna promised. Their defense sucks. GB offense still sucks. The Vikings can't cover anyone and their offense isn't close to being fully developed.

The Colts will win more than 10 games: possibly even 14, but I'm guessing more like 12. JAX cupcake schedule means they should win 8 or so, I agree (unfortunately).

I really don't see the Jets winning 9, and the Pats will likely win 12, possibly 13 if they can hang tough in Balitmore. I'd give Buffalo 1 more win than you gave them.

San Diego should have a lot of wins this year, but I doubt they'll pull it together in the playoffs. They lost their HC, DC, and OC. And their new HC is named Norv Turner. You'd think that as good of a talent scout as their GM is, they'd have known to either stick with Schotenheimer another year, or at least not hire Norv Turner. I really don't know what to expect from Denver. Everyone was so high on them early last season, but they just fizzled, have they really made the right changes this offseason? Also, I think you're giving KC too much credit. Huard is a great backup, but won't have the same magic as last year. Johnson will be tired from his 416 carries (I think it was 416) last season. Gonzalez can only catch so many 5 and 8 yard dump-off passes. I'm guessing 4 wins for KC this year, maybe 5.

I like that you're high on STL, they should be better this year. But I think you're underestimating the Cardinals (yes, the Cardinals). Their O line will be stronger, which means James will have more yards, which will open up the passing game for Leinart to throw out to Fitzgerald and Boldin. Defensively, well, I know very little about them, but their O should be strong enough for at least 8 wins. I'd guess 9.

Edited for posterity.
