My humble NFL predictions

*Note - my predictions were done before the games began this weekend but sadly lots of Hendricks and several bar stools caused a delay in posting

NFC South

1. New Orleans Saints - Drew Brees . Enough said.
2. Atlanta Falsons - Matt Ryan needs to take the next step.
3. Carolina Panthers- The team is in rapid decline.
4. Tampa Bay Bucs - Piss poor rebuilding effort. Morris could be the first coach fired.

NFC East

1. Dallas Cowboys - Dez Bryant will be the difference
2. New York Giants - Treading water. Heading for a decline
3. Washington Redskins - Lack playmakers. Worst wide-outs in the league
4. Philly Eagles - The birds will miss McNabb.

NFC North

Green Bay Packers - Will win but Vikes will make a run.
MN Vikings - Brett has another run in him
Detroit Lions - Look for improvement from Stafford. No playoffs but improvement
Chicago Bears - Lovie is on the hot seat. Piss poor wideouts, injury prone defense

NFC West

San Franciso 49ers - It's sink or swim time for Mike Singletary and Alex Smith
Seatle Seahawks - Still have talent but Hasslebach should be announcing games not playing in them.
St Louis Rams - Jackson is a stud plus Bradford brings hope.
Arizona Cardinals - Lost without Warner. They are who we thought they were - last place!


AFC East
NY Jets - Rex and his swagger brings it home
New England Patriots - The O is there but will they stop enough folks?
Miami Dolphins - Not enough players. No defensive difference-makers
Buffalo Bills - Worst team in the league. 2 wins probably.

AFC North
Baltimore Ravens - Built to win now. Its all on Flacco.
Pittsburg Steelers - Can make a run if they can hold on until Big Ben comes back.
Cincinnati Bengals - Really good team, just in the wrong division. Could win 10 and still be in 3rd place.
Cleveland Browns - They return kicks well so at least they compete in one phase of the game.

AFC South

Houston Texans - If they don't win this year, they never will.
IN Colts - The streak of winning 12 games a year ends this year.
TN Titans - I like Vince, I like Johnson but they are missing something. Will have a winning season though.
Jacksonville Jags - Why does Jacksonville even have a Team? MJD rocks in fantasy though.

AFC West

San Diego Chargers - They win by default. This team has missed their window of opportunity
Kansas City Chiefs - They will improve but still not a play-off team.
Oakland Raiders - Improvement but not back yet. I like Campbell but this team under-achieves too much.
Denver Broncos - Eh. Long season in the Rockies.

The Final Four:

Ravens & Jets in AFC

Saints & Cowboys in NFC

Saints defeat Jets in Superbowl.
