NFL Predictions
On the verge of the NFL season, I thought it necessary to make some predictions for the season:
AFC Division Winners:
East: New England - staying up there until somebody proves me wrong
North: Pittsburgh - ditto
South: Indianapolis - Peyton will probably throw like 35 one-yard touchdowns this year, but ultimately will be yanking on his chinstraps and throwing his hands up in disbelief as he loses (yet again) to the Pats in the postseason.
West: Kansas City
Wild Cards: New York Jets (cannot get past the Pats, but still a good team) & Jacksonville (bold prediction. Good coach. Good, young QB. Solid defense. Middle of the Road Record. New open-it-up offense.)
Left watching come postseason: San Diego. Last year was a fluke, much like the Bears a few years ago. I think they come back to earth this year with a 9-7 or 8-8 season.
NFC:
East: Philadelphia - they are too much for anyone in the NFC. How can anybody say anything bad about Donovan McNabb? It’s impossible.
North: Minnesota (Much to my chagrin. I would prefer it if I could throw in my Packers here.)
South: Carolina - Injuries last year killed them. John Fox and a healthy backfield will have them bounce Atlanta off their chair.
West: Arizona - they have the best defense in this division. They also have a quarterback good enough to not make mistakes against this watered-down division.
Wild Cards: Atlanta (still good enough to make the postseason) & Green Bay (you cannot keep Brett Favre out of the playoffs.
Left outside looking in: New Orleans (Hurricane Katrina and the traveling will do too much to their psyche) & Seattle (no D kills them).
Playoffs: Nobody beats the Pats in the AFC. The NFC is going to be a little more cloudy. Carolina and Minnesota both have the skill players to make a run at the Eagles. I’m going to have to go with S.I. on this one and pick the Panthers to win the NFC. Every aspect of this team is quality. I think that the Eagles will eventually get hurt by their lack of depth at running back, because Brian Westbrook has to do too much on the team. Although, I reserve the right to change my mind, because Donovan McNabb is rapidly approaching Brett Favre-Joe Montana-John Elway status. (You don’t want to pick against them; no matter where they are playing.)
Ultimatelly, the Panthers will have what it takes to beat the Pats, and the Carolina Blue will hoist the trophy in Detroit. Their previous Super Bowl game against the Pats will help this time around.
There you have it, I’ve outlined the entire season for you. Now there is no reason for you to waste your each and every Sunday sitting in front of the television wasting your day. YEAH RIGHT.
In other news: Damon Jones has signed with Cleveland. I think an I told you so is in order here.
