In the first post, I'll review. In the second post, I'll make new predictions and post this weeks matchups. Disregard slight inconsistencies, point out large ones.
I'll post a few predictions for the upcoming season.
NFC East: Dallas WRONG
NFC North: Minnesota PROBABLY WRONG
NFC South: New Orleans WRONG
NFC West: Arizona CORRECT
Wild Cards: Philadelphia and New York Giants POSSIBLY HALF CORRECT
AFC East: New England POSSIBLY CORRECT

Super Bowl: San Diego Chargers vs Dallas Cowboys PROBABLY WRONG
Superbowl Champ: Undecided...Stealing your layout because I'm lazy.
NFC East: Dallas WRONG
NFC North: Minnesota - I still want to see Favre go here for some reason. Him with Adrian Peterson in the backfield? Yes please. PROBABLY WRONG
NFC South: New Orleans - Shockey addition will help more than hinder, and he gets along with the Sean Patyon, so that'll help. WRONG
NFC West: Seattle WRONG
Wild Cards: Washington and Tampa Bay POSSIBLY CORRECT
AFC East: New England - Need I say anything? POSSIBLY CORRECT
AFC North: Pittsburgh CORRECT
AFC South: Indianapolis WRONG
AFC West: San Diego PROBABLY WRONG
Wild Cards: Jacksonville and Denver WRONG
Brett Favre will be wearing a....Tampa Bay jersey. WRONG
RoTY - Darren McFadden WRONG
MVP: Adrian Peterson PROBABLY WRONG
Best Record: New England WRONG
Not picking the Super Bowl yet. D:
Our AFC is pretty much the same.NFC East: Dallas
NFC North: Minnesota WRONG
NFC South: New Orleans WRONG
NFC West: Seattle WRONG
Wild Cards: Philadelphia and Green Bay POSSIBILITY
AFC East: New England POSSIBLE
AFC North: Cleveland (I gotta go for my team) WRONG
AFC South: Indianapolis WRONG
AFC West: San Diego WRONG
Wild Cards: Jacksonville and Pittsburg WRONG
Brett Favre will be... mowing his lawn in Mississippi (He'll be in Tampa) WRONG
Rookie of the year: Vernon Gholston WRONG
MVP: Peyton Manning WRONG
Best Record: Dallas (Only because Indy shuts it down after week 15) WRONG
Super Bowl: Indy vs Dallas POSSIBLE I GUESS
Superbowl Champ: Indy PLAUSIBLE, NOT PROBABLE
Yeah, I'm not really going out on too many limbs here...My prediction is Mcnabb stays healthy this year and shuts up some of the critics. Please?

EAGLES!
But even so, Dallas is winning the NFC east.
NFC East: Dallas WRONG
NFC North: Green Bay, unless Minnesota gets Favre. POSSIBLE
NFC South: New Orleans WRONG
NFC West: Seattle WRONG
Wild Cards: Philadelphia and Tampa Bay (or Green Bay if they dont win the north) POSSIBLE
AFC East: New England POSSIBLE
AFC North: Pittsburgh CORRECT
AFC South: Indianapolis WRONG
AFC West: San Diego WRONG
Wild Cards: Cleveland and Denver. WRONG
Brett Favre will be... throwing more INTs than TDs. CLOSE TO CORRECT
Rookie of the year: Run DMC HUH!?! WRONG
MVP: Even though Manning or Brady will probably win in my opinion, picking them is not exciting. How about some Ben Roethlesberger (sp) action? I would pick LT (not really a shocking candidate either) but havent heard much about him since the injury. WRONG
Best Record: New England WRONG
Super Bowl: Not picking, but...
Superbowl Champ: Philadelphia, because I am a sucker for punishment, and will probably start drinking heavily by week 9. DOUBTFUL
Edit: Adding 2 new categories since it happens every year:
Team that fails to live up to last year: NY Giants. Post-Super Bowl woes, every team will be gunning for them etc. HOLY SHIT WRONG
Team that comes out of nowhere: St. Louis. Weak division, if they stay injury free they can compete with the Seahawks. HOLY SHIT WRONG
Edit2: That NFL "migration" commercial just came on. Easily one of the best football commercials. Gets me so damned pumped for football season.Philadelphia is absolutely making the playoffs this year. They should have made it last year. If they bring a punt returner to Green Bay, they beat the Packers week 1. If they stop that last pass in Philadelphia, they beat Chicago. At 10-6 they make the playoffs. Instead they came in last in their division and were better than their 8-8 record would suggest. They go into this season with McNabb focusing on playing rather than rehab, a stronger offense, a stronger defense.
Cleveland is also going to end their playoff drought behind a sickening offense (as long as they don't do anything stupid like bench Derek Anderson for Brady Quinn). Jurevicious, Edwards, Stallworth, Josh Cribbs, Kellen Winslow. Shit, if my Eagles had half as much talent we'd be a dynasty.
Last year when I started working at NFL Films they made me pick who would win the super bowl. I came close picking the Patriots.
Dallas wins the east. WRONG
Seattle wins the west. WRONG
Vikings win the north. POSSIBLE
Tampa Bay wins the south. POSSIBLE
Philadelphia and Green Bay wild card. POSSIBLE
Patriots in the east. POSSIBLE
Chargers in the west. WRONG
Steelers in the north. CORRECT
Colts in the south. WRONG
Browns and Jaguars make the wild card. WRONG
No clue after that. :DNFC East: Philadelphia WRONG
NFC North: Green Bay POSSIBLE
NFC South: Tampa Bay POSSIBLE
NFC West: Seattle WRONG
Wild Cards: Dallas and New York Giants HALF-POSSIBLE
AFC East: New England POSSIBLE
AFC North: Pittsburgh CORRECT
AFC South: Indianapolis WRONG
AFC West: San Diego VERY UNLIKELY
Wild Cards: Cleveland and Denver. PROBABLY COMPLETELY WRONG
Super Bowl: Philadelphia vs Pittsburgh POSSIBLE, NOT PROBABLEI threw a few bold ones in there mainly because I didn't want to have the same list as everyone else.
NFC East: Dallas WRONG
NFC North: Minnesota POSSIBLE
NFC South: Tampa Bay POSSIBLE
NFC West: Seattle WRONG
Wild Cards: New York / Carolina POSSIBLY HALF CORRECT
AFC East: New England WRONG
AFC North: Cleveland WRONG
AFC South: Indianapolis WRONG
AFC West: San Diego WRONG
Wild Cards: Jacksonville and Pittsburgh WRONG
Brett Favre will cause enough distractions to make Green Bay have a losing season WRONG
Biggest Bust: Peyton Manning --- I'm very worried he could end up not being 100% by the start of the season and end up having a subpar season for his standards. It could be me just being paranoid, but I figured I'd put some bold ones. EH, IT'S A TOUGH ARGUMENT TO AGREE, I'D SAY THIS IS INCORRECT
Rookie of the year: Darren McFadden WRONG
MVP: Tom Brady WRONG
Best Record: New England @ 12-4 (lots of parity) WRONG
Super Bowl: New England vs. Seattle WRONG
Superbowl Champ: New England wins the year after their best team got upset (similar to the Colts a few years back) WRONG
Might as well throw my predictions into the ring.
NFC East: Dallas WRONG
NFC North: Minnesota POSSIBLE
NFC South: Carolina POSSIBLE
NFC West: Arizona CORRECT
Wild Cards: Philadelphia & Tampa Bay VERY POSSIBLE
AFC East: New England POSSIBLE
AFC North: Cleveland WRONG
AFC South: Indianapolis WRONG
AFC West: San Diego VERY UNLIKELY
Wild Cards: Pittsburgh & Jacksonville WRONG
Edit: Wrong looks really weird when you type it a hundred times.First of all, I'm really having a hard time stomaching all this Dallas love. They're the NFL's version of the Yankees. Only you can't buy championships if your team isn't anchored by good role players and a star who isn't a choke artist. LOOKING AT YOU TONY HOMO.
That said, they're still winning the NFC East cause they matchup well against the Giants and they'll probably end up with the tie breaker.
NFC East: Dallas WRONG
NFC North: Green Bay POSSIBLE
NFC South: New Orleans WRONG
NFC West: Arizona CORRECT
Wild Cards: Minnesota and New York Giants DOUBTFUL
AFC East: New England POSSIBLE
AFC North: Pittsburgh CORRECT
AFC South: Jacksonville WRONG
AFC West: San Diego VERY UNLIKELY
Wild Cards: Indy and Cleveland PROBABLY HALF CORRECT
Brett Favre will be wearing a....J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS Jersey. This is a team without any real direction. They traded their best defensive player for jack and shit. THEN drafted the most overrated player in the 1st round. Gholston's an impending bust. They'll HAVE to trade for Brett if they intend on doing anything this season. They spent a lot of money on the O-Line, what good is it if Chad Pennington rarely throws downfield? CORRECT
Biggest Bust: Hard to call because we don't know who'll get injured. If I had to pick now? McNabb ;;, he's already dinged up. WRONG
Rookie of the year: Oh god Tyche gtfo with that Gholston crap. DE's rarely win RoY. If I had to put my money on anybody it'd be Kevin Smith from UCF. HALF CORRECT
MVP: Could be anyone. Preseason guess is Drew Brees. POSSIBLE
Best Record: Patriots/Chargers, Who's going to beat them? >>>THE FUCKING MIAMI DOLPHINS, THAT'S WHO!<<<
Super Bowl: San Diego Chargers vs New Orleans Saints WRONG
Superbowl Champ: Defense wins championships, so Chargers. HIGHLY UNLIKELY
