5 Surprising predictions

5 Surprising predictions
1. Hatin' on Jets

[Tyche]

Perice is gone, backs are healthy, and they have a really good safety to help that secondary.

[Sepukku]

AFC: Ravens, Dolphins
NFC: Packers, Rams

AFC Title game: Steelers vs. Patriots
NFC Title Game: Vikings vs. Saints
Superbowl Champion: Steelers over the Vikings

Rookie of the year: Sam Bradford
Most Valuable Player: Brett Favre

5 Surprising predictions
1. Rams don't suck. 9-7/10-6 wild card contender, their division is absolutely pathetic.
2. T.O. destroys the Bengals locker room. "Why didn't you retweet my shit Ocho?!"
3. Flying under the radar the past several years, Bellichik and Brady have a monster resurgence.
4. Brett Favre DOESN'T break his hip.
5. Elin falls in love with Bellichick, another serious hypercompetitive control freak who is in love with his job. The two double date with Tom and Giselle up until two days before the AFC championship game when Bellichick wrecks his station wagon and its revealed he was fucking Sasha Grey behind her back and the Patriots consequently lose to the Steelers. Coincidentally, this would not be the first time the Steelers benefit from opposing team relationship issues, as Nick Harper failed to run back Bettis' fumble in the divisional round Colts-Steelers game because his wife stabbed him in the leg the week prior.

I don't know how people are picking the Giants...they've looked so terrible in the trenches...

I felt like I had to pick 2 NFC east teams to make the playoffs, but I don't see NYG winning a lot of the Redskins aren't there..and I predicted the Eagles to crash hard.

[Klutz]

Let's go Pats! I'm surrounded by Redskins fans let's show 'em what we got!

[Quixon]

The Giants are in a rather weak division, and a lot of the trouble they had last year was because they were plagued with injuries. That being said the injury bug is hitting us again this year already as well lol.

Don't know enough about every team to be fagging up the thread with thorough analyses of shit that won't happen but here's some predictions:

Dixon actually does well as a quarterback, Roethlisberger gets sad
Ochocinco suspension
Peyton injury (agreeing with someone else who said it)
Ray Rice MVP
Redskins win at least 7

[Mertron]

The Giants are in a rather weak division

[Melena]

Roger craig had no issues racking up yards with Montana slinging bombs. Not too worried about that. Why again would I want our QB to fail just to make our RB look better again? QB's win superbowls (unless your dilfer on the raven's) RB's only help you get there.

[Headspace]

Goodell's favoritism towards the Steelers continues.

[Gadritan]

Fuck em'. I really don't think they stand a chance to make it to the playoffs this year. Something is just...off with them. Their ones continued to look like crap last night getting handled by CAR's second stringers. Game didn't really break open until it was mix and match twos and threes.

Rookie of the Year - Suh
Most Valuable Player - Ray Rice

5 Surprising predictions
1. Peyton Manning goes down with a 4-6 week injury, misses a game for the first time in his career. Due to this, the Colts miss the playoffs.
2. Both the Lions and the Browns have at least .500 seasons.
3. The Redskins have a losing season, but McNabb will throw for 4000+ yards for the first time in his career and have at least 25 TDs (and <8 INTs).
4. Ray Rice will lead the league in rushing and/or yards from scrimmage.
5. Kolb will have a perfect efficiency rating in one game this year.

Skirk...do you really believe Packers...with that passing attack, will lose to the Ravens in the Super Bowl who are basically starting third stringers and street free agents at corner?
