Ugh - I meant to put someone in besides New Orleans.
I originally had New Orleans vs. Jacksonville and deleted the wrong team. Fixed.
Cruiser, you are a Boston homer to a fault (yeah, yeah, i know - you’re a bigger Minny fan). That said, overall, i think your picks/predictions are more on-target than the Scooter’s (tho we’re all pretty close):
AFC East:
New England (12-4), Buffalo (7-9), New York Jets (6-10), Miami (4-12)
AFC North:
Pittsburgh (10-6), Cleveland (7-9), Cincinatti (6-10), Baltimore (2-14)
AFC South:
Jacksonville (11-5), Indianapolis (11-5), Houston (8-8), Tennesee (5-11)
AFC West:
San Diego (12-4)*, Denver (7-9), Oakland (5-11), Kansas City (3-13)
[*I don't think SD is this good, but this division SUCKS]
AFC Wild-cards: Indy, and…??? I’m gonna go REALLY wild and pick Houston, at 8-8. Is this the year the AFC becomes the NFC, and an 8-8 or 7-9 team gets in??
Buffalo, the Jets and Cleveland all have a shot IMO, in descending order. I just don’t like Tennessee.
NFC East:
Dallas (13-3), New York Giants (10-6), Philadelphia (9-7), Washington (5-11)
NFC North:
Minnesota (10-6), Green Bay (9-7), Detroit (6-10), Chicago (3-13)
NFC South:
New Orleans (12-4), Carolina (8-8), Tampa Bay (8-8), Atlanta (3-13)
NFC West:
Seattle (10-6), Arizona (7-9), St. Louis (6-10), San Francisco (4-12)
NFC Wild-cards: NY Giants & Philly. Green Bay or Carolina could sneak in, if recent injury woes plague the NFC East. NFC and AFC truly flip-flop, as the NFC is now the top-heavy conference!
Super Bowl:
Dallas vs. New England
[I can't help put the Pats here, but I think the playoffs on both sides will be a close, wild ride this year]
Winner: Cowboys [ouch. that pained me to write]
Co-MVPs: Tony Romo & Adrian Peterson (Min)
Offensive ROY: Kevin Smith, Producer, NJ
