JV Sports:
Dallas Cowboys- 11-5 Stacked squad coming off a great 2007-2008 campaign. Look for this squad to blow at least 2 winable games in the regular season and lose in the playoffs due to a Tony Romo Slipup
Buffalo Bills- 5-11 Just when things look like they can't get worse for this listless franchise, rumors emerge that have them moving to Canada in the next few years. Nothing spells football disaster quite like C-A-N-A-D-I-A.
New York Giants- 7-9 If it wasn't for Trent Dilfer, Eli Manning would easily be the worst QB ever to win a superbowl. This team got hot at exactly the right time last year but look for them to have a mighty hangover this year with the loss of Strahan and the realization that they don't have a quality running back on their roster.
Miami Dolphins - 4-12Let me get this strait, the worst team in the league dealt the best player on its roster for draft picks and now they want to rely on serial bong-hitter Sticky Icky Ricky to get their ground game back?
Riiiiight.
Philadelphia Eagles- 6-10 Although this team has a solid defense and an incredible running back in Brian Westbrook, I can't picture Donovan McNabb lasting an entire season. Look for Kevin Kolb to be the starter by Week 14.
Then look for Kevin Kolb seeking employment by 2011.
New England Patriots- 18-1
Sike.
13-3 Even without the story book ending last season re-wrote the history books. The pats remain the best team in the NFL on paper.
Washington Redskins- 10-6 There are a lot of questions on this team. Will Jason Campbell become a true Franchise QB? Will their lack of depth hurt them again? Can their aging offensive line stay healthy? Will Colt Brennan do something kerr-azy with his hair?
Best Case scenario: Super Bowl Champions
Worst Case scenario: Last years Dolphins
New York Jets - 9-7 Good Coach. Good Receivers. Solid Defense. If this club could get a decent QB behind center [AHEM]they could sneak into the playoffs. However, don't expect them to one up their components in the Meadowlands. The AFC is simply too tough.
Arizona Cardinals- 8-8 Leinart looks significantly more comfortable in hot tubs or holding beer bongs than he does in the NFL. This could be the last year before the Cards' have to start searching for another franchise QB.
Denver Broncos - 8-8 Once again Shanahan has a stable of undersized running backs that will probably rush for over 1400 yards (combined) this year. If Cutler can make the leap this squad could be dangerous.
San Francisco 49ers - 7-9 It pains me to say this but Vernon Davis is poised for another terrible year. The new offense will not suit this man-beast and the 'niners may have to go back to the drawing board if Alex Smith doesn't step up his game.
Kansas City Chiefs - 8-8 How far can Larry Johnson take this team? I wouldn't be surprised to see Tony Gonzalez or LJ traded this year.
Seattle Seahawks- 11-5 Not a flashy squad but they get the job done. They need an answer at running back but everywhere else this team is very solid.
Oakland Raiders - 6-10 Former Raider Stuart Schweigart recently mentioned on a talk show that Al Davis has been coaching the team by proxy.
Not good.
This team may have a juggernaut offense in 2010 if Jamarcus and Darren McFadden get on the same page. The Raiders will miss the playoffs but most likely will show some signs of life.
St. Louis Rams- 8-8 Injuries killed this squad last year. However, look for the Rams offense to return to form now that Al Saunders is back in town.
San Diego Chargers 14-2 L.T., Merriman. Thats all you need to know. In spite of Norv Turner's presence this team could represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.
Chicago Bears- 6-10 It's hard to believe that just three years ago this team was playing in the super bowl. I think that Devin Hester could become a great receiver this year but don't look for this team to make much noise with either Grossman or Orton at QB.
Chicago: Bottoms up!
Baltimore Ravens- 7-9 Solid squad.
No QB.
You know its bad when a team pines for Dilfer...
Detroit Lions- 10-6 Just good enough to break your heart Detroit. Seeing Kitna lose in the first round of the playoffs won't lift anyone's spirits in a town with enough problems as it is .
Cincinnati Bengals- 10-6 Could win a lot of games if Marvin Lewis remembers how to coach defense again.
Green Bay Packers - 9-7 If you think Aaron Rodgers will play like he did in that Cowboys game all year I have some sub-prime backed bonds to sell you.
Cleveland Browns- 7-9 Welcome back to Earth Mr. Anderson, Mr. Lewis.
Minnesota Vikings - With Favre 8-8; Without Favre 8-8
Great Defense. Purple Jesus. But still this team just doesn't have it.
Pittsburgh Steelers- 10-6 Ben gets his groove back.
Atlanta Falcons - 5-11 Matty Ice is not ready yet (ever).
Houston Texans - 9-7 If Someone can score a few TD's this team's Defense could carry them. That Mario Williams over Reggie Kardashian trade looks smarter every year.
Carolina Panthers- 9-7 This division is wide open. If this team can get hot they could easily make the playoffs.
Quick Panthers question: What nick name do you think Chris Berman will use for the panther's first round pick Jon Stewart?
I CAN'T THINK OF ANY POP CULTURE REFERENCE HERE!!!!!
"The shark of snark, the saphire of satire..."
(I wish I was kidding)
Indianapolis Colts - 13-3 One of 2008's biggest underperformers. If Peyton can Sac up (get it?) this team should rebound.
New Orleans Saints - 9-7 How long does the karma of a natural disaster last? This team has done something with nothing for the past few years. Look for Reggie Kardashian to see more time in the slot. If Sean Payton can get this team back on track they could steal the wide open NFC South. (Insert Joke about wide open Kim Kardashian here)
Jacksonville Jaguars 6-10 Ha Ha.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7-9 I'll give them one win per QB on the roster.
Tennessee Titans 6-10 Time to convert Vince Young to WR.
Super Bowl Prediction:
Redskins 24, Colts 17

The end of the NFL season always seems crazy in the preseason. I stand behind these rankings even if I know some will be wrong (always are)
AFC
1.Pats
2.Colts
3.Chargers
4.Steelers
5.Jags
6.Broncos
NFC
1.Dallas
2.Seattle
3.New Orleans
4.Green Bay
5.Philly
6.Minnesota
I knew I'd take a lot of heat for these because there are so many Philly people in the Yard. I'm just sayin', do you honestly believe Philly will be in the playoffs?
Not at all.
This is just my prediction which I know won't be 100% accurate.
there is some good stuff here but those are my main problems, also i like the analysis of the raiders. they have the weakest schedule in the league so that ll help
Good point though
That's some great analysis for your Super Bowl winner. Sounds more like a team that will struggle to make the playoffs in a very difficult division. If you're going to predict they will win the Super Bowl, at least provide some compelling reasons why. I think they're more likely to finish 6-10 than they are to win the Super Bowl, and your breakdown supports that idea also!
Keep in mind that the entire offensive line was hurt last season and the Redskins were playing with Todd f'ing Collins.
I think that Washington had a good draft and managed to fill a need at DE. If Campbell makes the leap they are immediately contenders...
Solid point, but not really what I was going for...
Seriously, Eagles fans, I know I offended you but post your picks like tcbailey24 and we'll compare this like adults.
If you don't have the balls to do that then turn your caps lock off and go on to the next post...
It was sort of funny at first but lets keep the material fresh people.
Well I guess scrap all these picks then...
Clinton Portis, Santana Moss, London Fletcher, Fred Smoot, Randy Thomas, Cornelius Griffin, Marcus Washington, La Coles (traded for Moss),
Do those names sound like failed free agent signings/trades?
o wait i just realized from his profile he's a redskins fan all this makes sense now. enjoy last place, AGAIN!
Dude we were in the playoffs last year.
