With the kickoff to the NFL season starting Thursday night with a stellar match between the Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts playing host to the New Orleans Saints I was wondering what your predictions will be for the upcoming season.
AFC East Winner: New England
AFC North Winner: Pittsburgh
AFC West Winner: San Diego
AFC South Winner: Indianapolis
AFC Wild Cards: Denver, Cincinnati
While many aren't picking them to do so, and as much as pains me to say it, I think that the Steelers are the best team in the AFC North despite all of the hype that Baltimore is getting. The only notable loss from the team is Mr. Chin (Cowher). Joey Porter was addition by subtraction, he's on the decline and was a bit overrated anyway.
NFC North: Chicago
NFC East: Philadelphia
NFC South: New Orleans
NFC West: St. Louis
NFC Wild Cards: Dallas, Seattle
AFC Championship Game: New England vs. Denver
NFC Championship Game: Philadelphia vs. New Orleans
Super Bowl: New England vs. Philadelphia
Winner: Philadelphia
Team that could surprise: Buffalo. If the young defense can gel in a hurry then this team could challenge for the playoffs.
Team that could disappoint: San Francisco. They have been receiving a lot of hype heading into the season but I think they are a year away from being in the playoffs.
