As a Chiefs fan, you are overrating them at 6-10. We'll be gunning for the overall #1 pick at the end of the season.

 

[mj4cy]

Haha, I have them beating

Oakland, @Atlanta, Tennessee, Buffalo, @Cincinnati, Miami

 

[Bubbahotep]

I don't think Dr. Z has anything to worry about, Dallas 13-3, right! And New England will definitely be down this year, 12-4 is about the best they will do. Even though I don't like the Rams, they will finish 9-7.

 

[mplscyclone]

Why do you call them unofficial? If they're your best picks, then roll with them!

 

[ISUFan22]

Even ignoring the Dallas pick, I think you've put together a solid prediction.

I don't think the entire AFC south can be at or above .500. Has that ever happened before? It's a very good division, perhaps the toughest in the league (NFC East is either the toughest or a close 2nd). But someone's gotta be below .500, IMO. Just how it works.

I like the Arizona pick. I'm still not liking the Seahawks (sorry Seneca) and it's time someone else won, or at least challenged for that division.

I think the Bears finish last in that division, by a game or two.

Good pick with the Saints. It's hurricane time again in New Orleans - a sign they'll be better.

 

[mj4cy]

Haha yeah, I picked what I thought should be their record, not necessarily true if I did the Ws and Ls. I picked Dallas, because I have Barber and Witten on my fantasy team

True. I doubt I'll change them before thursday night, so they really are my official ones.

I think they did it last year....

Correct you are. As did the NFC East.

 

[mj4cy]

Going back to this...for those that care, I put my comments in parenthesis.

I picked the order of the AFC west pretty wall, but was bad mostly on all the others. I picked a few of the playoff teams correct, but was way off on the superbowl.

Nothing too bold, but here is my predictions


AFC EAST:

New England 14-2 (Brady getting hurt killed this)
New York Jets 7-9
Buffalo 7-9 (not too far off)
Miami 4-12 (Horrible pick)

AFC NORTH:

Pittsburgh 10-6
Cleveland 8-8
Cincinnati 5-11
Baltimore 3-13 (terrible pick)

AFC SOUTH:

Indianapolis 12-4 (dead on)
Jacksonville 10-6
Tennessee 9-7
Houston 8-8

AFC WEST:

San Diego 12-4
Denver 8-8
Oakland 6-10
Kansas City 6-10 (too nice on the chiefs)

NFC EAST:

Dallas 13-3
Philly 11-5
New York Giants 9-7
Washington 7-9

NFC NORTH:

Minnesota 11-5
Green Bay 8-8
Chicago 5-11
Detriot 5-11 (Wow.....)

NFC SOUTH:

New Orleans 10-6
Tampa Bay 9-7
Carolina 7-9
Atlanta 3-13 (bad job outta me)

NFC WEST:

Arizona 8-8
Seattle 8-8
San Fran. 7-9
St. Louis 6-10


Wild Card:

AFC:
Jax over Pitt
Indy over Tenn

NFC:
New Orleans over Tampa

I know things change dramatically in the offseason in terms of rosters and stuff. I read that the Steelers (who had a very tough schedule last year) have the second EASIEST schedule in 2009 (based on records of 2008). Guess it has something to do with Cleveland and Cincinatti in their division but are also playing the NFC North and AFC West.

The Super Bowl champs get the second easiest schedule...as Steeler fan I am not complaining at all!

 

[LeBron]

Dallas won't win a super bowl with tony romo and wade phillips

 

[ICCYFAN]

I'm a life-long Packer fan and can't help being biased, but I see them at better than 8-8. They've been the youngest team in the NFL three seasons in a row, which partially accounts for how many close contests they lost at the end of games. A brilliant defensive mind like Dom Capers will have to improve the defense, and the offense is already capable. I see the Packers qualifying for the playoffs at 10-6 or better. JMHO!

The predictions were from last year, so I definitely see an improvement, especially after we sign Peppers.

 

[mj4cy]

Those predictions were for the 2008 season
not next year.

Many apologies - I didn't look at the date stamp! Even so, I would've said much the same, less the Dom Capers angle! :sad:

Or Suggs.

I don't think you should feel too bad about the Falcons and Dolphins gaffes - NOBODY, including the fans of either team, saw those kinds of seasons coming.
