I thought maybe we could line up predictions and see who does best end of the season.

AFC Division Winners
Pitt, Pats, KC, Indy

Wild Card
Jacksonville, Raiders

AFC Title Game
Indy/KC

NFC Division Winners
Carolina, Vikes, Philly, Arizona

Wild Card
Atlanta, Detroit

NFC Title Game
Vikes/Philly

Super Bowl
Colts over Vikes

If you're right we'll see the highest scoring Super Bowl in history.

I don't think KC has the defense or the staying power to make it to the AFC title game. I think you'll see either Pittsburgh, New England or the Raiders facing Indianapolis.

I like your NFC predictions, but then I'm a Vikes homer. Realistically either Atlanta or Carolina could knock them off.

I like Surtain and the other KC additions to their D. I think Simon will help the Colts D as well and give them the inside presence they need. Unfortunately the Raiders are the ones with the real holes on D. So any predictions?

Okay, my predictions:

AFC division winners: Pittsburgh, New England, Indianapolis, San Diego

Wild cards: Kansas City, Tennessee

AFC Title game: Pittsburgh/Indianapolis

Note: I almost slotted San Diego into the title game. Won't be surprised if it happens.


NFC division winners: Minnesota, Philly, Carolina, St. Louis

Wild cards: Atlanta, Detroit

NFC title game: Minnesota/Philly

Super Bowl: Indianapolis/Minnesota

ummm.... rebellion.... you're in massachusetts. I think we both know who's gonna win this year..... again.....

After 15 years of crappiness for my Steelers, (Okay, it was pretty good, but no Super Bowl trips) the Iron Curtain is back in business. The lack of Ty Law and Tedy Bruschi is what's going to let the Steelers get past the Patriots this year. (And Big Ben's a second year now, no more of those nasty rookie mishaps.)

The only thing standing between Pittsburgh and the Super Bowl this year is the Colts. But when you pit great defense against great offense, I'm putting my money on the defense. (as last year's trouncing of the Colts by the Pats taught us.)

Thats pretty sad hill, it took the patriots losing two of their best for the steelers to have a chance.... hmmm....

Still, nothing is stopping the patriots from winning again this year and overcoming even the 60s packers and 70s steelers to become the greatest dynasty ever..... and then some.

AFC division winners: Cincinatti, New England, Indianapolis, San Diego

Wild cards: Pittsburg, Buffalo

AFC Title game: New England/Indianapolis



NFC division winners: Detroit, Philly, Atlanta, Seattle

Wild cards: St.Louis, Dallas

NFC title game: Atlanta/Philly

Super Bowl: Indianapolis/Atlanta

Winner(Atlanta)

I haven't really been following pro ball closely lately, so mine will probably be WAY off, but here goes:

AFC division winners: New England, Indianapolis, and (as much as it pains me to say both of these) Denver, and Pittsburgh

Wild cards: Cincinnati, Jacksonville

AFC Title game: Cincinnati/Indianapolis (a girl can dream, right?)


NFC division winners: Philadelphia, St. Louis, Tampa Bay and (don't laugh) Detroit

Wild cards: New Orleans, Atlanta

NFC title game: Philadelphia/New Orleans (making it a TOTAL Cinderella Story)

Super Bowl: Indianapolis over Philadelphia



Maybe I'm biased (and bitter), but I'd like to see how well Rothliesberger plays without an offensive line comprised of tanks... he NEVER had to scramble at Miami-- his line was incredible there. And Pittsburgh's is nothing to sneeze at. Don't get me wrong, he's talented, but I don't think he's really as good as everyone makes him out to be... and like I said, I could be SLIGHTLY biased (and bitter)...

The Vikes are due! But of course in Viking style they will make the playoffs and then fizzle.

I'm a bit disappointed because I just spent a big chunk of change for the DirecTV NFL Season Pass to watch my beloved Broncos, but after their first game it's not looking to be a good season.
