Romo seems to be more focused coming into this season. I'm not sure if
that is a good thing or a bad thing. What will kill this team is the
offensive line. It's sad to say the least. Gurode and Davis are good,
but I can't see them being a Top 10 rushing team again this year. That
will put more pressure on Romo. Still a damn good team though, and
they should be able to win the division.
The offensive line ultimately ended the season with the pressure on Romo early, and the shoulder injury.
NY Giants 8-8 (Actual: 10-6)
Ever
since their Super Bowl win, they have seemed to lose more players than
they gain in the offseason. Solid running backs and offensive line
once again, but terrible receivers. Going up against the defensive
teams they have in their division, I see a similar season to last
year...at best.
So it turns out, I was right about Eli Manning. A lot of yards...but ranked 17th in QB rating...and dead last in INT's
Washington Redskins 8-8 (Actual: 6-10)
Loved
the pickup of McNabb. They give this team a mobile quarterback to take
the pressure off the receivers. Loved the addition of Shanahan at head
coach...he will bring accountability to the players that they haven't
had for a very long time. Still will be a learning curve for them
however, and a division that routinely beats on each other will hurt
them.
Six of their ten losses were by 4 points or less. Shanahan didn't do anything for this team...and McNabb got old real fast.
Philadelphia Eagles 6-10 (Actual: 10-6)
Kevin
Kolb isn't as good as Donovan McNabb. Not even close. I think the
Eagles fans were just desperate for a change, and didn't really think
this one through. I just see them losing a lot of close games, and
they also might not be able to win a game in December (Houston, at
Dallas, at NYG, Minnesota, Dallas)
I was right about Kolb...but didn't predict Vick going nuts in the early part of the season. 3-3 finish to the year...and a first round exit.

Great
offense, great defense, great home field advantage. Not sure what else
you really need. They should easily be among the best in the NFC all
season long. Offensive line might be a little shaky, and as with any
team an injury could make things tough...but the Packers are very good
this year. Where I see them getting in trouble is if they get pass
happy with Rodgers, rather than trusting the run game with Grant.
An injury could make it tough...15 could make it real tough. But they are still alive
Minnesota Vikings 9-7 (Actual: 6-10)
Too
many issues with the wide receivers this year. Teams will not
underestimate Favre again, which is a major reason why I think he did
what he did last year. Peterson is a beast, but if he hasn't learned
how to stop fumbling I don't see them making the playoffs, which is
good because then Favre really won't come back. Their defense is still
tops in the league though, so a winning record shouldn't be unrealistic.
Favre sucked. The coaching sucked. The roof collapsed.
Detroit Lions 5-11 (Actual: 6-10)
Much
improved in a lot of areas, and I like Matthew Stafford to make a solid
jump this year. Kevin Smith looks healthy, and the offense should be
able to hang in games...the defensive secondary is still sketchy at
best.
Pretty much right on...obviously except for Kevin Smith
Chicago Bears 5-11 (Actual: 11-5)
Could
be the worst offensive team in the league. Forte had a good first
season, but I still see him being very overrated, same with Jay
Cutler. Johnny Knox is a solid player, but not a #1 guy. Defense
beefed up a little with Peppers, but I'm not sure he still has enough
gas in the tank. Tough schedule for them as well, as they are going up
against quite a bit a good defenses. 10-13 points a game will be the
norm for da Bears.
Weird team this year...they were 30th in yards per game...28th in pass yards...22nd in rushing yards...21st in points per game...and dead last in sacks allowed

Still
the best team in the divsion, but I don't see them being as great as
they were last year. Super Bowl hangover will be in effect. Plus,
with Sharper missing a significant portion of the season, they will be
more susceptible to the pass...and with an already average to below
average secondary, it could be tough. Still in a weak division with a
favorable schedule though.
Had to get some of them right!
Atlanta Falcons 10-6 (Actual: 13-3)
Playoff
quality team. Good QB, good RB, good WR, and solid offensive line.
But no matter how much I look at it, I don't like their defensive
line. Going up against primarily running teams will hurt this team.
They were 10th against the rush...and 1st in give/take
Carolina Panthers 6-10 (Actual: 2-14)
Rebuilding
year at a lot of positions...especially at QB and on defense. Not an
incredibly strong offensive line will mean a lot of sacks and turnovers
for Matt Moore. Luckily they don't have incredibly difficult schedule
so this number could be anywhere realistically. If they face a team
that has the ability to shut down Steve Smith, I really can't see this
team being able to put up 20 points per game.
With what I said about them, I don't know why I gave them 6 wins.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 3-13 (Actual: 10-6)
Will
be able to stay in a lot of games simply because of their defensive
secondary. Talib and Barber are very good, so is Ruud. This number
could bump up to 5 at best if the defensive line shows up and plays to
its potential. Other than that, they still need an elite receiver or
running back to be able to hold down a lead.
Absolutely the surprise team of the year for me. Mike Williams and LeGarratte Blount came out of nowhere.

A
lot obviously depends on the health of their offensive players, but if
Hasselbeck and the receivers can stay healthy, then this team is the
best team in the NFC West. Their defense is fast and aggressive, but
without points last year they stumbled. I like getting Okung to
protect Hasselbeck...and Branch/Houshmanzadeh are a very good 1-2 combo
on the edges. They also have a top 5 tight end with John Carlson.
The best team in the NFC West!! Everyone else was on the Niners
San Francisco 49ers 9-7 (Actual: 6-10)
Almost
time to make the jump. Expectations have been there for the Niners for
several years now...but with Singletary having more control and knowing
this team better, they should be able to get over .500. A good team
needs to be able to run the ball and play defense, and that's what the
Niners do. Gore is a beast, and this defense (linebackers especially)
is very very good. One offensive playmaker away IMO.
They need a QB. Gore got hurt, and that just murdered this team. We'll see what the new coach can do
Arizona Cardinals 9-7 (Actual: 5-11)
Still
a decent team, even without Warner. But they won't be close to as
efficient an offense as they have been in the past. Their defense has
gotten better every year however, and I see them playing with a chip on
their shoulder after that playoff embarassment. I would go with
Anderson over Leinart as well, always go with the better arm.
Yeah they sucked.
St. Louis Rams 4-12 (Actual: 7-9)
Bradford
looks pretty solid so far in preseason, but there is no question that
this is still a bad team. I like the direction they are heading
however. Will win a couple games this year.
Bradford exceeded all expectations. Jackson rushed huge. The defense played well

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME IF THAT CAME TRUE GREEN BAY VS BALTIMORE RAVENS
It isnt happening Cinncinati B`s vs Green Bay Followed close by S.F REMEBER I SAID IT FIRST ,ALSO A GREAT WRITE as well ,I agree with most of your plays gl
You did say it first. That's for sure.

WOW. Andre Johnson, Roddy White, Randy Moss all have a wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better chance of getting 1850+ yds than Reggie Wayne. Wayyyyyyyyyyyy better chance. Manning will be throwing to Gonzalez,Collie,Garcon,Clark AND Reggie Wayne. Id easily give you 50:1 on that for 100$.
He finished 3rd in the league. I guess that's not too bad. Jacob Tamme killed it in the final 4 weeks or so
