Random full NFL Season prediction from Sportales.com

[Dpantherman]

Very Random...

For the past few years immediately following the NFL draft I have been predicted what each team will do in the upcoming season. I have to admit that most of the time the predictions are off but every once in a while I nail it head on. Last year was actually a very good year for me as I predicted the superbowl teams but I did have it reversed in Indy winning over New Orleans. So with all that in mind, let’s take a look at the forecasts for this year, shall we……..

AFC South

1.) Indianapolis Colts — Divison winner (12-4) A favorite once again to win super bowl.

2.) Houston Texans — Wild Card (11-5) This team finally breaks into the playoffs.

3.) Tennessee Titans – Wild Card (10-6) Now playing for the entire season, Vince will get them back into the playoffs.

4.) Jacksonville Jaguars — 5-11 Another long season is in store.

AFC North

1.) Cincinnatti Bengals — Division Winner (11-5) I like this team to actually win a playoff game this year.

2.) Balitmore Ravens — (9-7) Falls just short of the playoffs.

3.) Pittsburgh Steelers — (7-9) Too many distractions to overcome for playoffs.

4.) Cleveland Browns — (4-12) A definite rebuilding year….It seems like that same story every year.

AFC East

1.) Miami Dolphins — Division Winner (10-6) My big Sleeper Team.

2.) New York Jets — (9-7) My pick that no one will agree with but wait till the season’s over before criticizing.

3.) New England Patriots – (7-9) The dynasty is coming to a close fast now.

4.) Buffalo Bills — (3-13) What else can you do but pray for this team.

AFC West

1.) San Diego Chargers — Division Winner (12-4) Another divison title should be wrapped up by the middle of the season.

2.) Oakland Raiders — (8-8) It’s been a long time to just be at .500 for the season but they finally move in the right direction this year.

3.) Kansas City Chiefs — (6-10) Call me crazy but I have a feeling about this team this year. Not a playoff team but they will show good improvements on both sides of the ball.

4.) Denver Broncos – (2-12) I will probably get tons of hate mail from this one but I don’t know how you can expect to compete at all when you trade all of your good players but then again I am not a coach so maybe there is some logic, right?

NFC South

1.) New Orleans Saints — (13-3) Division Winner. Definitely the favorite in NFC and to repeat as SB champions.

2.) Carolina Panthers — (10-6) Wild Card Team. Strong running game will help out Claussen and give him time to develop but he still gets them to the playoffs in his rookie season.

3.) Atlanta Falcons — (8-8) I love Matt Ryan but they are still a few pieces away from making another playoff appearance.

4.) Tampa Bay Buccaneers — (5-11) Slight improvement but they still have a long road ahead of them.

NFC North

1.) Minnesota Vikings — (13-3) This rests entirely on Brett Favre playing another season. If he does then a SB is a definite possibility, if he doesn’t then playoffs will not even happen.

2.) Green Bay Packers — (12-4) Wild Card Team. Will compete up to the last week with Minnesota for the division but will ultimately take the wildcard.

3.) Chicago Bears — (6-10) I predicted several years ago that Cutler was all hype and would not be a good NFL QB. It looks like I hit the nail on the head here.

4.) Detriot Lions — (6-10) Will actually tie for third place in the division. Hey, it’s a start in the right direction, right?

NFC East

1.) Dallas Cowboys — (11-5) Division Winner. No reasons why another division title shouldn’t be easier this year than last.

2. Washington Redskins — (9-7) Addition of McNabb will get this team back to winning ways but they will fall just short of the playoffs.

3. New York Giants — (8-8) Am I the only person who has no faith in Eli? This team needs to get back to running the ball if it wants to return to the playoffs.

4.) Philadelphia Eagles — (5-11) The Kevin Kolb experiment is under way. While most don’t see him struggling too much, I on the other hand think he will.

NFC West

1.) San Fransisco 49er’s — (10-6) Division Winner. After a hiatus of many years the niners return to the playoffs with a division title to boot.

2.) Seattle Seahawks — (7-9) This team really took some very very good strides in the draft and they will compete this year but the real news is to watch out in a couple of seasons because this team is being built to last for a while.

3.) Arizona Cardinals — (6-10) Matt Leinhart is not Kurt Warner and this team will suffer because of it. A playoff team with Kurt, without him a very poor team.

4.) St Louis Rams — (2-14) For some reason I don’t see Sam Braddford being the answer to turn this team around.

ssshhhh!!!!! :biggrin:

[necroplasm]

Dallas Cowboys over Carolina Panthers...in the playoffs?!?!??. That is impossible.

i'm sorry, i fail to see how the ravens won't make the playoffs, nor do i understand how the jets won't, the titans will, and the patriot's dynasty is coming to an end...

also the way the nfc south works is if you win the division you suck the next year... so... yeah, the saints aren't going anywhere, brees is going down early due to the curse, and the panthers and falcons will be fighting over the #1 spot in the division.

Do you think Brees will go down even before the season starts? The Madden Curse should be even stronger this year, you know, New Orleans being special and all.

I don't see how Clausen is automatically assumed starting over Moore.

I don't see how Clausen is automatically assumed starting over Moore.

Media believes it. It's like.. no one knows who Matt Moore is. lol

Denver 2-12....the lulz. Don't they still play OAK and KC twice a year?

[pigskinpicker]

I'm big on both the Jets and Ravens this year, I think one of those teams will rep the AFC in the Super Bowl. Also I don't think Houston will do anything yet again this year, you never know but they do have the hardest schedule in the NFL this year (based on last year) which don't mean a whole lot, but for now its all we have to go on, I predict them at 8-8
