Mid-Season Super Bowl/Sleeper Predictions

[saX man]

Alright so we've seen a decent amount of games so far this year.  Where are you at with your Super Bowl predictions?

 

I was thinking Broncos v. Packers at season's beginning.  

 

Right now, I'm thinking there is a team a piece in each conference that will make a leap come playoff time.

 

I also think the Lions and Bengals can go deep into the playoffs this year.  

 

My current guess is a Patriots-Lions Super Bowl (And it's not just because of Calvin's big game)

No way the Lions can sneak past all of the Hawks, Niners, Saints, and Pack in the playoffs.

 

Pats are never a bad pick, but even though I really didn't wanna buy into the Denver hype at the beginning of the season, they look invincible right now. And then of course, the Chiefs have found a way to win every single game so far with Alex Smith at QB, so they have to be in the talks too.

Official prediction right here will have to be the Niners vs the Broncos unfortunately. I think the Hawks are a better team than the Niners, but I just need like they'll get unlucky and drop a game.

I think they beat the Pack in 4 weeks and take the division.  They've got a fairly lite schedule.

KC vs GB

[Hawk]

surrounded by homerism so now it's my turn....

 

an old AFC West Battle in the Super Bowl this year.....KC and Seattle

[Verge]

Denver vs Seattle

[charlotte49er]

Denver & KC still have 2 games between them.

 

KC still plays the Bolts twice and COLTS.  COLTS have proven to be giant killers!  (They love to beat undefeated teams!)

 

Denver plays KC twice and at New England yet to come.

 

COLTS play the Texans & Titans twice + KC + the Bengals!  (I can see 2 more loses in there.)

 

IF the Colts WR's step up in Reggie's absence, I can see the COLTS going deep into the Playoffs. 

 

I could actually see the Bengals making it to the Super Bowl.

 

However, my pick for the Super Bowl is:

 

Denver vs New Orleans.  (Peyton Manning gets his revenge on the Saints! 38 - 21)

Kc is the biggest fraud there is. Wouldn't be surprised if they miss the Playoffs at 9-7. The Panthers are a better team.

[Manos]

Panthers vs Broncos

Yes I am a homer BUT if the Panthers keep up their current level of play they are better than every other team in the NFC.

I will say I wanted to pick KC but I just don't trust Reid in the playoffs.

With Jake Locker back way earlier than previously thought, Tennessee has sleeper potential in the AFC (non-homer version). As for the Bolts, we're holding a lot of stuff together with duct tape, but if the staff continues to coach it's ass off, it might just hold.

The AFC is a complete crap shoot (the 5 seed hosting the AFCCG would not surprise me one bit), but right now I'd take Cincy.

 

As far as the NFC goes, people are fixated on SEA-SF and Green Bay is slipping under the radar. As they get healthier I think they may pass the Western teams and head to New York.

[PhillyB]

unfortunately i think the saints are the best team in the NFC and i could see them making a deep run.

Denver Broncos defeat the Seattle Seahawks 35-28

Saints v. Colts could be one that blindsides a few

 

I think the Saints-Broncos is the most likely match-up as things stand.  

 

In the NFC, you'd think someone between the Saints, Packers, Seahawks, and 49ers will make it (The Panthers and Lions are looking damn good too)

 

AFC, we're looking at the Colts, Patriots, Broncos, and a possible Bengal surge? Maybe the Chiefs slump in division games and the Bolts surpass them.
