Anyone got any predictions for this season? I think I picked Minnesota and Baltimore in the Superbowl last year - which actually was a step above my usual picks. I think this year is going to be pretty wild.
AFC - It is hard not seeing the Colts not making it to the superbowl again. I think the Jets are over-rated. Baltimore's offense is better but their defense is getting old. New England also has some problems on defense. San Diego keeps losing key players. Cincinnati looks pretty solid on both sides of the ball - they may be a darkhorse. And of course you can't count the Steelers out when Roethlisberger returns. Guess I gotta go with the Colts.
NFC - Assuming we aren't going to have a superbowl repeat - which would be really odd - I have to pick someone other than the Saints. Packers seem to have made a jump past Minnesota on a lot of people's lists. Like most everyone, I have a tough time seeing Favre repeating the same level of success as last year. But the Vikings are still pretty loaded. Dallas is another option, but I'm not sure about their defense. No one else really jumps out - I actually think Derek Anderson might have a decent year in Ariz - since he has the WRs - they might be able to hold off San Fran. out west. I think Philly is a little too optimistic about Kolb's ability to replace McNabb but I could easily be wrong.
I'm going with the Vikings. It seems like teams (outside San Diego) that come up just short one year often make it the next.
Surprise wildcard teams: Detroit and Kansas City?
