It's almost the start of the NFL Season, Time for everyone's fearless predictions:

[madinmaryland]

Cowboys all the way to the Super Bowl!!1!!

[Redbear]

1. The Houston Texans will WIN

five games this year. Unfortunately they have to play sixteen games.

[cloudbase]

34. I'm a bit more optimistic here.

I think the Texans will go 8-8 or perhaps 9-7. It's still a long way from the Love Ya Blue days.

[ceile]

69. I'm with you.

I predict at least 8-8.

[MrCoffee]

38. hope springs eternal, don't it?

[ceile]

68. Well, when that's all ya got......

;-)

[KitchenWitch]

2. The Oakland Raiders, under the fine quarterbacking of Daunte Culpepper

will have 10 fumbles (by said quarterback) recovered by the other team.

[madinmaryland]

3. Unfortunately the Raiders are going to have to wait a year or two

before they can pick up Michael Vick.

[KitchenWitch]

4. *snerk*

[tjwash]

19. As a Bolts fan that really breaks my heart.

:nopity:

Of course, we in San Diego are looking forward to our normal one and out in the playoffs as usual...

[TZ]

24. Norv Turner....

Can I just say nobody is better at getting the least out of his talent than anyone (I say this after 7 years of agony in Washington with him). My prediction? Based on Turner's record, the Chargers miss out on the playoffs after losing the last game of the year on a last minute field goal.......

[madinmaryland]

33. If the chargers can win with Schottenheimer, they should win

with Norv Turner. Of course neither of them could salvage anything out of the situation in DC. :evilgrin:

[Zavulon]

39. Quite true, but

I would argue that Schottenheimer didn't deserve to get fired. He won eight out of his last eleven and got canned merely because Wee Willie Snyder wanted to give the job to Steve Spurrier. He should have kept Marty.

[KitchenWitch]

48. This Vikings fan is relieved that he is gone

He was an okay QB. Then he got injured and was implicated in "love boat". Then he started whining about contract.

Buh-bye.

[Seabiscuit]

71. This postseason

Our Chargers will be eliminated in the first either the Pistons or the Tigers. Detroit's got to find a way to win something.

[ohiosmith]

5. Cincinnati will lead the league in criminal behavior for the second straight year.

San Diego will be a close second.

[sasquatch]

8. No I think the Steelers will beat us out in that statistic this year

But we will win the AFC North

[madinmaryland]

14. Hmmmm. What about the Ravens?

[ohiosmith]

27. That bunch of wannabees. Never.

[madinmaryland]

31. They're a one-and-out team in the playoffs this year.

[dannofoot]

6. Brady Quinn starts for the Browns

Beginning Week 4...Browns earn wild-card berth, Quinn is AFC Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Hey, you said be fearless!

[madinmaryland]

7. Wow! Browns a wild-card?

:wtf:

Quinn will start this year, maybe even by game four and may well be the rookie of the year. But they won't be in the playoffs!

[sasquatch]

9. "Browns earn wild-card berth"

We said "fearless" not BATSHIT CRAZY!!
:P

[Zavulon]

41. Fearless, not insane

;)

You might be right about Offensive Rookie of the Year (although my bet would be Marshawn Lynch), but the Browns would have a tough time making the playoffs in the CFL. Sorry, friend.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

78. A pick THAT fearless makes William Wallace look like a pansy.

You could have put the Browns at 6-10 and have still been "fearless"!

[DS1]

10. Pats

[bicentennial_baby]

43. We're going on 9/23

:woohoo:

Sweet seats too...and they're free :D

[DS1]

64. The company downstairs had a ticket giveaway for tonight's game

and a sign-up form.

So I wrote in Michael Vick

:yoiks:

[bicentennial_baby]

67. Ha!

:spank:

[sasquatch]

11. Bengals win the AFC North and Kimo Von Oelhoffen takes out Tom Brady-

in the playoffs so the Jets can get past the Patriots.

[TZ]

12. Kinda hard to go to the super bowl....

When at best you finish 3rd in your division behind the Skins and the Eagles....:P

[madinmaryland]

13. The Eaglets and Skins may win 10 games total between them!

That is if McNabb can stay healthy!

[TZ]

18. HA!

Maybe you haven't noticed but I think the Skins are going to have the best Defense in the East if not in the NFC (or even the NFL) and that carried them pretty far a couple of years ago (major injuries killed them last year). I see a 10-6 record easy....

[madinmaryland]

22. The Skins may win six games.

No Offense.

[TZ]

26. you are entitled to your opinion even if you are wrong..

I'm not "offended":evilgrin:

[madinmaryland]

30. I guess someone has to be optimistic about the Skins!

Most people I talk to aren't expecting much this year.

:shrug:

[Throd]

15. Raiders will continue to suck shark anus

[Strawman]

16. Lions 2-14

I'm being optimistic.

[sniffa]

54. oh c'mon

they drafted another wide receiver, didn't they? :rofl:

[Strawman]

61. Yes they did

the worst part is that the pick actually made some sense because of the rave reviews on Calvin Johnson and because two of the 4 WR's they have picked in the Top 10 were total busts. After all those picks, last year their #2 WR was a converted safety.

This year is the 50th anniversary of their last championship. Before there was even a Super Bowl. Yet it is $70 a ticket to go to their crappy games and they sell-out their beautiful stadium every week even though the economy in SE Michigan is horrible. The only nice thing about it is that the Fords did put the stadium back in the city and paid for it themselves.

[taught_me_patience]

17. Niner will look good!

Until Gore goes down with an injury and they lose 5 out of the last 6 to go 6-10 for the season (and once again breaking my heart).

[WritingIsMyReligion]

20. Pats will have a crazy-ass season, making me praise Bellichek extensively...

but will choke at the last moment, again. Why? New England sports have had too good a run in the past 5 or so years, and now the Pats have been labeled a "dynasty," they will fall back into a slow slide of mediocrity and, eventually, suckitude.

[tjwash]

21. Just be worried if they bring Zolak out of retirement

:crazy:

[SoxFan]

50. Is he older than Testaverde?

[madinmaryland]

58. Testaverde will not be back this year, but Abe Vigoda is still alive!

[Parche]

23. Go Yankees

:hi:

[SoxFan]

55. I fart in your general direction!

[Parche]

57. Fart

He who flatulates in church, sits in their own pew..............:hi:

[SoxFan]

60. ...

:spray:

[BOSSHOG]

25. SAINTS-CHARGERS-SUPER BOWL

Cool Brees beats his old team with a seven minute fourth quarter drive ending with Reggie Bush running a total of 43 yards to get across the goal line from the two.

[KamaAina]

92. You actually think it's gonna be that close?

Good choices of teams -- but the last time the Chargers went to the show, they lost to our former divisional rivals the Niners, 49-26. That sounds about right.

WHO DAT?

[BOSSHOG]

99. Sports Illustrated makes the same pick

and I made my post before I got SI in the mail. The Saints have looked pretty damned good this preseason.

[Initech]

98. That Super Bowl would kick major amounts of ass.

LT vs. Reggie Bush... DAMN!!!! I'd seriously go to San Diego and pay any amount of money to see that!

[Connonym]

28. Hey how about dem Packers eh?

I can't help it. I'm a sucker for the home team.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

29. Foot? No foot. (Almost) Ball? No ball. (Balls are spherical)

:hide:

[SoxFan]

51. Nice post Zidane

:P

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

59. Zip it or I'll headbutt you.

[LanternWaste]

32. Cowboys win no less than eleven games.

Cowboys win no less than eleven games.

(No, really!...)

[madinmaryland]

35. Cowboys go 11-5 and will have a first round bye!

[Broken_Hero]

36. Seattle Seahawks vs. The New England Patriots...

I'm a Seahawk fan(yeah, I know, I'm a loser), but in the big game...the Patriots steam roll over the Hawks, and the Pats win the Superbowl....no sense in straying to far from reality, I think the Pats will steam roll everyone....

[madinmaryland]

40. What about Randy Moss?

That's the only problem I see. Can Belichik handle him?

[Broken_Hero]

44. Moss will have a good year...he will be on a team

that is use to winning, a team that has usually dominated every other team...I think Moss will play his heart out, but I could be wrong...I'm not even a Pats fan, and...damn, that team looks very scary on paper...

[flvegan]

37. The Falcons will suck most incredibly.

I predict that without fear.

[Zavulon]

42. Second-most incredibly.

I'd bet the Raiders will be worse.

[SaveElmer]

45. Twelve arrests and three suspensions...nt

[SoxFan]

49. But enough about the Bengals...

[GOPisEvil]

46. Super Bowl: Houston Oilers v. St. Louis Cardinals

You don't want me cheering for your team. I used to love both of these teams. Now they don't exist. At least not in the same incarnation.

[madinmaryland]

52. Los Angeles Raiders vs. Oakland Raiders vs. ?????? Raiders ??2??

I don't know which is which anymore.

:crazy:

[evlbstrd]

47. The Kansas City Chiefs

will blow this year. Their punter will go to the Pro Bowl.

[taught_me_patience]

70. KC will have the second worst offence in the league

Only cleveland will be worse.

[evlbstrd]

83. Yup.

KC's only hope is that the AFC West will suck in general.

[SoxFan]

53. Pats vs. Saints

Sleeper team: Arizona Cardinals

[WritingIsMyReligion]

56. Tedi Bruschi!

:woohoo:

[SoxFan]

72. Full Tilt, Full Time!

:applause:

[IndianaJones]

62. The lameass NFC will not win the Super Bowl...

can the AFC send two teams?

[fizzgig]

63. denver will continue to me mediocre

maybe they'll make a wild card, but if they do, they'll lose in the first round

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

75. Deleted post - wrong place

[1gobluedem]

65. I predict that the Lions will NOT go to the Super Bowl

I know that's going way out a limb, but there you go. :evilgrin:

[Seabiscuit]

66. Penguins vs. Pistons!!!

Manchester wins the trophy!!!

[LynneSin]

73. I predict that by week #5, Terrell Owens will have another hissy-fit with his team

And btw - GO EAGLES!

[PRETZEL]

80. aren't we the optimist

I figure after the first loss TO will bash Romo and that'll be the start of a season long hour a week episode for ESPN.

Forget the Eagles

Here we go STEELERS........................

[madinmaryland]

90. I see we have another eaglet fan weighing in with their commentary!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!1!!

[Zavulon]

74. The Pats will make the business of winning look very easy this year.

They won't go 16-0, but as long as Brady is healthy I would be stunned by anything less than 14-2 and another ring.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

[dropkickpa]

77. Steelers (again)

Here we go, Steelers, super bowl!!!

[Fox Mulder]

79. The Minnesota Vikings will take it all this year.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[madinmaryland]

89. Only on a stripper cruise will they take it all (off)

:rofl:

[LSK]

81. let me go out on a limb here

A field goal will win a game as the clock expires.

[ElboRuum]

82. Philadelphia Eagles vs. New England Patriots...

Yes, we will see a repeat of this matchup. And the result will be precisely the same.

[madinmaryland]

88. The Eaglets?

:wtf:

[ElboRuum]

93. Mark my words...

This will be the Super Bowl this year.

[madinmaryland]

95. Thanks for the laughs!!1!!

:rofl:

How long will McNabb last?

[ElboRuum]

100. I predict that McNabb will last the entire season.

I also predict that Westbrook will be injured as well as Corell Buckhalter, but both injuries will keep them out for at most 2 weeks. McNabb will be shaken up a few times and may miss a couple of weeks as well, but Kolb will hold it together in his absence. Gaither will, at first, be shaky having taken Trotter's position, but will slowly ramp up.

The Eagles will win all but one of their divisional games (their loss will not against the Cowboys, but probably a team they are expected to beat mercilessly), and will have around a .700 record for non-divisional games. I predict that they will win only one game against an AFC opponent.

[mvd]

84. Eagles, 12-4 and win Super Bowl - well, you said fearless!

I really do think the next Philly team to make it to the Super Bowl/championship series will win it -even if it is against the Patriots. All four teams have gone to the end and lost since 1983, so we will break the cycle.

[matcom]

85. REDSKINS will take BOTH games from the Cowboys

and those will be their only two wins for the season

:rofl:

[madinmaryland]

87. The Redskins will have TWO wins, only they will be against the Eaglets!

[TZ]

96. Redskins will have 2 wins vs Eagles, 2 Wins vs Cowboys

and just to be realistic 1 win agaisnt the Giants...They did this 2 years ago. No reason not to do it again since ahem..Cowboys have a lame ass quarterback and a lame ass coach btw. Oh yeah, whats up with their running game? I also predict that TO will have more temper tantrums than touchdowns.....:P

[mvd]

91. LOL - I used to be a Skins fan, and I'd have much rather those two..

wins be against the Cowboys than the Eagles.

[taterguy]

86. Write it down: The team that scores the most points in the Super Bowl will win the championship

[JTG of the PRB]

94. Denver Broncos all the way!

To an AFC West title at the very least. It might take us a couple weeks to hit our stride, but when we do, we'll be off to the races.

[madinmaryland]

97. The Broncos?

:wtf:

Unless Norv Turner screws up the bolts, then the Broncs will be lucky to make the playoffs.

[driver8]

101. The Buffalo Bills will not win the Super Bowl!!

However, I will still sit and watch them every Sunday like an idiot...

[KG]

102. to all Chargers fans,

signed,

a lifelong Redskins fan.

[bamacrat]

103. V-I-K-I-N-G-S.

Well that is who I want to go and win it all, but my pick is the patriots. They are Super Bowl caliber anyway, throw in Randy Moss. Unstopable.

[madinmaryland]

104. The vikings?

Do they have another riverboat cruise planned this year??

:evilgrin:
