Bold NFL Predictions - Here's mine, what are yours?

[sampsonblk]

AFC East: Patriots

AFC North: No Way. They are all solid playoff teams.

AFC South: Titans or Colts. OK that's not really bold. But its too tough to pick.

AFC West: Chargers by a mile. The other teams are completely unprepared.

NFC East: Cowboys. They are all second-rate teams with huge flaws.

NFC North: Da Bears, of course. No contest.

NFC South: Saints, closely followed by the Atlanta Falcons, who aren't nearly as dead as folks think.

NFC West: Arizona Cardinals. Yes, they have arrived. They will waltz into the playoffs with big fanfare.

Big stories of the year:

1. Atlanta Falcons win without their star QB. Better to have an average team player than a selfish superstar.

2. AZ Cardinals are going to light it up. But in the end, they are not good on defense.

3. Vince Young is going to be a candidate for MVP. Remember the name LenDale White. He is going to make his name this year.

4. Weary Saints fans won't be kept waiting for long. That team is stacked and will not disappoint this year. They can score at will. And now they know it. Watch out.

5. Brady Quinn is going to start at some point this season, and he is going to do fine.

6. JaMarcus Russell has worn out his welcome in more places than just Oakland. The Raiders took a real chance on the guy, and he's holding out for money? This will not end well.

7. The Colts are still the Colts. Ya might want to remember that. Vince Young will.

1. The Cardinals? What about the Seahawks?

2. Seahawks? I don't think so.

They are good, but stagnant. The Cardinals are happening right now. A nuch of young guys who still think the whole world belongs to them. They have something to prove.

3. Can Leinhart carry them?

4. Oh yeah. That guy is legit

I am no Leinart fan. I thought he was all hype in college. But the kid can play. It looks like that opportunity to play behind Kurt Warner really did him a whole lot of good.

Passer rating is 114.3 (6th) in the preseason.

5. I think the Eagles will win the NFC East, but..

how far in the playoffs they go, I'm not sure. Their defense should be slightly improved, and hopefully McNabb will have a healthy and productive year. I worry about defensive line the most. The D-Line starters haven't shown a whole lot in the pre-season.

7. Can't count out the Eagles

They are a serious team. No question. They are going to have to commit to running the ball. They won't be able to do the same stuff they did before and expect to win the division. The other teams have improved too much for that.

8. Oh yes, I agree

Now that they have Tony Hunt, they should be able to get those short but tough yards more easily.

9. Well its always good to have a Penn Stater on the roster

Good point.
