Fearless NFL 2010 Predictions
The theme for my predictions is stability. In general, I like teams that have the same Coach/QB in place for more than a season or two with the one exception being the Vikings. Without further adieu, here are my picks:

NFC EAST
Giants (The Giants' schedule is a little softer than the Cowboys.)
Cowboys
Eagles
Redskins


NFC NORTH
Vikings
Packers
Bears
Lions


NFC SOUTH
Saints
Falcons
Panthers
Buccaneers

NFC WEST
49ers
Cardinals
Seahawks
Rams

Wild Cards: Packers and Cowboys

NFC Champion: Minnesota Vikings


AFC EAST
Miami Dolphins
Patriots
Jets
Bills

AFC NORTH
Ravens
Bengals
Steelers
Browns

AFC SOUTH
Colts
Texans
Titans
Jaguars

AFC WEST
Chargers
Broncos
Raiders
Chiefs


AFC Champion: Indy Colts

Superbowl: Colts vs. Vikings

Winner: Minnesota Vikings (Favre finally retires).

1. For what it's worth,
really doesn't matter who finishes 3rd or 4th in each, so top two in each division.

NFC:
East - Cowboys and Eagles
North - Packers and Vikings
South - Saints and Falcons
West - Cards and 49ers

Wild Cards - Eagles and Vikings

NFC Champ - Saints

AFC:
East - Jets and Patriots
North - Bengals and Steelers
South - Indianapolis and Houston
West - San Diego and Denver

Wild Cards - Patriots and Steelers

AFC Champ - Indianapolis

Super Bowl - Indianapolis

2. A few predictions
Will withhold divisional predictions until later, but here are a few scenarios which should happen.
On October 24, the Vikings go into Lambeau Field to play a Sunday night prime time game against the undefeated Green Bay Packers. In the third quarter, the Vikes qb, a certain no. 4, drops back to pass amidst a ferocious pass rush. He cannot find anyone open, so being the glory hound that he is, he starts to scramble. The Packers tough linebcker, Nick Barnett hits him with a hard but legal hit. The Vikes qb gets carried off the field never to return and Barnett gets a 15 yard penalty and a $75,000 fine for actually hitting the qb and making sure his career is now over. Barnett also gets the never ending admiration of all football fans everywhere for ending all the crap that goes with no. 4 each and every year.
Big Ben Roethlisberger gets his suspension reduced to four games because he is a white star qb and the league hierarchy want him in there. However, in his first game back, he gets a ferocious but legal hit from a linebacker and gets carted off the field, ending his season. The LB gets a 15 yard penalty and a fine of $50,000 because he ended Roethlisberger's season. Women everywhere cheer the LB and he gets many marriage proposals.
Denver realizes that Orton sucks and start Tebow in game 8 of the season. Tebow is hailed as a great savior after the Broncos win a couple of games with him at the helm. In game 11, a LB lays a ferocious but legal hit on him, ending his season. The LB gets a 15 yard penalty and fined $25,000 because he took out one of God's chosen ones. Pagans all over the USA cheer on the LB and he becomes the first to say, "it's my muscles, not Jesus" and get paid for it.
So there you have it. Some of my dream scenarios. In particular the first one.
