2009 NFL Prediction Thread

[PhillyPhreak54]

Let's try to have some more participation this year, eh?

NFC EAST

1. Philadelphia - do I really believe this? I don't know. Yes. No, I don't. Yes. Yes!!
2. New York - If they get production from Nicks and Barden, they could easily take over 1st.
3. Dallas - Their WRs scare no one. Their old OL scares Tony Romo. Tony Romo is scared of November and December.
4. Washington - They make me so zorny!

NFC NORTH

1. Green Bay - Rodgers and Jennings leading the offense allows them to eek it out over Minny and Chicago.
2. Minnesota - Favre isn't the answer, although neither were Rosenfels or Jackson. Peterson and the defense carry them.
3. Chicago - Toughest division to predict? By far. If Cutler can get any outside help, they could be dangerous.
4. Detroit - The good news is that they will win a game or two. Maybe even three!

NFC SOUTH

1. New Orleans - Their offense is great and the defense is slightly improved. Enough to win this one.
2. Atlanta - Can Turner still be that workhorse back? Will Ryan suffer a sophomore slump? How is the defense?
3. Carolina - Delhomme is done.
4. Tampa Bay - See that rudderless Pirate ship floating in last place? Hopefully they can upset Dallas at least.

NFC WEST

1. Seattle - Close call with SF, I hope Jim Mora throws some more of his sideline cry baby fits.
2. San Francisco - I like Singletary and a commitment to the run with Gore & Coffee. Patrick Willis is a pimp.
3. Arizona - The Super Bowl Hangover continues. They are talking about being lethargic already.
4. St. Louis - I am interested in seeing how well Spagnuolo does.


NFC PLAYOFFS
1. New Orleans
2. Philadelphia
3. Green Bay vs. 6. Atlanta - Interesting first round matchup; all offense and no defense; ATL wins a shootout
4. Seattle vs. 5. New York - Sadly no hilarious Shockey WTF clips from this one; Giants win.

New Orleans vs. Atlanta - The Falcons make it a round farther this year, but Drew Brees and his 7500yds are too much
Philadelphia vs. New York - Rematch from last years divisional game with the same result. How? I don't know.

New Orleans vs. Philadelphia - Ok, I like the Saints offense. A lot. But can their RB situation and defense really get them this far? They have to use them sometimes, right? Eagles defense isn't much better and the Birds win 35-31.

AFC EAST

1. New England - Gold standard and more interviews with Brady's farging knee surgeon. Belichick wears a tank top all year.
2. New York - I want them to win because of Buddy's kid. I like the trash talk. Sanchez will have a Matt Ryan type year.
3. Miami - How much does Pennington have left? Can they run the wildcat all the way to 11-5 again? Nope.
4. Buffalo - If you fire your OC with a week to go until the season, you finish last. Lee Evans and TO or not.

AFC NORTH

1. Pittsburgh - Roethlisraper + those two backs + Tomlin + that defense = good
2. Det. Jimmy McNulty - Ball control offense with three solid backs and the defense. More Harbaugh leg humpin' from Munson
3. Cincincincinnati - Andre Smith's man boobs are no match for this division's DEs. I like a lot of their players though.
4. Cleveland - Where have you gone, Kelly Holcomb?!

AFC SOUTH

1. Houston - I'm buying into the hype because of Johnson, Slaton, Williams and Ryans. Schaub has to be healthy.
2. Indianapolis - WIth so much coaching turnover, how will Igor handle it?
3. Tennessee - Cinderella ride with Kerry farging Collins is over.
4. Jacksonville - Still don't dig Del Rio as a coach.

AFC WEST

1. San Diego - The Year Of Philip Rivers. And celebratory choke-slams of Tila Tequila in the locker room.
2. Denver - Only because they aren't KC or Oakland. How's that cash taste, Dawk?
3. Kansas City - I could see them ending up in 2nd if the OL holds up and Larry can have a rebound season
4. Oakland - Heyward-Bay catches over/under = 20; Richard Seymour never reports

AFC PLAYOFFS
1. San Diego
2. Pittsburgh
3. New England vs. Baltimore - great match-up but offense prevails over defense; New England wins
4. Houston vs. Indianapolis - The Texans are one and done after the Colts catch a rhythm towards the end of the year

San Diego vs. Indianapolis - If they can overcome The Norv Factor, they win...and I think they will
Pittsburgh vs. New England - Must see TV...PIT wins a 15 round KO...barely.

San Diego vs. Pittsburgh - The Steelers fall short of going to two straight SBs and the quest for the 7th trophy is denied

Philadelphia vs. San Diego - for the second straight year I pick these two and I will (highly) likely be wrong.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES finally win a Super Bowl...DeSean Jackson is SB MVP.
