2009 - 2010 NFL Season Predictions

Like most others, I can't wait for the season to start. While I've been waiting, I've been thinking about how the season will unfold. The Steelers will try to remain dominate as Brady and the Patriots try to hoist the trophy once again. After a wonderful offseason, the Eagles try to win their first ever Super Bowl. Here are my predictions.

AFC East

New England 13-3

Miami 7-9

New York Jets 7-9

Buffalo 5-11

With Tom Brady back, the Patriots will dominate the division. They went 11-5 last year with Matt Cassel at quarterback. Think about what they can do with Brady back. T.O will bring his problems to Buffalo and make a promising Buffalo team fall to 5-11.

AFC West

San Diego 10-6

Denver 9-7

Kansas City 6-10

Oakland 3-13

Denver will fall short of a division title because of lack of coaching. San Diego is the only other real contender in the division. Kansas City is in a rebuilding state right now so don't expect much from them.

AFC North

Pittsburgh 12-4

Baltimore 10-6

Cincinnati 6-10

Cleveland 3-13

Pittsburgh didn't have any key losses this offseason. Baltimore lost DC Rex Ryan, Terrell Suggs, and Derrick Mason. Pittsburgh wins division because of Batimore departures.

AFC South

Indianapolis 11-5

Houston 10-6

Tennessee 9-7

Jacksonville 5-11

Even with the loss of Tony Dungy and Marvin Harrison, the Colts will win the division. Tennessee's quarterback situation won't work out in my opinion so they fall to a measly 9-7. Houston finally gets there act together and pulls out a 10-6 record.

NFC East

Philadelphia 12-4

New York G 11-5

Dallas 9-7

Washington 8-8

Phiadelphia had a great offseason and takes the division with the Giants following close behind. Washington finishes last because of poor offense.

NFC West

Arizona 11-5

Seattle 9-7

San Fran 6-10

St. Louis 3-13

Arizona proves last year was not a fluke with another division title. Seattle does better than last year with the additions of Aaron Curry and TJ. San Francisco and St. Louis do horrible again because of... well, they just suck.

NFC North

Minnesota 10-6

Chicago 8-8

Green Bay 7-9

Detroit 3-13

Minnesota wins the division on the legs of Adrian Peterson and a nice defense. Chicago chokes towards the end of the year and finish 8-8. Detroit is last...again. No debate there.

NFC South

Atlanta 10-6

Carolina 10-6

New Orl. 7-9

Tampa 6-10

Atlanta wins division because of sophmore quarterback Matt Ryan and a better conference record. Delhomme won't deliver for the Panthers as Ryan does for the Falcons. Tampa goes 6-10. They have noone at quarterback and rookie Josh Freeman won't get the job done.
