2009-2010 NFL Predictions

I'm sorry. This is a little late, but It's not too late. Here are my NFL predictions and playoffs.

*=wild card

AFC East

New England Patriots
Miami Dolphins
Buffalo Bills
New York Jets

The Patriots will win it all with the return of Tom Brady, and signings of Joey Galloway and Fred Taylor, it isn't a question who will win. The Dolphins need a year to be competitive.

The Bills will be better with T.O., but will still miss the playoffs. The Jets will win last, but is still a decent team.

AFC North

Pittsburgh Steelers
Baltimore Ravens
Cincinnati Bengals
Cleveland Browns

The Steelers are too good for a Super Bowl hangover, and they will win the division with ease. The Ravens have a rock-solid defense, and the Bengals are the opposite. Both will play spoiler.

The Browns were a huge disappointment, and this year will be no different. You know things are bad when you don't know who your starting QB is.

AFC South

Indianapolis Colts
*Houston Texans
*Tennessee Titans
Jacksonville Jaguars

The Colts lost their head coach and main wideout, the Titans lost their best defensive player, and the Texans are historically bad, yet all 3 make the playoffs.

Both wild cards come from this division. The Jags, after a dropoff in 2008, will need a year to reassess. It is a close and exciting race.

AFC West

San Diego Chargers
Oakland Raiders
Denver Broncos
Kansas City Chiefs

This division SUCKS. The Chargers are the only talented team in the West. The other teams all stink on ice, so this is the Chargers division to lose.

NFC East

Philadelphia Eagles
*New York Giants
Dallas Cowboys
Washington Redskins

The Eagles are a very improved team, and the Giants will also make the playoffs. The Cowboys way of adding by subtracting doesn't work, and the Redskins will win last.

This will be another exciting race, and it will be a good one at that.

NFC North

Minnesota Vikings
Chicago Bears
Green Bay Packers
Detroit Lions

The Vikes will run away with the division with Favre. The Bears get a little better with Cutler, and the Packers get revenge on Favre with 2 wins, and the Lions, well, they get 3 wins.

NFC South

Carolina Panthers
*New Orleans Saints
Atlanta Falcons
Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Panthers will prevail behind a healthy (for 7 games) Jake Delhomme. The Saints get in the playoffs with phenominal offense. I know I will get hate for this, but I don't think it is the Falcons' year.

The Bucs shouldn't have let Garcia walk, and because of it, they enter this year as a rebuilding team.

NFC West

Arizona Cardinals
Seattle Seahawks
San Francisco 49ers
St. Louis Rams

Screw Super Bowl hangover, the Cardinals win the division head-on. The Seahawks get much better with Houshmandzadeh, but will miss playoff glory.

I am done with calling the 49ers studs, and breakouts, and winners. They have proven to me they can't win under pressure. Then the Rams, well, they are the Rams.
