10 days until the regular season begins...just to let you know I'm not biased my fav. team is the Raiders and look where I put them... AFC WEST San Diego...10-6...Chargers are still contenders because of Rivers of course. Denver...8-8...The Broncos have a talented team, but right now they are the most injured team in the league. Oakland...7-9...Even if Campbell doesn't do well, Gradkowski is a good quarterback who can win. Kansas City...4-12...Without Eric Berry I would have them at 2 wins. AFC EAST New York...12-4...Forget what skeptics are saying already, the Jets have a TEAM this year. New England...10-6...Until Tom Brady retires, the Pats are going to get at least 10 wins every season. Miami...7-9...The Dolphins have improved, but it's a tough division they're swimming in. Buffalo...2-14...With the first pick of the 2011 draft, the Buffalo Bills select... AFC NORTH Cincinatti...10-6...Carson Palmer, Chad Johnson (I mean, Ochocinco), and Terell Owens: most dangerous passing core in the league. Baltimore...9-7...Best defense, improved offense, tough schedule. Pittsburgh...7-9...Ben comes back when the Steelers are in a 1-3 hole to start the season. Cleveland...4-12...Hopefully Colt McCoy isn't the new Brady Quinn. AFC SOUTH Indianapolis...12-4...The Colts win 12 games every year, this is no surprise. Houston...The Texans have a team that's ready to do something this year and compete with the Colts for the division title. Tennessee...Chris Johnson is the best back in the AFC, but Vince Young has not proved he's worthy of leading this team. Jacksonville...3-13...Jack Del Rio will have a tough time lighting a fire under a team with little depth. NFC WEST San Fransisco...11-5...Alex Smith is finally ready to take a talented team to the playoffs. Arizona...8-8...They lost Anquan Boldin and more importantly Kurt Warner, two key players in a used-to-be offense. St. Louis...5-11...This is assuming the Rams' coaches make a smart decision and don't start Bradford all season, to let him make the best transition. Seattle...4-12...Rebuilding takes more than a year. NFC EAST Washington...11-5...Donovan McNabb is set for a fantastic season, the Redskins have a good front D and three household-name running backs. Dallas...10-6...There are going to be high expectations this year, but Dallas will let down, failing to make the playoffs. Philadelphia...9-7...McNabb is out, Westbrook is out, but the Eagles still look strong on offense. New York...6-10...Eli Manning will be looking for a new team next year. NFC NORTH Green Bay...12-4...Remember when Aaron Rodgers was drafted and no one could figure it out because Favre was the man in Green Bay for a while? Sometimes it takes six years for a quarterback to be the most dangerous in the NFL. Minnesota...11-5...Speaking of Brett Favre, the old man is going to have another impressive season with good receivers and the best running back in the league, and Jared Allen will win defense POY honors. Detroit...8-8...All those draft picks are coming together to form a pretty good looking future for the Lions. Chicago...2-14...The Bears will go 0-6 in the NFL's toughest division. NFC SOUTH New Orleans...12-4...Drew Brees throws the ball very quickly to a group of fast receivers all day long. That is a nightmare for defensive backs. Atlanta...10-6...The Falcons have enough this year to make a wildcard run. Look out for Michael Turner. Carolina...5-11...One of those "boring teams', they just lack any explosive and really talented players. Tampa Bay...Struggling offense won't get you anywhere. AFC PLAYOFF TEAMS Jets, Colts, Chargers, Bengals, Texans, Patriots NFC PLAYOFF TEAMS Packers, Saints, Redskins, 49ers, Vikings, Falcons AFC CHAMP Texans over Colts NFC CHAMP Vikings over Packers SB Vikings over Texans YOUR TURN!!!!!!!!!!!!! @Kyle: super bowl teams in the past few years were surprises (seattle in '06, bears in '07, giants in '08, and cardinals in '09) Experts always pick the two best teams for the super bowl , but that definately hasn't been the case @jville um, no research will be required for this one, jaguars are going to have a pretty rough season...
