NFL Predictions

I'm still exhausted from the Blink concert on Sunday, never mind the late night after The Killers show at Red Rocks last night (more on that later).

So this isn't going to be fancy, but I definitely wanted to get my picks up on the board before the season officially kicks off tonight (PS - did you realize that FOOTBALL IS BACK!!!)

Who do you like to win it all? (I actually do feel like Philly could get back to the Big Show but there's no way I'm picking them publicly)

Feel free to post your thoughts below.


NFC EAST

1. Philadelphia*
2. New York*
3. Washington
4. Dallas

NFC NORTH
1. Green Bay*
2. Minnesota*
3. Chicago
4. Detroit

NFC SOUTH
1. Atlanta*
2. New Orleans
3. Carolina
4. Tampa Bay

NFC WEST (Hardest division to pick for me by far, so I'm going with the radical pick)
1. St. Louis*
2. Arizona
3. Seattle
4. San Francisco


AFC EAST

1. New England*
2. Miami
3. New York
4. Buffalo

AFC NORTH
1. Pittsburgh*

NFC WILD CARD ROUND
- Philadelphia over New York

Byes: Green Bay, Atlanta



AFC WILD CARD ROUND
- San Diego over Houston
- Baltimore over Indianapolis

Byes: New England, Pittsburgh


NFC DIVISIONAL ROUND
- Green Bay over Minnesota (In an EPIC playoff game for the ages)
- Philadelphia over Atlanta (Vick scores the game winner in Hotlanta)


AFC DIVISIONAL ROUND
- New England over Baltimore (In the playoffs, comes down to QB. Brady vs. Flacco?)
- Pittsburgh over San Diego (Are the Chargers the greatest non-great team ever?)


NFC CHAMPIONSHIP
- Green Bay over Philadelphia (Birds can't get traction on frozen tundra)


AFC CHAMPIONSHIP

Unfortunately, I think the Patriots* will get their revenge on the Giants in the Super Bowl.

My playoff picks are:

AFC Division winners: NE*, PIT, IND, SD
AFC Wildcards: TEN, BAL

AFC Championship: NE* over PIT

NFC Division winners: NYG, MIN, ATL, ARI
NFC Wildcards: PHI, CHI

NFC Championship: NYG over PHI

As for the top 5 picks in the 2010 NFL Draft: Lions, Rams, Browns, Chiefs, Raiders

Good picks. Couldn't disagree with you more on the NFC West, though. After going 2-14 last year, there is absolutely no way in Hades that the Rams will lead the West division a year later. Being a Niners fan, I would love to see them win it back after a 7 year drought, but I'll have to give the Cardinals the benefit of the doubt, since they were the NFC representatives in the Big Game last year.

Yeah, already regretting that St. Louis pick.

Here is my revised order:

1. Seattle
2. San Fran
3. Arizona
4. St. Louis

Ugh...
