Summer's almost over here in the US, and autumn's just around the corner, which could only mean one thing: the NFL season is here!
And it's that time of the year for me to make my predictions.. So, without further ado, here it is:
AFC:
AFC East: New England Patriots AFC North: Baltimore Ravens AFC South: Indianapolis Colts AFC West: Denver Broncos AFC Wildcards: San Diego Chargers, Pittsburgh Steelers
AFC Champions: Baltimore Ravens
NFC:
NFC East: Dallas Cowboys NFC North: Chicago Bears NFC South: Carolina Panthers NFC West: Seattle Seahawks NFC Wildcards: Atlanta Falcons, Washington Redskins
NFC Champions: Carolina Panthers
So those are my picks. I kinda shocked you guys by picking Baltimore, a non-playoff team last year, in a strong conference to win the AFC this year. Well, they got Steve McNair now, a quality quarterback that the Ravens have been desperately looking for and what seems to be the missing piece that could take them all the way to the super bowl. And their defense is one of the best with Ray Lewis and Ed Reed leading it.
As for the NFC, I think the Panthers are the team to beat and with the addition of wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson, they just became more potent on offense. And they also have Steve Smith and Jake Delhomme. Their defense is still one of the best.
Anyways, I got the Ravens and Panthers in the Super Bowl, with the Ravens winning Super Bowl XLI in Miami. Now that's a shocker hehehe!
Well, those are my predictions. Enjoy this NFL season, and good luck to all of the teams.
