Falcons won't be third place. They'll probably win 14 games and be irrelevant in the playoffs like they are every year.

Let's all find a mutual agreement in that the Bucs will again be terrible this year.

I may be alone in this but I'm out on Freeman. Bill Simmons mancrush aside, I just don't think he's got it.

I don't think he's bad or anything. I just think his ceiling is like... top-12? There's just so many great QBs this season that I can't see him really elevating himself above the pack.

I'm not sold on Freeman either, and the Panthers have a new GM and are still in the midst of a rebuild. I won't put either team as low as a team like the Raiders or Browns, but I'm not really confident either team will make the playoffs.
I do think the Falcons and Saints will both make it, though. Saints have defensive issues but seem to be flying under the radar. Payton being back will make a big difference. |

I think the Falcons are legit but in all honesty this should be the Saints' division to lose. Payton/Brees are IMO the best coach/QB combo going right now in the league.
(Rodgers is better QB but Payton is waayyyyyyyy above McCarthy's level) crossrine |

Think the opposite of it being the Falcons' to lose this year. Saints D won't be as historically horrendous as last year but still has some serious concerns and issues.

The Falcons seem to have a scary amount of depth. I know it's fun to joke about their playoff blunders, but the Ryan/Smith era got off the schnide with a playoff win last year and still came really close to making it to the Super Bowl.
Early prediction (and really, in the NFL any prediction this far out is a total crapshoot) is the Broncos over the Falcons in the SB. Falcons and Niners hook up in the NFC Title game again, this time in SF, and the Falcons return the favor from a year ago. Peyton wins his 2nd ring which finally silences his critics who have ripped him for his numerous one and dones over the year. |

![]() Optimism aside, the NFC East is way too close of a race for me to comfortably pick a division winner, nevermind actually making it to the SB. |

I wouldn't be surprised to see either Falcons or Saints run away with it. Gambling-wise, I'm not touching it though. Gotta lay some money on things I'm more confident in

I wish someone in this thread would make a prediction with balls for once. The Buffalo Bills make the playoffs, the Eagles go to the NFC championship game, something like that. Just say something different. I didn't win TPWW Pro Football Pick Em', TPWW Pro Football Survival, and TPWW Fox Sports Pro Football Fantasy Football all in 2006 by making a bunch of wimpy predictions all year.

I love hating on the Falcons. The best thing about writing the Falcons off every year is that I'm always right.

All bullshit aside, I think the NFC West is probably the best division in football followed by the NFC South and they'll beat the hell out of each other in the regular season. The Super Bowl rep for the NFC will come out of one of those two divisions. It will be either the Falcons or Seahawks taking on the Broncos in New York. |

I'll make a bold prediction. I think that the Cleveland Browns will be an 8 win team. COME AT ME.

Seriously though, about the boldest I'd go is the Bengals in the AFC Title Game. I know they've made the playoffs the last two years and everything but still most people don't view them at that level.
Would the Chiefs making the playoffs be bold? I dunno about that. They were the worst team in football last year but still had a shitload of good players on defense. |

I have a sneaking suspicion that the 9ers/Seahwaks rivalry isn't going to be much of a rivalry.

Chiefs have legit talent on their team. For all Andy Reid's faults and follies, he is a significant upgrade at coach for them. That division (sans Broncos) is wide open. If they can split with the horsies and take care of business they can feasibly be 5-1 in the division, setting them up for at least discussion in the wildcard spot. I could see the Chiefs making noise this year.

As a 9ers fan, I really hope Alex does well on the Chiefs. We put him in so many shitty situations over the years, including last year. He's a much better QB than he was ever able to show on the 9ers, IMO. Last year he was showing how brilliant he could be and then Kaepernick happened.

Alex Smith got the Jason Campbell treatment, and I don't know if he'll really be able to elevate himself to anything other than above-average with a "QB guru" like Harbaugh around him. And, all the praise I just gave to the Chiefs, going from an organization like the 49ers to the Chiefs, not exactly an upgrade.

Balls Prediction: Jags, Cards, and Browns all finish with a record better than the Jets who stick with Sanchez for the whole year.
Semi-Balls Prediction: Adrian Peterson carries the Vikings to another playoff birth and breaks the rushing record. |

That would be awesome. He's a local guy. Don't really want the Bills to do well though, but hope he has a great year.
Don't know about offensive rookie of the year yet. Kenbrell Thompkins impressed me with his play in preseason game one. Pats don't exactly have the targets they used to. Hope he can have a great season. |

Every time I see Dallas Clark's name all I think about is that stupid commercial with Peyton Manning "doing his reads" and then there's some kid in a hallway that whispers "Clark" and he throws it to him for a TD or something. IDK WTF that commercial was even for but fucking hated it.
