NFL season predictions

So here's my predictions for what the divisions and playoffs will look like at the end of the NFL season

AFC East:                                              AFC North:                                        AFC South:
Patriots                                                   Bengals                                              Colts
Jets                                                         Ravens                                               Texans
Bills                                                         Browns                                               Titans
Dolphins                                                  Steelers                                              Jaguars


AFC West
Broncos
Raiders
Chargers
Chiefs

Wildcards
Ravens
Browns


For some reason lots of people have the Dolphins doing decent. I just don't see it. I see the Jets and Bills putting up a minor fight but ultimately loosing out again to Bill Belichek and Tom Brady. In the AFC North you could pretty much put all four teams into a hat and pick them and whatever you get is the standings. The Bengals are looking as strong as they have in a long time. The Browns are up and coming and have the potential to do something for the first time in a long time and the Ravens and Steelers are both old and declining, but it would be foolish to completely count out both. In the AFC South the Colts are going to be very strong ultimately fighting out a Texans team that could either hang around all season or fall flat on their faces. And in the AFC West, who really cares beyond the Broncos? There really isn't much competition there.

NFC East                                         NFC North                                  NFC South
Redskins                                           Packers                                        Falcons
Giants                                               Bears                                            Saints
Cowboys                                          Lions                                             Panthers
Eagles                                               Vikings                                          Buccaneers

NFC West
49ers
Seahawks
Cardinals
Rams

Wildcards
Giants
Seahawks

It will be interesting to see what the Cowboys do in a competitive NFC East. Is Tony Romo a legitimate playoff QB? He hasn't proven it yet, and I don't think he'll get a chance to prove it either this season. Redskins take this division as long as RGIII stays healthy. I'm slightly biased but I have the Packers taking the NFC North. However, there's a bit of a question if their defense can keep up with the highpowered offense and be able to stop other very competitive teams in their division. I think they'll win the division, but come playoff time you need more than a high powered offense. In the South Matt Ryan better make good on his new contract and I think he will. Not only will he win the division, but he's going to win the Falcons a superbowl this year. In the west are two of the best defenses in the league and I think both those teams make the playoffs. The Cardinals and Rams won't be able to match them.

Superbowl pick: Falcons over the Colts
