you must be kidding. i mean do you really think the bills are gonna be a playoff team? the jaguars? not to mention your picks for the NFC. c'mon, packers MAYBE. big maybe. but the falcons and giants might combine for enough wins to qualify for the playoffs.

If the Dolphins started with Joey Harrington instead of Daunte Culpepper they woulda been a playoff team. Harrington is a way better pure quarterback than Vick. They have one of the elite tight ends in Alge Crumpler. Warrick Dunn is a decent running back. Their defense is just slightly above average. They're in the NFC South, a terrible divsion and Conference. I stand by this prediction.
Totally love the Jags. Great running game. Bend don't break defense. Pundits have been calling for Garrard over Leftwich for years.
The Giants... I didn't love that pick, but I think they have more than enough talent to compete in a crappy division and they'll probably back pedal their way into the playoffs again.

Looks good... but, I think there's too many repeat teams on there.
BTW, I forgot these:
AFC Championship: Patriots over Ravens
NFC Championship: Eagles over Saints
Superbowl: Patriots over Eagles

true, and i'm not completely convinced the bears will be any good. and the chargers may (will) regress. but ithink there will be alot of repeats this year. and i'm thinking patriots over rams.

The Bears have such a solid defense. A top two or three defense with the Ravens and Patriots (when everyone's done with suspensions and injuries). But those last two teams have one thing Chicago doesn't: a veteran quarterback. Could be tough for them to repeat, plus they had all those off-field distractions.
The Chargers have three cross country games (@ Patriots, @ Jaguars and @ Titans), all of which could be brutal. Plus they've got the Ravens, Bears, and Colts. They have a new head coach that doesn't seem to be much of an improvement over Schottenheimer. On paper they've got the talent, but let's see them play with the high-caliber teams.
The Rams have no defense, and they're getting really old. Yeah, they're in a crap division and conference... so who knows?

After reading this ESPN story wtih Ladanian Tomlinson vocally questioning practically every move of the Charger's front office, and pointing out the new coach Norv Turner's gaudy 58-82-1 record, how could anyone possibly think the Chargers are gonna have a good year?

They have the best team in the NFC.

Yo Bronze Greek: nice pick of the Rams winning the NFC West.
Check it out... if the playoffs started tomorrow, the Chiefs would host the Titans, the Steelers would host the Browns, the Seahawks would host the Giants, and the Buccaneers would host the Lions. Pats, Colts, Cowboys and Packers would have byes.

All right... this week we'll see the Seahawks, Jaguars, Giants and Chargers win.
