Playoff Predictions

by foosball4949 on Sep 9, 2010 11:00 AM PDT

So here we are, the first gameday of the new season: what a great time for everyone to layout their playoff predictions and maps, and claim bragging rights at the end of the season. If I was cleverer I'd come up with some sort of game or point system (probably easy enough, maybe we can revisit it at the end of the season) but for now consider this a dumping ground for everyone's predictions. If you like this idea or think this might be fun, go ahead and rec it so it stays up. And now my predictions after the jump, add yours in the comments!

AFC:

Division Winners: Jets, Colts, Ravens, Chargers

Wild Cards: Raiders (yes, seriously), Patriots

Other Predictions: Texans will compete until the final 2 weeks of the season, the Dolphins will lose a tie-breaker to the Pats, the Steelers will do worse after Big Ben returns. The Bills will be the worst team in the AFC.

NFC:

Division Winners: Cowboys, Packers, Saints, 49ers

Wild Cards: Falcons, Vikings

Other Predictions: The worst team in the NFC East will win 7 games. Brett Favre doesn't miss a start, but he doesn't finish at least 2 games. The Lions won't suck. The Bears will be the worst team in the north, it will be Martz deja vu, trying to run his offense with a line that can't protect 7-step drops. Matt Moore is the next Tony Romo. The Niners win 10 games but are still the worst division winner.

AFC Wild Card:

Patriots at Ravens - Ravens win

Raiders at Jets - Jets win

AFC Divisional:

Jets at Colts - Colts win

Ravens at Chargers - Ravens win (poor Norv, probably gets fired)

AFC Championship:

Ravens at Colts - Colts win

NFC Wild Card:

Vikings at 49ers - 49ers win (dare I say this ends Favre's career - permanently)

Falcons at Cowboys - Cowboys win

NFC Divisional:

49ers at Saints - Saints win

Cowboys at Packers - Packers win

NFC Championship:

Saints at Packers - Packers win

SUPER BOWL:

Colts beat Packers 34-28

The Raiders

are almost there. they just need an offensive line, running game, and wide receivers. 5-7 wins.

yeah, though I think they'll run through the rest of the west except the chargers

and pick up a couple cheap wins elsewhere (like last year). Louis Murphy isn’t half bad…and I think they’ve got the D to take them to a wild card…they’re my ‘going out on a limb’ pick

ya i like louis murphy and miller but besides them they dont have anything else on offense.

I think the packers are overrated

They will lose to the Vikings twice this year and the Vikings will win the north.

what? no the packers are a legit team this year

by mikeinsp on Sep 9, 2010 12:29 PM PDT up reply actions

yeah I think rodgers is the real deal (dammit)

and they’re d has the right mix of vet savy and youth

though I still f#^#$$*@!! hate them

They'll probably lose to the Vikings

But mainly because the Vikings can handle the Packers well.

Other teams? Not so much…

My only concern is their secondary, but I think it can hold up for another season.

What we've got here is a failure to communicate.

Though the goal of this post

was to have everyone else layout their own predictions and we can see how everyone does at the end of the year…

Cowboys win it all

Miles Austin is dating Kim Kardashian. Last year every team that had a player dating a player that team won their respective league. I.E Lamar Odom and the Lakers as well as the NO Saints and Reggie Bush.
