bfd’s 2008 Predictions

Wow, we play in a division with 3 1/2 legit teams, and there are couple of divisions that have, at most, one.  It sucks, that’s all.

AFC East:
1. New England - Easiest schedule in football.  The Cheating McCheaters really know how to game the game.  Hate.
2. Buffalo - I have no idea why second.  This division sucks ass.
3. New York Jets - Only because they’ll beat out Miami, not because Favre is good.
4. Miami Dolphins - Won’t be *that* bad, but they’ll be bad.

AFC North
1. Pittsburgh - I’m still a “D” first kind of guy.
2. Baltimore - See above.
3. Cleveland - Because Horse Balls > Ocho Cinco.
4. Cincinnati - But they will lead the league in felonies, so they’ve got that goin’ for ‘em.

AFC South
1. Indianapolis - I’ll burn my own eyes out for that, thank you.
2. Jacksonville* - I think they’ve lost too much on the defensive side and regression to the mean is a bitch on the offense.
3. Houston Texans* - I think our offense, while not elite, will be more than good enough.  Still have serious doubts about the D.
4. BE-SFs - I expect regression to the mean from their D, and flat-out regression on offense.  Still, Chris Johnson will be exciting to watch.  I wonder if he can throw?

AFC West
1. San Diego - Brings some talent to the table across the board.
2. Denver - I think Shanahan has lost some of his mojo.
3. Oakland - Somebody has to be third, and the CBs are strong.
4. Kansas City - Wow, talk about Teh Suck.

NFC East
1. Philadelphia - Even if McNabb gets hurt, I really like Kolb.
2. New York Giants* - Losing the PoopMaster hurts, but they’ve proven the ability to adjust.
3. Dallas - This team is one injury away from complete mediocrity.
4. Washington - If I had to name one “Surprise Team,” this would be the one.

NFC North
1. Minnesota - Not as good as some people think, but Tavaris will be solid enough.
2. Green Bay* - And it’ll all be Aaron Rodgers’ fault….or the shitty CBs.  I’ll go with the latter.
3. Chicago - It’s about the “D” and that they got rid of Benson.
4. Detroit - It’s Detroit!  WTF else do you expect?

NFC South
1. Tampa Bay - I dunno why.  Just a hunch.
2. New Orleans - Hard choice between them and Carolina.  Their key will be keeping Reggie Bust off the field.
3. Carolina - Actually, the difference is losing Punchout Steve Smith for two games.
4. Atlanta - Rey Maualuga?  Michael Oher?  Who will they take #1 overall?  I’ll go with Michael Crabtree.

NFC West
1. Arizona - Based on the defense and that Leinart bongs with hot underaged chicks.
2. Seattle - I have zero faith in their offense.
3. St. Louis - Marc Bulger got hurt reading this.
4. San Francisco - Can you imagine watching the 49ers and Rams play?  Twice???

AFC Championship Game:
Pittsburgh over New England

NFC Championship Game:
Philadelphia over Tampa Bay

Super Bowl:
Philadelphia over Pittsburgh

Wow, if we both picked Philadelpha, then Durga help us all.

And, before you criticize, consider that my first response will be to moon you.  Via email.  It’ll be a real prick pic.

Edit: I accidentally left the * on Seattle when I changed my mind to Green Bay.  Thanks to bigwood for announcing to the world I’m a moron.

    Actually, I think Jacksonville leads the league in felonies now…….. and will again.

    No way Pittsburgh is going to the Super Bowl, but I don’t hate any of the rest of it. I’d take Baltimore in that division mostly because I think everyone else in it is going to fall off a few games, and there’s no way the Ravens can get any worse.

    I’ll take solace in the fact that the guy who just ripped on my Rams also picked 7 playoff teams for the NFC.

    We both have Pittsburgh making the Super Bowl. And seems to be a lot of Philly love ’round here (myself included).

    @bigwood25: Dammit! A little too quick on the paste.
    -
    @beef: No no, they are better for it.
    -
    @grungedave: As long as Chris Henry is on the Bengals, they win by default.

    “Michael Crabtree”

    Quite frankly, that name sounds made-up. Also, you forgot that the Carinals are still the Cardinals. The curse of the Snake has not yet worn off.

    @nash: Tech is kinda like the little brother you beat up all the time, but they are still just too damn dumb to pick on anymore than that.

    @BFD: I’m tempted to criticize your predictions just so I can get the pic! You know you wanna send it. Why has everyone gotta pick on KC?(I already know the answer…I’m just being whiny)
