Fearless Forecasting

At last, the NFL season is upon us. Here's how I see things shaking out in each division, and of course the Super Bowl...

NFC East--Dallas Cowboys: The best team in a tight division. A surprise pick...I think Washington shoots past Philly and the Giants for second place.
NFC North--Minnesota Vikings: Adrian Peterson and a better defense will be enough to hold off the Pack.
NFC South--Atlanta Falcons. That's right, the Atlanta Falcons. Don't worry Harry Connick Jr., the Saints will still make the playoffs.
NFC West--San Francisco 49ers: Unless Alex Smith completely implodes, San Fran is the class of this weak bunch.

AFC East--Miami Dolphins: Bill Parcels has done his usual great job building this team. They're simply more balanced than the Jets and the Patriots.
AFC North--Baltimore Ravens: T.J. Houshmandzadeh just made a good team even better. The Ravens are solid all the way around.
AFC South--Indianapolis Colts: The easiest selection anyone will ever have to make, unless Peyton Manning is abducted by aliens or something.
AFC West--San Diego Chargers: The Chiefs and Raiders are improving, but it's still no contest out west. Also, look for Denver to take a big step backwards.

Super Bowl--I love the Ravens this year. Great coach, great defense, great running game, solid receivers, and a young quarterback on the rise. I'll take Baltimore over the Saints, with Joe Flacco as Super Bowl MVP. Hopefully he shaves that unibrow before leaving for Disneyland.
