The Vikes are 31/1 on Betfair at the moment.

:eek::eek::eek: 59/1 on Betfair and that wouldn't tempt me. They won't win the AFC West and may even struggle to stay ahead of the Raiders. Besides I think the leading NFC contenders have a better chance as I think the AFC is more competitive, in that the top 5 teams with the bookies are the Patriots, Chargers, Cowboys, Colts and Jaguars(4 from the AFC). So that suggests that even getting to the Superbowl is harder from the AFC.

Despite this though and being a Raider fan, I think the Steelers might go pretty well this year, so looking beyond the obvious top 5 teams I would go for them.

vikes were 16/1 on paddypower when i checked earlier

Has to be the Patriots

Can you see the Jags or Vikings beating the Patriots?

At least the Colts and Chargers have a chance but at this early stage the Patriots would be favoured to beat them home or away

super super chargers

I'd like to say Giants though I have a feeling it'll be the Chargers 'cause I think they'll win the Wembley game and set a trend of the team that wins at Wembley wins the Super Bowl.

Any pick outside of the Patriots, Colts, Chargers and Cowboys is realistically an outside shout. For one outside pick that is good from each conference I'd have the Browns and the Panthers.

The Browns will have a really sick offense though there are questions about the D and whether Anderson can get it donefor a whole season. Noises from the Panthers are that Delhomme is in great shape and they have some key defensive players in contract years who are ready to come out and produce big years.

Chargers......

Backed em already.

I expect the Patriots to be in the running again (although not unbeaten in the reg season). I see the Chargers as the team on the rise this year. They might make the break through to the big one.

Chucky the tree

As long as Norv Turner is C of SD I just cant see them winning a SB. Viking have a good chance, but I say that every year and the NFC is so open. I wouldnt be suprised to see the saints make a run for it either.

AFC is the usually with the colts,pats, steelers and SD most likely to take their divisions. I think the jags have a good chance of pipping the colts this year though.

malinh

I am a Chargers fan and thought we were good enough on both sides of the ball to run the Colt, Pats and jags close for the AFC and then sure who knows. merriman is huge loss

i like the Saints in the NFC as possibly an outsider for the Super Bowl

Who do u think shoulda got the job instead of Norv?. I would have agreed bigtime before the 07 season but I watched v v closely how Norv kept the thing together when it looked like a nuclear bomb was about to go off in the locker room early on. And then to win out until the Championship game when all our best players were injured. I believe he did a great job and will bring them to the big one this year.

I think things could come together for the Cowboys this year. When you look at some of their players they look worth a punt: Romo, Barber, Adam Jones, TO (if stays fit), Ware.

Although I'll be rooting for Chargers.

I go for the Patriots. The pain of losing the super bowl will drive them on to finish the job so to speak.

Packers.

Cos I'm completely biased.

Rodgers to exceed expectations. And not to throw an interception in OT in the championship play off...

Dr.Slurm

Obviously I think the Colts could do it, but from a non homer perspective I'd go with the Cowboys.

mdwexford

Dallas ftw, agree with Minnesota as a lively outsider.

evil_seed

chargers & saints in the SB. chargers to win

death1234567

1. Cowboys
2. Colts
3. Jag's
Can't see anyone outisde of those three winning it.

eZe^

I can't see past the colts... But that may be because I'm wearing colts tinted glasses! :pac:

Pherekydes

Packers to win. By the time the season is over the Packers' fans will be asking "Brett who?" :pac:

It's weird, the sport's writer's back in the US seem to be split between "Colts will suck and the Chargers will win the SB" or "LT is past it and Merriman is f***ed and the Colts are not going to die down" - quite a few of them tip the Colts, but they're split.But personally, and I hate to say it, but I can't see past the Pats. Saying that though, if Manning, Freeney, and Sanders are fit (having Saturday back would help too), and Harrison does what he can do, then I think the Colts will be the best Colts side we've seen yet, and strong SB contenders.

Harsh. That happens when you've a rocket for an arm, but trust me without that guys gunslinger style, the Packers would have one less title. If he'd made that pass, you'd be talking about the man like he was Brett of Nazerath. And after 5 and a half thousand completions, it sucks that a GB fan would use that one throw against him.

The colts are too riddled with injuries and hence why no one tips them. Saturday is a huge loss also and is out min 6 weeks. And with Mannings go to guy in Harrison still struggling you cant blame the pundits. The chargers problem though is that they suck balls in the playoffs. They choke quite simply. They actually on paper have one of the AFC's strongest teams but blow it in the playoffs.

From heyjude: about Broncos:

59/1 on Betfair and that wouldn't tempt me. They won't win the AFC West and may even struggle to stay ahead of the Raiders.

Well...........I'll put on a tenner on that 59/1, thank u very much

Ain't hindsight wonderful :rolleyes:

Mind you, who was to know that after 2 games, the Chargers and Jags would be 0-2 and Brady would be gone for the season. I suppose that's why pre-season predictions are harder than betting 'in-running'.

Prefabsprouter

The Raiders

Ok, seriously, The Raiders

kmart6

When Brady went down I woulda went Colts straight away...but with losing Clark and Ugho...coupled with The Beast Sanders now gone for what could be up to 6 weeks I can't think of who's going to be there! But then again think about it more, I'd say Dallas have a very very good chance with the situations at New England and Indy!

Clark and Saturday should be back for the Jags game, which will make a massive difference to the offense. If the Colts make the Playoffs (yes, IF), they should be in good shape by then, injury-wise. Certainly in better shape than a lot of the other Usual suspects. My money is still on the Colts, but not with as much confidence it must be said.

kmart6

Just after noticing there that both are off the injury list since yesterday, but I think the loss of Sanders could be bigger as the Defence was really struggling against the run!
