AFC North: Baltimore Ravens
AFC South: Houston Texans, Wade Philips will sort the D and it'll all come together. I know the Texans flatter to deceive every year but this is the year I reckon
AFC East: New England Patriots
AFC West: Kansas City Chiefs, I love their offseason signings, it's up and up.
NFC North: Green Bay Packers
NFC South: New Orleans Saints, poor running game last year hurt but this should be improved this year
NFC East: Philadelphia Eagles
NFC West: St. Louis Rams
AFC Championship: New England Patriots vs Baltimore Ravens
NFC Championship: Philadelphia Eagles vs New Orleans Saints, Eagles to come up short yet again
Superbowl: Baltimore Ravens vs New Orleans Saints
Superbowl Winner: Baltimore Ravens :cool:
"Surprise" Team: Detroit Lions, gonna get a wildcard slot. Though I don't think the Lions are a surprise team anymore
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Team: Chicago Bears, will miss the playoffs despite last years deep playoff run
Worst Team: Cincinnati Bengals and they need to start Bruce Gradowski sooner rather then later. So many problems and a lot of them due to their owner
Off MVP: Drew Brees, I'm need to think about this one and may edit before the deadline
Def MVP: Tamba Hali, beast of a player
Off Rookie MVP: Julio Jones
Def Rookie MVP: Patrick Peterson, top player and with DRC gone will be thrust into a lot of responsibility
"Surprise" Player: James Laurenitis, second round pick for Rams. Top MLB and heading for the probowl and team captaincy.
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Mark Sanchez
Audacious Prediction of the Season: The return of the run game. Three or more players will top 1500 yds, not happened for last three seasons. Ok, not audacious but it's my predication
Your Own Team Baltimore Ravens
Regular season record: 13-3
Best rookie: Jimmy Smith CB
Most looking forward to seeing: New DC this year, secondary coach Chuck Pagano was promoted. A return to "organized chaos" and brutal, aggressive defense, it's what's Baltimore is known for :cool:
At least used to be known for

AFC North:Baltimore Ravens (Pittsburgh often struggle the year after making a superbowl) yup
AFC South:Colts, as always oh god, though i didnt think manning would miss the year
AFC East: Pats yup, hardly went out on a limb though
AFC West: Kansas City Chiefs/Denver Broncos (have a funny feeling, 9-7 will likely win this division) Delighted to have got that right, 9-7 would have won it too!
NFC North: Green Bay Packers yeah
NFC South: New Orleans Saints yeah
NFC East: Philadelphia Eagles nope
NFC West: St. Louis Rams lolno
AFC Championship Game: Baltimore @ New England (though it could as easily be colts, unsure) bang on the money
NFC Championship Game: Philadelphia Eagles @ Green Bay Packers completely wrong
Superbowl: Green Bay to repeat over Baltimore.. though i have a funny feeling about Eagles/Pats rematch either completely wrong
Surprise Team: My very own broncos. Drafting Von Miller, 2 safeties, a DT and 2 linebackers to go along with the additions of Bunkley and Ty Warren with Dumervil, Dawkins and Champ already there means our defence will make marked improvements while our offence is already decent (and outright explosive if Tebow ends up at QB) bang on
Underachieving team: As always, im picking the chargers. May make playoffs but it will be the same old story after that. Given the level of talent there it constitutes underachieving imo. bang on
Worst Team: One of the two ohio teams, literally cannot make my mind up as to who will be worse between the browns and bengals well cleveland predictably sucked but the Colts definitely wasnt expected
MVP: Aaron Rodgers correct
Offensive MVP: Michael Vick no
DPOY: Clay Matthews no
Offensive Rookie MVP: Cam Newton correct
Defensive Rookie MVP: Von Miller delighted to be spot on there
Surprise Player: Darren Sproles( i reckon he'll have a huge impact in New Orleans and to make them forget about Reggie Bush) spot on again
Underachiever of the year: Jay Cutler injury scratched that one but he was doing well up to then
Audacious prediction of the year: Heres a few: Raiders to return to the 5 wins or less club, Pittsburgh to struggle this year by their standards thanks to a SB hangover, Detroit to still struggle despite a talented team, Sam Bradford to have a pro bowl season thanks in part to Josh Mc Daniels, Cutler to feel the heat a bit from the fans after what happened in the NFC conference game and not perform as well due to it. complete fail...except maybe Pitt because not winning at least 1 playoff game= a bad season for them
My own Team (Broncos):
Record: 7-9 to 9-7 mark or thereabouts yup
Best Rookie: Von Miller. However the one im most excited about is our fourth round TE, Julius Thomas. Meant to be lighting up camp and has been touted by some to be in the mould of one Antonio Gates. Right on Miller, jury still very much out on Thomas
Most looking forward to seeing: Us win a meaningful game for the first time in a while, i hope! That and a revitalised Defence under Fox's steady hand. and how. what an enjoyable season
Didnt do too bad...0 -

AFC North: Baltimore Ravens correct
AFC South: Houston Texans, Wade Philips will sort the D and it'll all come together. I know the Texans flatter to deceive every year but this is the year I reckon correct and Wade Philips was indeed the man

AFC West: Kansas City Chiefs, I love their offseason signings, it's up and up. incorrect, sunk like a stone
NFC North: Green Bay Packers correct

NFC East: Philadelphia Eagles bwa ha ha ha, looks like I got suckered by the hype
NFC West: St. Louis Rams incorrect
AFC Championship: New England Patriots vs Baltimore Ravens correct
NFC Championship: Philadelphia Eagles vs New Orleans Saints, Eagles to come up short yet again incorrect
Superbowl: Baltimore Ravens vs New Orleans Saints incorrect
Superbowl Winner: Baltimore Ravens :cool: incorrect
"Surprise" Team: Detroit Lions, gonna get a wildcard slot. Though I don't think the Lions are a surprise team anymore yes for the parts of the season but they have losing streaks too, they did well overall
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Team: Chicago Bears, will miss the playoffs despite last years deep playoff run looked good at times but missed playoffs
Worst Team: Cincinnati Bengals and they need to start Bruce Gradowski sooner rather then later. So many problems and a lot of them due to their owner boy was I wrong here
Off MVP: Drew Brees, I'm need to think about this one and may edit before the deadline correct
Def MVP: Tamba Hali, beast of a player incorrect
Off Rookie MVP: Julio Jones nope
Def Rookie MVP: Patrick Peterson, top player and with DRC gone will be thrust into a lot of responsibility incorrect
"Surprise" Player: James Laurenitis, second round pick for Rams. Top MLB and heading for the probowl and team captaincy. I still rate him, just the team did badly
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Mark Sanchez yes, definitely
Audacious Prediction of the Season: The return of the run game. Three or more players will top 1500 yds, not happened for last three seasons. Ok, not audacious but it's my predication pass game exploded first two months of the season. In the end only MJD for the Jags topped my target
Your Own Team Baltimore Ravens
Regular season record: 13-3 twelve and four
Best rookie: Jimmy Smith CB Pernell McPhee or Torrey Smith did better
Most looking forward to seeing: New DC this year, secondary coach Chuck Pagano was promoted. A return to "organized chaos" and brutal, aggressive defense, it's what's Baltimore is known for :cool:

Most looking forward to seeing: The back of Sparano and Henne and the locating of an offense! It says a lot when I'm hoping we trade for Kyle Orton! - Sparano gone, Henne going, Offensive coach installed
