    Defensive Rookie of the Year: Manti Te'o
    Comeback Player of the Year: Santonio Holmes

    Surprise Team (Good): Tennessee Titans 10-6
    Surprise Team (Bad): Baltimore Ravens 8-8, 2nd season in a row the defending champs don't make the playoffs. Think the Colts & Redskins will struggle to a max 7 win seasons also.

    Breakout Player: Jake Locker, I predicted Locker last year and it didn't go so well but 2nd times a charm. Excellent o-line, CJ2K and some excellent receivers will lead him to a 3800 yards 20 td's to 9 int's season

    Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Michael Vick. I predicted this last year and got it spot on. He is still a turnover prone, injury prone QB. Nick Foles needs to be made starter for the Eagles to get going in the right direction

    Audacious Prediction of the Season: 4 players rush for over 1800 yards. Spiller, AP, Shady McCoy & CJ2K

    Your own team: New York Giants
    Regular Season Record: 10-6

    Does not compute!

    I just reckon he improves his TD-INT rate, and Wallace stays under 1000 yards, which qualifies as a disappointment for such a big FA.

    Offensive Rookie of the Year: Eddie Lacy (Packers) Boom!!!
    Defensive Rookie of the Year: Dion Jordan (Dolphins)
    Comeback Player of the Year: Rob Gronkowski (Patriots)

    Surprise Team (Good): Cincinnati Bengals (Winning first playoff game in 25 years) Close...ish!
    Surprise Team (Bad): Pittsburgh Steelers (As above: rebuilding time).
    Breakout Player: Vontae Davis (Colts) -- leads league in Interceptions; becomes elite Had his moments. Way off though
    Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Robert Griffin III (Washington) -- Read option will be less effective, 2nd ACL tear WILL affect him.

    Audacious Prediction of the Season: Aaron Hernandez gets 35 years, put in a cell with Bradley Manning and decides he wants to live out the rest of his life as a woman.

    Your own team:Indianapolis Colts
    Regular Season Record: 12-4
    Best Rookie: Bjoern Werner
    Most looking forward to seeing: "No-coast" Offense play havoc with the league.
    Not a million miles. 6/8 on division winners. Not bad on the awards or championship. Overestimated my own team slightly, but we got hurt badly.

    Defensive Rookie of the Year: Manti Te'o
    Comeback Player of the Year: Santonio Holmes

    Surprise Team (Good): Tennessee Titans 10-6
    Surprise Team (Bad): Baltimore Ravens 8-8, 2nd season in a row the defending champs don't make the playoffs. Think the Colts & Redskins will struggle to a max 7 win seasons also.

    Breakout Player: Jake Locker, I predicted Locker last year and it didn't go so well but 2nd times a charm. Excellent o-line, CJ2K and some excellent receivers will lead him to a 3800 yards 20 td's to 9 int's season

    Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Michael Vick. I predicted this last year and got it spot on. He is still a turnover prone, injury prone QB. Nick Foles needs to be made starter for the Eagles to get going in the right direction

    Audacious Prediction of the Season: 4 players rush for over 1800 yards. Spiller, AP, Shady McCoy & CJ2K

    Your own team: New York Giants
    Regular Season Record: 10-6
    Best Rookie: Damontre Moore
    Most looking forward to seein/B] David Wilson being electric, a rejuvenated pass-rush and Prince Amukamara becoming a top 5 CB


    Generally speaking I haven't got a clue about NFL it seems. Got the Ravens & Skins spot on. Only getting 5 play off teams was awful.

    Mike Vick as over hyped player is shooting fish in a barrell really.

    Did rather well predicting the divisions & playoffs. The rest of the them are rubbish, bar the surprise teams.
