Used a prediction spreadsheet to work through this season. I came up with:

AFC East:

Patriots 15-1
Bills 11-5
Jets 5-11
Dolphins 2-14

AFC North:

Ravens 13-3
Steelers 11-5
Bengals 9-7
Browns 1-15 (ouch!)

AFC South:

Texans 10-6
Titans 8-8
Colts 4-12
Jags 3-13

AFC West:

Chiefs 11-5
Broncos 9-7
Chargers 8-8
Raiders 1-15

NFC East:

Giants 14-2
Eagles 10-6
Cowboys 7-9
Redskins 4-12

NFC North:

Packers 14-2
Lions 11-5
Bears 11-5
Vikings 2-14

NFC South:

Saints 11-5
Buccs 8-8
Falcons 6-10
Panthers 6-10

NFC West:

49ers 11-5
Seahawks 7-9
Rams 7-9
Cardinals 4-12

Going to be fun to look back on that and see how wrong I am

1-15? You wish.

We'll either win the division, or have a top 5 pick. AFC West is a very weak division atm, 2 QBs coming off serious injuries, and 1 team whose only good player is the QB.

All start's again tonight. Feel a 10-6 season coming on, secondary not good enough. I am stacked at RB in fantasy,

McFadden
Turner
Sproles
Mendenhall
Alex Green

Wow.

Buffalo Bills 11-5??
I don't see why people are getting semi's about them this season. Maybe it's the same people who've been getting stiff about Houston for the past 5 years...with hopefully the same results!

Atlanta 6-10?

Off the back of three consecutive winning seasons, with Julio Jones now up to speed and Asante Samuel bolstering the secondary?

Its a quick fire win/loss spreadsheet. Worked out with the above. Some of the records look way out but thats what I ended up with!

Re: The All new NFL Chat thread including playoff talk : Wed Sep 05, 2012 10:49 am  

On the Atlanta 6-10. Probably a bit harsh but I just don't believe in them at the moment. 2 years in a row they've done nothing in the playoffs and I think that'll play on their minds. Probably 8-8 is a fairer reflection.

Mixture of their D-line and a pretty easy schedule

Very good defence.
Good RB - Jackson.
Good WR - Johnson.
Under-rated QB - Fitzpatrick
Decent supporting cast on offence.

I wouldn't be completely shocked if they imploded and finished bottom but they have a great chance to get a Wild Card. They have zero shot of beating out the Cheatriots but the Dolphins will be abysmal as will the Jets.

Wow.

It's a passing league these days Mark (plus Alex Green will play very little this year - maybe a few touches a game). Get a look at my receivers!

As for tonight I think it is already a massive game for the Cowgirls. They promise so much every year and live off past reputation and then bottle it (sadly very much like Liverpool). It is a massive statement game for them. I expect a Giants win though.
