Predict division winners outside of the NFC EAST.

[skinsfaninok]

We already picked our NFC East predictions.. Now let's go with the other 7 divisions in the NFL.

AFC WEST:
1. S.D 11-5 ( Rivers is by far the best QB in the AFC WEST, Enough said)
2. K.C 7-9 ( Long shot but I like KC as a sleeper team, Young and have a good coaching staff)
3. Oakland 6-10 ( Raiders OLine has looked horrible in the preseason and JC isn't a guy that you can count on to carry a team.. Cable will be gone after this season)
4. Denver 6-10 ( I just can't see this team winning 8 games again this season. Run Game is suspect and their D will be hurting without ELVIS)

AFC SOUTH:
1. Indy 12-4 ( Peyton Manning is unstoppable and he has so many weapons to choose from)
2. Houston 9-7 ( I really like this team, Best WR in football and a good QB calling the shots. )
3. Titans 8-8 ( CJ28 Is the funnest player to watch in the entire league, I just don't trust VY that much.. He came on late last season but let's see if he can continue to get better.)
4. Jax 6-10 ( Nice RB in MJD but QB is a huge ? as is their skill position players on offense)

AFC EAST :
1. New England 11-5 ( Brady is back with the best Starting WR combo in the league. Moss and Welker will both have monster years and Rookie TE Aaron Hernandez should fit in well)
2. NYJ 9-7 ( I'm not that high on this team, Sanchez looks AVG at best and the Defense won't be the same without Revis)
3. Miami 8-8 ( Marshall helps but can Chad Henne lead this team to victories? )
4. Buffalo 3-13 ( Outside of Spiller the Bills have nothing on Offense and their Defense won't be able to stop the other teams in their Division, Bills will have the First pick in the '11 draft)

AFC NORTH:
1.Cincy 11-5 ( Bengals Defense was really good last season and they get A.Odom back from injury. Batman and Robin or Gary and Ace? Either way the Bengals should be pretty good on offense.
2 Baltimore 9-7 ( Ravens D is suspect due to injuries, Offense should be better but not enough to win the North.
3.Pittsburgh 7-9 ( Not having Ben for 5 games will kill this team)
4.Cleveland 4-12 ( Not enough on this team to compete for a .500 record)


NFC WEST:
1. SF 9-7 ( 49ers have a good young team and I love that Defense, Alex Smith is still a ? But the division is really bad)
2. Seattle 7-9 ( Seahawks improve from last season because Hasselbeck will be healthy)
3. ARZ 7-9 ( Cards still have some talent but no QB at all, Leinart will probably be benched very soon and D.Anderson won't be that big of an upgrade. With Warner this team would have been a 10 win team.)
4. STL 4-12 ( Sam the Ram looked amazing vs N.E the other night, but He is a rookie and will struggle without any WRs to go to)

NFC SOUTH:
1. N.O 12-4 ( Saints have the same team back as last year. Brees is amazing and he has so many weapons, it's unfair. Expect Bush to be more of a factor also)
2. ATL 8-8 ( Falcons are a solid team and could be a playoff team, This team has had back to back seasons with 9+ wins. That's a franchise best. So i'll say they wont get to 3 straight 9 win seasons.)
3. Carolina 7-9 ( Panthers have a great RB duo, but the D is young and will take time to get better, Matt Moore won't be the starter late in the season)
4. TB 5-11 ( Bucs get a little better but will struggle on offense)

NFC NORTH:
1. GB 12-4 ( Packers are loaded on both sides of the ball, A.Rodgers may be the best QB in the NFC outside of Brees, Charles Woodson has become a superstar)
2. Viks 10-6 ( If healthy watch out! Viks have a SB quality team, but can Favre play at a high level with a Bad ankle and at 41 years old?)
3. Detroit 7-9 ( This is my surprise team in the NFC, Lions have done a great job rebuilding the franchise. Calvin Johnson is as good as it gets a WR, and look out for Jahvid Best)
4. Chicago 7-9 ( Bears will be ok but I don't see this team leap frogging anyone in the division. Cutler has to learn a whole new offense and the WR's are still suspect)

I didn't say they were bad, they are just young. And IDK about a top 5 d, I would say top 10 though

[GTripp0012]

Steelers
Colts
Patriots
Broncos

Vikings
Falcons
uh, Cardinals? 49ers? First one to seven wins gets a hug.

[GTripp0012]

It seems illogical to say that 4-6 games without Ben would kill the Steelers (there are 10-12 other games), unless you're thinking that they won't really improve much when he gets back. If that's the case, then they could be in some trouble.

But even if they can't settle the quarterback issue, they'll start 2-2 at the very least. That start has never killed any team, at least not in my memory. I guess the 2008 Colts only made it back to 12-4 and a wild card after Peyton Manning had some mediocre games with a surgically repaired knee. 12-4 might fail to win the AFC North, but for sure it gets at least a wild card.

[DCtoAZ]

AFC WEST:
1. Oakland 9-7 (McFadden is about to blow up & JC will make us shake our heads)
2. S.D. 8-8 (There luck has run out, Matthews will be nice though)
3. Denver 8-8 (blah blah blah Tebow and a boring cast)
4. KC (um they suck)

** This division is a nightmare **

AFC SOUTH:
1. Indy 12-4 ( hard to argue with 12-4 from these guys)
2. Houston 10-6 (they are just a fun team, AJ*80 and DW*90 are going to be pretty damn good for a pretty long time)
3. Titans 6-10 ( Way to much love for these guys, remember when we went 0-5 ... what'd we do the next year .. barf)
4. Jax 5-11 ( the ship has sailed for Del Rio )

AFC EAST :
1. New England 10-6 ( High octane Offense, Defense will struggle)
2. NYJ 10-6 ( The hype machine will do great, however they will lose tie-breaker to Pats)
3. Miami 9-7 (Fun team to watch, Dansby in the middle will provide D with crazy Turnovers)
4. Buffalo 0-16 (This team makes me cringe)

AFC NORTH:
1.Cincy 13-3 (Something is brewing in Cincy and it's about 30pts a game)
2 Baltimore 8-8(Ed Reed will prove to be a HUGE lose)
3.Pittsburgh 6-10 (You can't win without Fast Willie !)
4.Cleveland 6-10( they will play tough and show signs of improvement)


NFC WEST:
1. AZ 9-7 (tough team on the ground and on D.. QB will be better than expected)
2. Seattle 7-9 ( def a battle with AZ but they lose out with Hasselsuck being injured again)
3. SF 7-9 (Alex Smith --- Child Please)
4. STL 2-12 (Jackson is getting older by the minute, Bradford will break rookie record for INTS)

NFC SOUTH:
1. N.O 14-2 (Loaded team, poised to make a back to back title run)
2. ATL 9-7(Turner is a beast, Matty Ice is a WINNER)
3. Carolina 8-8(I think they play with some serious grit, something about this squad I like)
4. TB 3-13 (BOOOOOOOOOOORING)

NFC NORTH:
1. GB 15-1 (The shit is about to hit the fan, this squad is EXPLOSIVE)
2. Viks 8-8 (The Favre BS finally runs out of steam..moving on to no future QB will be tough for the Vikings and there Fat fans)
3. Detroit 7-9 (They got some positive mojo, Best is going to be sick)
4. Chicago 4-12 (cutler sucks, this year will show that in a bad way)


NFC
Packers

I say they go at best 2-3 without Ben, that means they would have to finish something like 9-2 to win the division.. I just don't see that happening

Eh, maybe, maybe not. Not saying they will go that well if they start 2-3. But if you have them starting 2-3 and finishing 7-9, then you really don't have them improving with Roethlisberger?

I can see that, I just didn't get the "he's out for 4-6 games, so they can't win more than seven this year". It's not like they are going to be 0-6 like Tennessee last year.

Ravens, Steelers, Jets (with Revis) Panthers and then your 5th team.

Also, I said don't be suprised if they are, not saying its a forgone conclusion

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

Not a closet Panthers fan ACE but 3-13?? No way and GB 15-1?? DCtoAZ come on now
