The NFL Predictions Thread

Finally!!! The NFL is back!!
This is easily my favorite time of year. I am a huge fan of the NFL, and place quite a few bets throughout the year. I follow it very very closely, down to some crazy fine details... It's my hobby I guess.

Let's see your predictions for your team or others for the year, the division the conference the the next Super Bowl, whatever.

Once the regular season starts I'll be picking some games against the spread and post them here. I invite others to do the same and see how we turn out.

I am a life long Seahawks fan, so while years (decades!) have been absolutely brutal as a hawks fan, last year was especially great! It was sugar on top that I now live in Denver and am surrounded by Bronco fans, even my wife!

My predictions for a few divisions and conferences:

Seahawks will win the NFC West and be the #2 seed in the NFC with a 12-4 record
Saints will win the NFC South and be the #1 seed in the NFC with a 13-3 record
Seahawks will beat the Saints in NO to move onto the the SB in an attempt to repeat

The Colts will win the AFC South, with ease, and be the #1 Seed in the AFC with a record of 13-3
The Pats will win the AFC East and be the #2 seed in the AFC with a record of 12-4
Broncos will win the AFC West (their division sucks, and are in for a rude awakening playing the NFC west this year) and be the #3 seed w a record of 11-5.

Lets see your predictions!

We are a house divided as they say:

I think my Cardinals are going to give your Seahawks a run for their money.

Nothing you predicted would surprise me, although I don't think the Saints will take the 1 seed...

I assume you meant to say you think the Broncos will go 11-5?

Seattle was a fluke. Another vote for Cardinals Superbowl Championship ring!

Now lets not be crazy!!!

Kidding , kidding.. I can see that being the case this year... AZ was the only team to beat SEA in Seattle in the past 2 full seasons. (should we talk about the ball bouncing off the turf being an interception to end that game?). Cards covered on that game, and got the W. SF looks to be taking a step back. NFC West is going to be tough again.

Correct! And thank you, anytime I can add a loss to the Bronco's I'm happy!

Patriots #1 AFC Seed
Colts #2
Bengals #3
Chargers #4

Broncos WC
Steelers WC

Saints #1 NFC Seed
Seahawks #2
Green Bay #3
Eagles #4

Bears WC
Cardinals WC

I think Denver takes a huge step back after the embarrassment of the super bowl, plus they have a much harder schedule than last year (10-6). Sure they'll make the playoffs as the wild card but San Diego wins the division (11-5), and no record breaking stats this year. I think the NFC West may sweep the AFC West. The Saint may break Denver's record from last year, and face the Patriots in the SB. My Raiders climb out of the basement of the AFC West, but yet again fail to put up a winning record (7-9), but are competitive in most of their games unlike last year from a revamped roster.
