You have the Bengals dead last? I went back and checked your predictions for last year, and you had the Bengals in last at 4-12. The Bengals went 10-6. Then I went back to 2011, and you again had the Bengals in last place again. Both these years the Bengals went to the playoffs. Now I can understand you putting them in last in 2011 because 2010 was dismal, Carson Palmer left, and the whole team was shaken up. However, I don’t understand why in 2012 and this year. I’m as big a cynic as any with this team, but with two playoff appearances in the last two years, the Browns finishing in dead last the last two years, and a very solid team, I don’t see how you have them in last place. I’m not saying they will go to the playoffs, although they could. I’m just saying I don’t think they’ll be dead last.
Dallas over San Fran? u got to be kidding. not going to happen. dallas wont even be in the playoffs
niners fan here, but yeah, seahawks are dangerous. it could be their year.
still not totally on the kapernick bus, last year he was a novelty, now defense will be ready for him, and the history of scrambling QB’s isnt good, they always get hurt. what then niners?
i can see seattle making a strong run.
i do think that denver could go all the way though.
In their second preseason game last night, I cannot say they looked awesome. They did great on all out blitzes but not so good otherwise against OAKLAND.
As much as I like the Steelers, no way they make it to the playoffs.
If they do...they wont make it pass the first round
The Rams have the speed on Defense to beat “rabbit” QB’s like Kaepernick, Wilson and RG3 as proven last year and they have gotten better on both sides of the ball using the haul of draft picks they got by trading the RG3 pick.
And as mentioned, teams have had an off-season to watch film and to figure out the “Pistol” offense.
In STL, we might be seeing The Greatest Show on Turf, Pt. II
How will teams stop Tavon Austin, Stedman Bailey, Cook, Kendricks, Quick, Pettis, Givens and Sam Bradford, who will be in the same system for the first time in his career?
Bradford posted a respectable 82.7 QB Rating on a team with very little help up front or receivers to throw to.
The Rams have bolstered their OL with the signing of FA Jake Long, moved Roger Saffold from LT to RT, drafted Barrett Jones and drafted several speedy and productive WR’s and acquired the speedy 6’5” TE Jared Cook.
Again, the Rams beat SF and SEA and tied SF in their first meeting of the season, a game they should have easily won and they went 4-1-1 in the NFC West.
The Rams will surprise a lot of people this season and they will also be fun to watch with the speedy Tavon Austin playing in the slot, lining up wide or even in the backfield as well as returning Punts and Kicks.
This kid is something special and he’s not cocky or arrogant. After he scores, he just hands the ball to the ref.
We just might see both Wild Card teams coming out of the NFC West.
Romo has been surrounded by talent, but he just can’t seem to make the play when his team needs it.
I like your predictions! But with Jerry still leading the Cowboys, they’ll surely find a way to end up being mediocre. :-(
Correction: untilled Jerry goes, they’ll be lucky to make the playoffs.
Dallas has a problem and only “al_c” got it right on the nose.
Romo’s a good quarterback that could be great one if only he had a O line to operate behind.
Instead he's constantly on the run trying to buy time looking for a open receiver. Which ain't easy when every opposing team knows you ain't got a running game.
It's owner “Jerrah” Jones and his over sized ego that fills Cowboy...er.....AT&T stadium who thinks he's an GM but constantly overpays rundown, second rate rejects for real linemen.
And if the Cowboys have another 8-8 year, it wouldn't be because of Romo....
I am not anti-Romo, never been before anyway. I just think its time to get to the playoffs. He makes too many mistakes and always at the worst times.
Amen, brother!
I got the AFC championship game right.
There is still good opportunity for the prediction at post number five to come true. Interesting, I think.
There is no way the Niners will beat Seattle this year.
You got the correct teams, kudos, but we don’t know the outcome yet. Superbowl could be Broncos vs Niners, although I think there are people who would like to see Belichek and Carroll coach against each other in XLVIII.
