2008 season picks

Today kicks off another season in the NFL. It should be an exciting one with a lot of close divisonal races. The AFC East has a new look with Favre in the NY Jets green...but they still wont come close to beating out the Patriots. The NFC North could get crazy between Green Bay and Minnesota and the wild card races will come down to the final weekend again. It is more open this year than last in the AFC I think but I still say the big three are the Patriots, Colts, and Chargers. In the NFC I think the Cowboys are the team to beat but the Vikings and Saints will make a good run at it. I think the Giants will take a step back and miss the playoffs because they are in a tough division and lost some key players this offseason. Here are my season picks

the Pats @ Colts game in Nov will be the highest rated game of the regular season (what a suprise)
the NY media will kill Favre after his first bad game
the jets will have a winning record but miss the playoffs
KC will have the worst record in the AFC altanta will have the worst record in the NFC but michael turner will play well
Donavan McNabb will miss at least 1 game due to injury
Bill Polian and/or Tony Dungy will ***** about something or someone they feel got the benifit of a bad call or poor scheduling decision
someone on the chargers will say something negative about the patriots in the press
