League Predictions Thread

[Grizzafted]

That time of the year again, crack your beers and make inane predictions that, should they come true, will allow you to label yourself a "genius," and, if they plunge to the ground as the mindlessly pointless guesses they are, nobody will remember anyway.

Here's mine:

- The Jets will barely crack .500, and Kellen Clemens will be starting by Week 10.

- Jay Cutler will flash brilliance at times, but make crucial mistakes, and the Broncos will miss the playoffs again.

- The Saints are going to slide to the middle of the NFC pack and the Carolina Panthers will take the division and make a surprising playoff run.

- The Patriots will regret not drafting Paul Posluzny.

- The Chargers will get homefield advantage in the playoffs, again, and will yet again lose to the Patriots at Qualcomm in the AFC championship.

- Tony Romo will emerge as the real thing, and will lead the NFC in passing yards and QB efficiency.

- The Tom Coughlin era will come crashing down to the NFC East basement, dragging Eli Manning, who will finish the season with a QB rating under 80, with him.

- The Washington Redskins will be a surprise playoff team. Both wildcards will yet again be NFC East teams.

- Arizona, St. Louis, and SF will contend, but the NFC West still belongs to Seattle.

- Miami will be a non-factor by Week 7.

- Laurence Maroney will rush for 1,400 yards.

- The surprise playoff team in the AFC will be the Oakland Raiders; Daunte Culpepper will have a surprisingly good year and Southern California will yet again have a controversy over a #1 draft pick QB riding the bench.

- PATRIOTS 32 DALLAS 21 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joey Harrington will have a career year.

The Raiders will win the AFC West.

Anquan Boldin will lead the league in receiving yards.

The Chargers will beat us in week 2 but fail to reach the playoffs after a mid-season slide.

Steve McNair will start every game for the Ravens, but they will fail to win a playoff game this year.

The Vikings will have purple jerseys for half their games.

I will get at least two of these predictions correct (this one included).
