Your not so obvious predictions for this NFL season

It's very easy to predict NE is going to win the Super Bowl or Atlanta is going to stink

This is a thread for maybe the not so obvious predctions for the upcoming NFL season

Here are some for me off the top of my head, We can look at the end of the year and see how good/bad we did.


1. The man to lead the NFL in TD passes is not named Brady, Manning, Romo or Tavaris Jackson . It is Drew Brees

2. One of these two teams will NOT make the playoffs. Indianapolis or New Engalnd. Leaning towards Indy right now

3. The too much hype teams never seem to work out which means not living up to expectations for these two teams, Cleveland and Minnesota

4. Two teams not getting enough hype that will exceed expectations. Arizona and Carolina. Both will win their divisions.

5. Scott Linehan of St. Louis is fired before Game 8 of this season

6. Daunte Culpepper comes out of retirement to lead the Miami Dolphins to the playoffs , but seriously he is healthy now supposedly and is probably better than 40% of NFL QB's on rosters now.

7. This year's version of AP is Jonathan Stewart of Carolina. Will end up being the NFL Rookie of the Year.

8. Despite their win last night, The Giants struggle to get to .500 this year.

9. Another NFL scandal will rear its ugly head, maybe an NFL player involved in gambling scandal

10. Comeback player of the year is Ricky Williams. Difference in liking big money to needing big money. Incentive is certainly there for a big season from him.

Randy Moss and/or TO will have a season ending injury by mid-season.

Kansas City and/or Atlanta will have a REALLY good chance at running the table in reverse.

Brett Favre bombs in New York? I'm a Packer and a Brett Favre fan, but I have to agree with that one.
