Predictions for the 2009-2010 NFL

NFC East- Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles have one of the best teams in football led by veterans Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook. It will be interesting to see how Vick fits in.

NFC North- Minnesota Vikings. Brett Favre is just what the doctor ordered in Minnesota. Look for him to get the ball to Adrian Peterson as much as possible, manage the game like an MVP, and lead his team to 12 victories.

NFC South- Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons have a very exciting offense led by the game’s next great quarterback, Matt Ryan. He won’t have to do it himself, getting plenty of help from Michael Turner, Tony Gonzales, and Roddy White. There were questions about the defense, but they shut down the Dolphins in Week 1.

NFC West- Seattle Seahawks. Arizona won this division last year going 9-7. Look for the Seahawks to surprise some people behind veteran QB Matt Hasselbeck, an explosive, talented defense, and an easy schedule.
NFC Wild Card Contenders- New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, Carolina Panthers, Arizona Cardinals.

AFC East- New England Patriots. Tom Brady is back and ready to lead his team back to the Super Bowl. A young defense will be the only question mark for the team of the decade.

AFC North- Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh looks to defend its title with basically the same team that brought home the Lombardi Trophy last year. An early injury to superstar Troy Polamalu hurts, but the Steelers are still one of the league’s best.

AFC South- Indianapolis Colts. Despite a few miscues in Week 1, look for Peyton Manning to help first year Head Coach Jim Caldwell lead the Colts back to AFC South supremacy. 

AFC West- San Diego Chargers. The Chargers and LaDanian Tomlinson will run away with this division mainly because everyone else in the division stinks. AFC Wild Card Contenders- Tennessee Titans, Baltimore Ravens, New York Jets. 

Super Bowl XLIV- Philadelphia Eagles over New England Patriots.
