2010 NFL Preview, predictions, picks and rants. NFC!

The NFL is set to start today with the defending Super Bowl champs the New Orleans Saints set to square-off against the Minnesota Vikings. Allow me to start off by saying that there was no way that Brett Favre wasn't going to play this year. Although he did have a really good year last year, I think that he came back simply because he is an ego-maniac! What other player has continually held their whole team hostage while "Trying to figure out their next move" Well.... besides maybe Lebron James? No one. It's this crazy fascination that the NFL has with QB's. He's able to get away with it... But I digress, that's whole other argument for another time.

Let's get to some predictions. Obviously, only 6 teams make the playoffs out of each conference. So let's start with the NFC:

NFC WEST: This division is probably the weakest division in football and for good reason. 
  • The Rams are obviously in rebuild mode with their new QB Bradford, So I'm not expecting much from them. My predicted 2010 record, 3-13.
  • The Seahawks were the class of this division a few years back. Even making it to the superbowl in 2006. But right now I think they are heading in the wrong direction with former USC head coach Pete Carroll. He went as far as cutting a very productive WR in T.J. Houshmanzadeh in favor of untested former 1st rounder Mike Williams formerly of USC. He seems to be picking up all the former Trojans that played under him and trying, for some odd reason to resurrect their careers. So I'm really not expecting much of them this year either. My predicted 2010 record, 5-11.
  • The Cardinals have been dominating this division for the last few years, but this is the year that I think they take a step back. After losing QB Kurt Warner to retirement, Anquan Boldin in trade to the Ravens and MLB Karlos Dansby I don't think that they have the talent or the leadership to stay atop the division or even take a wild card spot in the playoffs. My predicted 2010 record, 7-9.
  • That Leads us to the San Francisco 49ers. I am personally very high on this team this year. The two things that I look at when I look for a Super Bowl contender are an above average Run Game and a lights out Defense. It's been proven in the past that a team can win it with these two traits in their favor even if they have an average/below average QB. i.e. 2001 Ravens w/ Dilfer, 2003 Bucs w/ Johnson and 2008 Giants w/ Eli Manning. They have the tools and the talent to get them far into the playoffs. The one thing that they do lack though is the experience and veteran leadership to get them farther. My predicted 2010 record, 11-5.
NFC SOUTH: This division is where the Super Bowl Champs reside. Could they be staring down a repeat?
  • Lets start off with the Tampa Bay Bucaneers. Josh Johnson at QB. Ok, next. My predicted 2010 record, 3-13.
  • Now let's go to the Carolina Panthers. Matt Moore at QB. Double next. My predicted 2010 record, 4-12.
  • The Atlanta Falcons... Let's see Good defense, good young QB, good power run game. The one thing that this team hinges on is the running of RB Michael "the burner" Turner. Two years ago The Burner tore up the league and in turn made rookie QB Matt Ryan look really good. Last year The Burner was injured and Matt Ryan took a step back. For this team to get back to the playoffs Turner needs to stay healthy and QB Ryan has to step up into being a game changer, instead of a game manager. My predicted 2010 record, 10-6
  • Now, onto the Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints! I really like this teams chances at repeating as Super Bowl Champs. They haven't showed any reason to doubt that they can. They've brought back basically the same team from last year and they still have Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees (who I believe is arguably the best QB in the league) at the helm. Let's be honest about this team... they are an offense first team. With all the weapons that they have at their disposal like Thomas, Bush, Colston, Meachem, Henderson, Shockey and Brees this team can simply outscore anyone. But now that their Defense is starting to come online, as we saw in their run to the Super Bowl last year, now that they have both sides of the ball in sync they are going to be a real hard team to beat! My predicted 2010 record, 12-4. Cause they'll have the division wrapped up by week 14.
NFC NORTH: In my opinion this is going to be the strongest division in football. I think there's going to be a lot of parity in this division.
  • Let's start with the Chicago Bears. They have a lot going for them this year. New offensive coordinator Mike Martz is bringing his high flying "greatest show on turf" offense to the windy city. On the defense they've brought in perennial Pro Bowler Julius Peppers to their D-line. But that still doesn't change the fact that Jay Cutler is their QB. The Guy is a pick-six waiting to happen and now with Martz in town he's going to be throwing the ball even more. Recipe for disaster if you ask me. BUT If Martz can mold him the same way he did Kurt Warner than this could be a different story. But as it stands I'm tempering my expectations for this team. My predicted 2010 record, 8-8.
  • The Detroit Lions: I know this is football faux-paus but I like the Lions this year. They put together a good complement to their existing team (WR MEGATRON, QB Stafford) in the off-season through free-agency, (WR Nate Burleson, DE Vanden Bosch) and mainly through the draft (DT Ndamukong Suh, RB Jahvid Best) I think that this team is going to surprise a lot of people and at the very least they won't be a walk over for any team in the NFL. My predicted 2010 record, 8-8.
  • The Green Bay Packers: Aaron Rodgers has really taken over this team. They have the right mix of young players and old veterans that can lead them into the Promised land. This is a team that had the NFC's best defense a year ago. The only thing that scares me is that this team has a really brutal schedule. They play the NFC EAST and AFC EAST and on top of that the play their own tough division twice and also the 49ers and Falcons to round it out. Very tough so.... My predicted 2010 record, 10-6
  • Minnesota Vikings: With all the talk about whether or not Favre would come back. What got lost in the shuffle was all the losses that this team has suffered in the off-season. They lost lead WR Sidney Rice due to injury, WR Percy Harvin isn't at full speed with Migraines and RB Chester Taylor is with a division rival. That's alot of offensive weapons that they have not found replacements for. Their Defense if off-course going to be stout. But what worries me again like the Packers they also have a brutal schedule but instead of the 49ers and Falcons, being the division champs the Vikes get the Arizona Cardinals and the super bowl champion Saints in the first game of the season. NFC NORTH: In my opinion this is going to be the strongest division in football. I think there's going to be a lot of parity in this division. My predicted 2010 record, 10-6.

NFC EAST most consider this division to be the strongest in the NFL but I'm not sold :
  • Let's start with the Redskins. What is there to say about the skins? I think that McNabb is for sure an upgrade at QB over Campbell. But what is going to be the biggest clue to this team's success is how well both the O-line and D-line play. It'll be interesting to see if the O-line can play well under new Head Coach Mike Shanahan's zone blocking scheme, but well see once the season starts. The D-line's biggest question is the grossly overpaid D-lineman Albert Haynesworth. If he's able to get in line and be a team player he can be a real force! This being said I like their chances this year, they were a decent team last year and they added enough on Offense and Defense that they'll be in the hunt for the playoffs possibly through wild card or dare I say by winning the division... My predicted 2010 record, 10-6.
  • New York Giants: This team has won the super bowl just 2-3 years ago and the team is still basically intact from that super bowl run. I just don't see them being a force this year. Quick name a big name playmaker on their Offense... now a big time player on their Defense... exactly. I can name a few people on their Defense but on offense I don;t think they have a enough to get it done. My predicted 2010 record, 7-9
  • The Philadelphia Eagles I think are going to take the biggest step back this year in this division. I am not sold at all on QB Kevin Kolb. I think that this team will sorely regret trading QB Donovan McNabb, especially to a division rival in the Redskins. They are going to have to see him 2 times in the year and I'll guarantee you that he'll be coming for blood! With all of that being said My predicted 2010 record, 6-10.
  • The Dallas Cowboys AKA America's Team... Who the Fuck came up with that? Americas Team? Fuck that! hahaha! The Cowboys are the class of this division. They have arguably the most talented team in the league on both sides of the ball. With players like OLB DeMarcus Ware, QB Romo, WR Austin, TE Witten and the three good-decent RB's they have. They have the talent and experience on both sides of the ball and now they just have to put it all together in a long run to a Championship. My predicted 2010 record, 12-4.
That leaves us with the playoff teams being:

Division Winners:
San Francisco 49ers
New Orleans Saints
Green Bay Packers/Minnesota Vikings (one or the other)
Dallas Cowboys

Wild-card spots:
Green Bay Packers/Minnesota Vikings (one or the other)
Atlanta Falcons or Washington Redskins

Regardless who's in the mix I see it coming down to New Orleans and Dallas. With Dallas getting the edge in my book because their overall talent level is just that much better. Although I hate to bet against the Super Bowl Champion Saints....

MY PICK FOR THE NFC CHAMPIONS IS THE DALLAS COWBOYS!

Stay tuned cause I will be previewing the AFC and then picking my winner for the Super Bowl....
