gpngc's 2012 NFL Season Predictions

[jrdrylie]

I guess I'll give mine as well

NFC North:
1. Green Bay Packers- 12-4
2. Chicago Bears- 11-5
3. Detroit Lions- 9-7
4. Minnesota Vikings- 4-12

Random Predictions: Detroit's lack of dicipline, specifically personal fouls costs them a game, which ultimately costs them a playoff spot. Minnesota will be a much improved team, but they won't be able to overcome going 0-6 in their Division.

NFC West:
1. San Francisco- 8-8
2. St. Louis Rams- 7-9
3. Arizona Cardinals- 4-12
4. Seattle Seahawks- 4-12

Random Predictions: Pete Carroll is fired after Seattle starts the season 2-8. The overall passing game of the entire division will be an utter embarrassment, combining for less than 12,000 yards, fewer than 70 TDs, and more INTs than TDs.

NFC South:
1. Atlanta Falcons- 12-4
2. Carolina- 7-9
3. New Orleans- 7-9
4. Tampa Bay- 5-11

Random Predictions: Carolina starts 4-1, making the Panthers a sexy Super Bowl pick and Cam Newton an MVP candidate. But a brutal post bye stretch of Dallas, Chicago, Washington, Denver, Tampa Bay, Philadelphia, Kansas City, & Atlanta leaves them 6-7, crushing all those dreams.

NFL East:
1. Dallas Cowboys- 11-5
2. Philadelphia Eagles- 9-7
3. New Yorks Giants- 8-8
4. Washington Redskins- 6-10

Random Predictions: The Cowboys start 4-5, leading people to start their usual Romo-Garrett-Cowboy jokes. They all shut up when The Cowboys win 7 straight to end the season and Tony Romo finishes 2nd in MVP voting.

AFC North:
1. Baltimore Ravens-12-4
2. Pittsburgh- 9-7
3. Cincinnati Bengals- 5-11
4. Cleveland Browns- 3-13

Random Predicitons- Andy Dalton has a huge sophpmore slump, mirroring Colt McCoy's second season. Brandon Weeden is horrid in his rookie season. Realizing they can't wait until he is 33 to hopefully be competent, the Browns give up on the "veteran" after just one season.

AFC East:
1. New England Patriots- 14-2
2. Buffalo Bills- 10-6
3. Miami Dolphins- 6-10
4. New York Jets- 5-11

Random Predictions: New York Jet fans will be clamoring for Tebow-Time as the sesaon falls apart. But after looking all-time terrible in his spot playing time, Rex Ryan can't bring himself to start him. The Patriots come close to an undefeatd season, losing only two games, both by five points or fewer.

AFC South:
1. Houston Texans- 11-5
2. Tennessee Titans- 9-7
3. Jacksonville Jaguars- 7-9
4. Indianapolis Colts- 6-10

Random Predicitons: Blaine Gabbert is the most improved player in the league. He even gets some Comeback player of the year votes. The Colts look better, but all the talk of them winning 9 games is foolish. Remember, this is a team with a rookie QB, a change in defensive scheme, and not a big upgrade in talent over a team that was embarrassingly bad last year.

AFC West:
1. Denver Broncos- 11-5
2. Oakland Raiders- 9-7
3. Kansas City Chiefs- 8-8
4. San Diego Chargers- 7-9

Random Predicitons: This is the conference of comeback players. Both Manning and Palmer look like the QBs they were five years ago. Meanwhile, the Chargers again disappoint, Norv Turner is fired, and the window for Philip Rivers closes. Also, Videa throws a tantrum because again, the Chiefs are bad enough to not make the playoffs but not bad enough to be in a position to get a legitimate QB.

Wildcard Round:
Bears over 49ers
Cowboys over Eagles
Texans over Bills
Broncos over Titans

Divisional Round:
Bears over Falcons
Cowboys over Packers
Ravens over Broncos
Patriots over Titans

Championship Round:
Cowboys over Bears
Ravens over Patriots

Super Bowl:
Ravens over Cowboys
