Re: Predict Your 2009 NFL Award Winners
 

Schwartz is coach of the year if the Lions win the NFC North. That could happen, acutally. I have them winning 5 games with a 1-5 record in the division, but if they win 4 or 5 games against NFC North opponents, all of a sudden that's 8-9 wins and in a division where there's no double digit win teams.

Still, a 5-1 record in the NFC North would require them to be a much better team then I think anyone expects.

I think their defense keeps them in a lot of games this year. Take AP away from the Vikings and I think they take both games if Stafford and Pettigrew are worth half a damn. I think the Packers will be their toughest competition. Cutler won't make as big a difference as people think in Chicago.
