The Official 2004 Prediction Thread

[Daseal]

Italicized teams are the wildcards.
AFC East:
Jets
Bills
New England
Miami
AFC North: (this division could go completely upside down and I wouldn't be suprised.)
Bengals
Ravens
Browns
Steelers
AFC South:
Colts
Titans
Jaguars
Texans
AFC West:
Kansas City
Broncos
Raiders
Chargers
NFC West:
Seahawks
Rams
Arizona
49ers
NFC South:
Carolina
New Orleans
Atlanta
Tampa Bay
NFC North:
Vikings
Lions
Green Bay
Bears
NFC East:
Washington
Eagles
Dallas
Giants

Biggest suprises:
The Brown's offense tears holes through people, but they don't have a defense worth shit. They are what the Vikings were a year or two ago.

Lions: Beat out the packers for #2 in that division. Watch out for this young offense, will be atop this division within 2-3 years.

Giants: Get a lot more wins than people are expecting. I wouldn't be suprised to see them finish 3rd in the NFC East and go 6-10 or even as good as 8-8.

Patriots: Totally fall off. Yet again.

Saints: Finally play well in December!


AFC South a VERY tight division. Titans, Jaguars AND the Texans fight it out for either a wildcard birth, or they all sit at home because the competition is so good.

The AFC Championship game will be the Cheifs against Indy. Whoever wins this win's the big dance. Even if it's not the AFC championship game.

The NFC Championship game will be between Seattle and Carolina in the typical defense vs offense match up, a close game but Matt Hasselbeck and his receivers go on to the big game, which they would have last year if the receivers can hold onto the ball.
