NFL Playoff Predictions

[Monkeydad]

With Ryan Mathews' health in question and the loss of Vincent Jackson, I don't see a huge leap for them. Norv is just a curse.

I see the Steelers finally regressing and the Bengals leapfrogging them in the division with all of their young talent and solid D.

The Chiefs will have a good year, they made some nice pickups this offseason, however, Denver finished ahead of them last year with Orton and Tebow so I have to expect them to do it again with Peyton Manning.

I'm also leaving the popular pick of the Lions out of my predictions. Stafford had a monster year last season but that's also the first season he's been healthy. Chances are, based on his history, he won't play 16 games. Jahvid Best is a mess physically, LeShoure is suspended AND injured...their running game won't be a factor, so it's going to be another year of Calvin Johnson carrying the offense. A huge factor is going to be the team's, especially the defensive players' lack of discipline on and off the field. How many arrests have they had this offseason? How many suspensions will they get this year? Suh? Avril?

They have a ton of talent, but I don't see the team holding it together for a whole season.
