The only prediction I'm willing to make is that the Chiefs will win more than two games this season. If the over/under is at six, I'm holding my nose and going with the over by one game. I saw somebody picked KC to take a wildcard playoff spot. Ha ha ha! I'm a Chiefs fan and accustomed by now to disappointment, but I'd gladly like to be proved wrong.

 

[JackReacher]

That was me. I have no idea why I chose them. Just felt right.

CONGRATS!!!

I can see that. The road from 2-14 to 7-9 is easier than what comes afterward. Given a softer schedule, improved quarterback play and good health, it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility they could do that, maybe even finish second in their division.

I like the Revis pick for Comeback Player of the Year...

[Mizzougrad96]

I think the Chiefs, Eagles and Cardinals are all going to be significantly better than they were last season.

 

[amraeder]

Bengals open the season
@ Bears
vs. Steelers
vs. Packers
@ Browns
vs. NE

A few close losses and that could be a 1-4 start for a fairly good team.

 

[amraeder]

I think the Chiefs, Eagles and Cardinals are all going to be significantly better than they were last season.

Not sure I'm buying Cardinals stock yet, even though Palmer IS an upgrade over what they were trotting out last year.
Cheifs, I'd be stunned if they weren't at least 3 wins better, just b/c of the significant QB and coaching upgrades.
Eagles - I'm looking forward to watching them. I figure some better luck with turnovers will lead to an improvement, but I'm not sure how many games.

What leads you to believe the Cardinals will be better?

I think the Chiefs will be the most improved team this season... But they will still suck.

 

[Mark2010]

No place to go but up for the Chiefs, Cardinals, Eagles, etc.

I do think the additions of new head coach Bruce Ariens and quarterback Carson Palmer will help the Cardinals. How much improvement? Hard to say.

Here would an interesting prediction: which team will finish with the WORST record? My pick might be the New York Jets. Other nominees might be Jacksonville and Philadelphia.

You REALLY like the Steelers' rookies, don't you?

To be fair, Mike Tomlin seems to love Bell and Thomas, too.

Playoff predictions
NFC Wild Card Game 1 - Giants over SF in a close game reminiscent of the NFC title game that put the Ginats in Super Bowl XXV

AFC Wild Card Game 1 - Pitts over Houston because the Texans never catch a break
AFC Wild Card Game 2 - Baltimore over Buffalo

NFC Divisional Game 1 - Giants over Atlanta
NFC Divisional Game 2 - Green Bay over Washington as a member of the Menominee nation spends the entire game giving Dan Snyder a death stare

AFC Divisional Game 1 - New England over Baltimore
AFC Divisional Game 2 - Denver over Pittsburgh

NFC title game - Giants over Green Bay
AFC title game - New England over Denver in the most overhyped QB matchup since the last time those QBs matched up.

First coach fired - Rex Ryan, because I have no idea how he wasn't fired after last season
