The official NFL predictions thread

[Sixpence]

Ok, here it is, the start of another glorious football season. It's time to call the division, playoff, Sb winners.

AFC division winners

Patriots
colts
Steelers
Chargers

WC teams  Broncos, Ravens

NFC division winners

Cowboys
Bears
Panthers
Seahawks

WC teams  49ers, Saints

AFC winners   Colts

NFC winners Cowboys

SB winner Colts

The colts have an ice cream schedule. How this happens is beyond me, maybe peyton's dad is under a desk somewhere. But because of this they will get home field and repeat.

I would love to predict the Pats, but their schedule is going to leave them beat up pretty good and will run out of gas in the playoffs.

I'll put that loss on the coaching staff, their timid approach to beating the colts was pathetic. To have the QB with the best rating out of the shotgun formation and not use that weapon is beyond me. And that first drive, a 52 yard field goal and the chance Manning will have the ball at the 42? When you just watched you kicker not even make the 10 yard line on the opening kickoff? You have three yards to make, have some balls!!

Best QB??? Maybe for whatever team they are playing against. 1 fumble and 2 interceptions. He looked rattled the entire game. Manning on the other hand looked he was out there shooting a "Here's how you do it" video.

Packers!!!!

Green and Gold there is no other!














yeah I know it's "orange" but there's no gold or even yellow in the font colors.

It only took 3 quarters for San Diego to figure out how to move the ball against Chicago...  Good defensive battle there, and of course the Chargers won.

Regarding the terrible referees...  I think both sides got nailed BAD by terrible calls, but I think it evened out in the end.  The Bears defense came across the line before the snap with the ball 4 inches from the goal line and caused a fumble, and the refs didn't call anything so the "no call" couldn't even be challenged.  4 inches from a touchdown and and an offsides no-call that can't be challenged is about as crucial a referee mistake that can be made.  Of course, a Charger clothslined a Bear later in the game right in front of half the refs and that wasn't called, so I guess it evened out.  But still, the Bears defense were timing the snap so aggressively that you'd think the refs would have been watching more closely with the ball on the 4 inch line, but I guess they had something better to do.
