2011 NFL Season Predictions

by Jay Preece on Sep 7, 2011 8:36 PM CDT

I remember one of these threads for the last two years, but none so far this offseason. Forgive me if I missed it, but CSC there are so many discussions on here that it's hard to keep up.

Here is the place to post all of your predictions for the upcoming season. First of all, I want to see your division winners, wild card teams and playoff predictions. After that, please predict as freely as you like, whether you think Meachem will have a better season than Colston, the 49'ers will bench Alex Smith in Week 5, the Patriots will have more losses than Tom Brady has haircuts, or whatever else.

Consider it automatically Listing yourself, as I'll be back at the end of the season to ridicule everything you have to say. Go ahead, Nostradamus.

My turn

AFC North: Ravens

I guess this counts as bonus:

Alex Smith won’t make it to game 5
Brady has 1 haircut and Patriots have 4 loses.

Manning misses out on the first 6 weeks. He comes back and due to no real practice time with players he’ll lose 3 or 4 games at least. They break their ongoing streak of consecutive playoff appearances

Now that we have a 2011 season let's win the Superbowl!

Chargers, really?

that;’s so 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008.

I guess if people keep picking them, eventually they’ll be right.

I almost went with the Ravens

I don’t know; their team is so stacked & they always manage to choke it away, one way or another. Is this finally their year? probably not, but whatever, this isn’t for money.

They were stacked when they had LT and Sproles… now their stack is a bit lopsided. :-)

Their problem seems to be they rack up stats and easy victories against inferior west coast teams, then when get to the playoffs they aren’t used to that level of competition. They’ll get bounced again.

AFC North: Steelers
AFC East: Patriots
AFC South: Texans
AFC West: Chargers
AFC Wildcards: Ravens, Jets

NFC North: Packers
NFC East: Eagles
NFC South: Saints
NFC West: Rams
NFC Wildcards: Falcons, Buccaneers

AFC Championship: Patriots over Jets (3rd time’s not the charm)
NFC Championship: Saints over Packers

Super Bowl: Saints over Patriots (I said this one a while back.)

Bonus Picks:
- Saints end the season at 12-4 – which includes a loss in week 17 because we rest our starters.
- Darren Sproles will be second on the team in receptions.
- Mark Ingram has over 800 yards and at least 8 TD’s, but gets snubbed for ROY. (I hope I’m wrong on the second part of that one.)
- Carolina will get the first pick in next year’s draft. (That’s right, two years in a row.)

Agree with the 12-4 but

I’ve already predicted we sweep the division so I have to believe we beat the Panthers even if we rest the starters.

You know, in Japan a round of golf cost $12,000. You play from rooftop to rooftop and the balls are made of rice somehow. then when you're done you've gotta go home and sleep in a tube.
