Surprised to see a prediction which claims the Texans will win the AFC South.

Bold or not I think you are darn close.....Again I prefer the Saints but if the Seahawks get in again that is fine too.

Something tells me Denver will faulter, Manning will get hurt.

I don't think Manning will get injured, but he is always prone to the usual wonderful regular season, fall down/woeful performance in the playoff syndrome. But still...too much talent to bet against at the very least making it to the AFC championship game.

Finally! It's back!

Skins to win the NFC East?? That is bold, I know this is the popular answer, but I really can't imagine (barring unforseen madness) Philly not winning it. Dallas has no hope LOL

The Skins and G Men will duke it out for #2.

Gotta love that Seattle defense. Epic. Also I heard they were the least penalized team in pre season, even though the change in penalty calling was caused by Seattle! Talk about adjusting.

Anyway, this really is impressive. The D, Lynch is still a beast, Wilson and co aren't just methodical and efficient, they are explosive.

Oh and their rigged stadium to boot LOL

I never pick a team to repeat the SB, but they must be a favorite.

Percy Harvin adds so much to that offense with his dynamic abilities. And he's so FAST!

Lynch is a beast, such speed, power and just doesn't stop. Freak.

That said, I have long thought Green Bay covered up issues with the play of Rodgers and co. but Seattle are champs at exposing weaknesses.

OK, I'll go with this for predictions:

NFC East:

Eagles

Giants (We got Eli, and that is better than RG3. I also think a better defense)

Skins

Cowboys

NFC North:

Packers

Lions

Bears

Vikings

NFC South:

Saints

Falcons

Buccs

Panthers

NFC West:

Seattle

Niners (though I expect a lesser than usual year due to 3/4 of their defense being in jail/not sure if Kaepernick steps up)

Cardinals (good year for them, strong division)

Rams

AFC East:

Pats

Jets (I'll be bold, Geno improves and their front 7 is just sick)

Phins

Bills

AFC North:

Tough one...I see the big 3 as pretty equal, and all with many ?s this is just a guess really

Bengals

Steelers

Ravens

Browns

AFC South:

Colts

Titans

Jags (Apparently Bortles is legit, unlike that over hyped Manziel)

Texans

AFC West:

Broncos

Chargers

Chiefs

Raiders

I think the Raiders may be looking OK, time to start the Carr! Who is replacing Schaub who replaced David Carr :O

This is why Seattle shouldn't have home games on primetime TV.

I'm not really sold on anyone in the NFC east. While I would be fairly surprised if Dallas wins it, it's pretty wide open to me...mostly because of ineptitude. And as I said...needed to shake up my picks. Can't go with the obvious all the time...and there usually is a good turnover with teams making the playoffs from year to year.

Also...I picked the Gmen to win last year and they started 0-6. Not jinxing them like that again.

Which I find to be crap. That's why it's called "HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE". Too many people complained about it, and now they get penalized.

As a Seahawks fan I don't care if it's not in primetime, as long as we win.

They are still going to win all 8 home games barring another fluke. It's not like they are only playing 5 games at home.

No doubt NFC east sucks, but Philly seems the only one with solid foundation under it. Like they aren't totally up in the air, maybe some wonder if Foles will come down to Earth a bit...but I am worried about them for sure!

Dallas, just man that defense! And all fairness, I think Romo has been in an Eli situation, not terribly good stuff around him and has been the only reason they find any success. As we know this does not last long term.

I am totally OK with home field advantage, just they made their stadium to be noisier lol but yeah it's all good.

EDIT: Oh you mean TV wise. Yeah who cares? The champs should get some prime time. Of course the NFL hates it because they pummel everyone LOL

I'm sure deep down they hated how that SB turned out, esp with Golden Boy Peyton geting destroyed. They can't have that!

They are just beasts anyway. It seems they have 53 MVP's like, what the hell? No matter who plays for Seattle they are a stud. I bet their punter could beat the sh*t out of Calvin Johnson.

That said, G Men aint winning this division!

Best hope: After a quarter, maybe half, season of growing pains they start getting it together, finish well, and look good for next year. Maybe sneak in the playoffs, though probably lose.

Realistic: not too good a year, but some improvement by the end

Worst case: it all falls apart and Coughlin is gone.

Oh no doubt. Philly should be able to win it, probably with minor difficulty. But as I said...I have to shake it up occasionally.

You're probably right. Tonight only strengthened the reason why they won't have anymore home primetime games, right or wrong.
