2010 NFL Season Predictions

PrintThe season officially kicked off last night with the Thursday night season opener. But the real beginning to the season is Sunday - the first football Sunday of 2010. It's a day unlike most others; a time when fans of teams all across the country have that sense of hope - the feeling that anything can happen.
Of course, you don't have to wait to see how the season will unfold. I have the answers for you right now. In fact, I guarantee my predictions will be 100% accurate or your money back!
Last year, I guess you could say I had to give you all your money back. Though I wasn't horrible with my predictions, I was very disappointed in myself. This year I make up for it.
Hopefully.
The truth is that trying to predict the NFL season is an exercise in futility. Typically there are at least five new teams reaching the playoffs every year - meaning at least five teams who were playoff teams last year will likely fail to reach the postseason this year. Still, that doesn't stop the "experts" from making their picks year after year - as irrelevant as they are.
So I'm going to cave into peer pressure and once again take part in the yearly (pointless) exercise of predicting the NFL season. Feel free to mock me below.
AFC PICKS
East: New England Patriots
North: Baltimore Ravens
South: Indianapolis Colts
West: San Diego Chargers
Wildcard: Miami Dolphins, Houston Texans
Just Missed: Cincinnati Bengals, New York Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers
Possible Super-Sleeper: Oakland Raiders
Quick Thoughts
-As much as I'd love to pick the Dolphins in the East, they have too many question marks. But I wasn't about to pick the Jets - I see them imploding as the season goes on. And I think that Mark Sanchez is going to prove to be a liability to that team. By default, that left New England. They still have Tom Brady. They still have Randy Moss. They still have Bill Belichick. Though they have a number off question marks on the defensive side of the ball, their offense will make up for it.
-The Colts remain a no-brainer. They remain the class of the AFC - though their defense does worry me.
-The Ravens are going to be a very dangerous team this year, too. Their defense has taken a step back. But this is going to be the best offense Baltimore has had in a long time.
-The Chargers win the West by default. That division stinks. But that's also why the Raiders could surprise. Jason Campbell gives them a legitimate quarterback. I really like Louis Murphy as a break-out player this year. Zach Miller is one of the most underrated tight ends in the league. And their defense is one of the better units in the AFC. I'm not saying they are going to reach the playoffs. I'm just saying they are going .500 - a huge feat for that franchise after some disappointing seasons.
NFC PICKS
East: Dallas Cowboys
North: Green Bay Packers
South: New Orleans Saints
West: San Francisco 49ers
Wildcard: Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Falcons
Just Missed: Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants, Carolina Panthers
Possible Super-Sleeper: Detroit Lions
Quick Thoughts
-I was a year early in picking the Packers - my NFC pick a year ago. This is the year they get back to the Super Bowl. They are that good. Their only question mark is a leaky offensive line. But they seem like they have improved this year. Of course, that was only the preseason - so who really knows.
-I had the Niners as my sleeper team a year ago and they nearly clawed out a playoff spot. That division got even worse this year, with Arizona losing Kurt Warner, Anquan Boldin, Karlos Dansby, and Antrel Rolle. The Seahawks will be improved this year, though. So I'm not 100% confident in picking SF. But I'm going to roll with them and see what happens. If Frank Gore stays healthy, they should be a playoff team.
-I love the Falcons to bounce back this year after a disappointing 2009. Michael Turner will be rejuvenated. That defense should be improved. And Matt Ryan should be more comfortable than ever as he enters year three.
-I know, I know. The Lions? Really? I'm not crazy. They are an improved football team. Matthew Stafford is the real deal and rookie RB Jahvid Best is going to be a good one. Defensively, though, is where they have really improved. I really like their front four of Kyle Vanden Bosch, Corey Williams, Ndamukong Suh, and Cliff Avril. And safety Louis Delmas is a star in the making (if he can just stay healthy). They are in a tough division, though. But .500 is definitely within reach as the franchise looks to continue their climb up from the bottom of the league.

Ravens do not have a secondary
They will make it to the playoffs but will be out early.
The Patriots Suck
their offense is looking pretty damn good
and they could get their secondary back during the season…they will go far

I've kind of noticed that if your front 7 is good to decent and your corners can kind of cover
like the Vikings – you can still play some competitive games against elite teams. Like the Saints.
Staring down Mark Sanchez. Just look into the those brown beauties.
nice picks matty
as I put in Natalya’s picks I have got Ravens over Packers in the big game and have said this from right after the draft ended.
Your Division Winners are identical to mine although I think the Falcons might give the Champs a run for their money.
I like the Chiefs as a sleeper in the East.. and I think they’ll fall just short of the overachieving Chargers.
The Lions will have 6-9 wins this year and will finish right with Chicago in the North.
As for the Dolphins- our cellar is a duplication of last year; nothing gets working and we finish 7-9 again.
Our best case scenario is a meeting with Baltimore in the AFC Championship. If every single thing goes right for us (Health, Turnover Margin, Henne Progression, Ronnie and Ricky being Effective, Brandon Marshall being Brandon Marshall, young secondary stepping up BIG time, new pressure from Nolan) we can win the super bowl. I think we’re not there yet but hey, anything is possible.

I dont see the pats winning afce
Caving to bradys demands,loss of several key defensive players,an unhappy moss,a healing wes welker,losing key starters on offensive line,a runningback commitee that is sub par,even with a healthy offensive line,secondary isnt wat it used to be.
All in all,they might have bit off even more than they can fit in their mouth this season. Jets,well they are due for a rude awakening,and bills just arent there yet. All they have is a new runningback and an above average secondary,we saw how well that worked for the rams. As a matter of fact,the bills remind me too much of the rams,and dont scare me a bit.
Brady may be brady,but after knee injury,new kid,and an off season accident,coupled with the fact that hes no longer playing for a contract. Moss wants a new one,our aqquisition of dansby,a newly added blitzing scheme,it only comes down to this. Can our front three create enough push to force em to have to bring in a blocking tight end,with mankins out,its possible,can wake disrupt bradys rythym,i think he can,can vontae and smith contain moss and welker,and can we find someone to cover eddleman,lol we can,so how is this team going to beat us? Sorry fred taylor doesnt scare me. Bell can take him one on oneand on passing downs be used to help.
My take,if we beat the pats once,the jets once and buffalo twice,thats four games right there,vikings game looks very winnable,after last nights showing,theres 5 right there,i really think we relive the 11-5 season from 2 years ago as long as we dont get bit by the injury bug like last year

Nice Picks
I agree with most of them except I have the Ravens beating the Packers and the Jets winning the division (as much as I hate to say it) _. lol
I think the Phins will take it.
I’m not going with my heart either. I didn’t pick them last year. But, with the upgrades, I think they can.
Last year we didn’t have the passing threat we do now. Last year we didn’t have Ronnie all year. Last year we didn’t have a good defensive schemer. And we have more depth and durability. Now, add on a good kick returner. I truly think it’ll be the Dolphin’s year…and, beyond that, the beginning of a new Dolphin era.
Otherwise, I like your picks.

that's a deal!
It might be a sleeper pick….and I AM a HOMER! But it really does make sense to me. Miami won 7 games last year on nothing but heart. Add some tools to that heart, and you’ve got trouble for everyone.
Take the first 4:
- We beat Buffalo hands down
- After watching the season opener,
I believe we can run up and down on the Vikings, and put the fear into their aging gunshy QB. I thhink we can beat the Vikings.
- The Jets offense looks like hell. I think we can best them.
- The Pats defense looks like hell. I think we can beat them, too.
Just sayin.
"Nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat."

J! E! T! S! Suck! Suck! Suck! Suck!
Tom Brady should have his thumbs removed! Slowly!
Here is my prediction sure to go wrong.
The winner of the AFC East will be the Dolphins with a 9-7 record. I think this division is up for grabs and I think everyone is going to beat up on everyone else. Combine that with the tough schedule outside the division, AFC North (Bengals, Ravens, Steelers are tough games for everyone) and the NFC North (Vikings and Packers), winning the division is going to be a slugfest.
Super Bowl is going to Packers (division winner) vs Steelers (wild card) with the Packers winning.

Nice picks
I would say the same thing after getting over my homerism.
Still if we make it to the playoffs generally healthy we would be a tough match. With the label “nobody wants to face”.
Can't remember the last time Miami had so much talent.
Rusty Smith! (Titans future qb)
Camarillo trade made 0 sense. A starting clutch WR for a 29 year old back-up CB? Someone found Rickey's old stash.
I have no idea who going to win our division
I think the Jets will implode like Matty said, i have questions about the Pats D, although their offense is looking good as always, and the Dolphins can definitely compete…it’ll be a very interesting year

Pats are easy to pick
because we’re all use to the Pats we have come to know over the past so many years, but I’d have to say their “D” will become lack luster over the course of the season; leaving Brady having to pull out a bunch of 4th quarter come backs. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t see A slipping “D” helping to clinch a division. I can hang with Miami getting the Wild Card, but I just can’t put the Jets as division winners either…. So, I can see Miami clinching the division (moving beyond the WC spot) due to division wins. I’m not sure if it’s good or not, but we get our hard games “in theory” out of the way early in the season before tons of wear and tare set in.
As a Vikes fan I laugh at the Packer pick .
Our Offense was rusty . Our Defense was 85% . And we still dominated the game as Brees had less than 230 yards passing and under 80 rushing . As we adapt to not having S. Rice . And get over Brett’s extended vacation we will be in good shape .
Noise will be key to our success . Along with a balanced attack . You will need to find a pass rush . I see you have your share of key injuries too . If Marshall can hold on to the ball you will be ok . But as the Viking Defense heals . I see a turn of events . C.Cook at 6-2 will match up well with Marshall . As he has more speed than Marshall . Our safeties are our achilles . As in your Defense . Can you field enough LB’s to contain Peterson . Probowl TEs are our weakness . But you don’t have those either .
In Miami this early this game could be close . I see the home field advantage . Along with the ten day break to heal . As the key to us generating some offense . I say 23-10 . I should wait and see how Buffalo presents Spiller . But why ? I have confidence that Buf will go down this week . Stay healthy . And don’t let your LT get carted off over a finger like our creme puff McKinnie ……. Good Luck . And have a real physical game with the Bufs . We could use the break .
I didn't think the Vike's would win last night (Due to Rice being out and Favre being rusty)....
BUT! They stood up against the Super Bowl Champs better than most teams would…. Allen is the BEST DE in the league and he’s my biggest concern (besides the power runner you have at RB) when the Phins play you guys….. both teams secondary play making could be the biggest factor, but on the other hand (on the Viking side) I do see Adrian catching big plays behind the LB’s in screen type plays.

I don't like the vikes this year. Their biggest weakness
is the secondary and really did nothing to improve it.

That was a typo… Um bout bryant.. Miles austin is going to be a one year wonder.. Roy willams hasn’t done anything special and the cowboys are kinda a pass first offense.. so he better have a great year.. And my bad not mcclain but maybe taylor mays.. I mean if singletary uses him to the best of his ability he could be very good player.. I mean comon.. He is a safety that has the sixze to be a linebacker.. But that’s just me…

I agree on the first part but not the second.
He has not had to be the #1 since he got to Dallas and he still throws out suck. I will say that he is a stand up guy and had stated that its all his fault and that all the negative things that have been said about him are deserved. Hes one of those guys that you root for because he comes off as such a great but but some guys just don’t have “it”.

Yeah their whole offense has been in a funk this PS but I say Austin make a couple of huge plays
like he did all of last year. He will be fine.

no, it's just that every time i watch a Cowboys Game
i don’t see him as a horrible player. He was a bust of a trade, as that type of compensation should mean he is a bonafide #1, but he isn’t. He is a dangerous #2 whenever i’ve seen him, as all eyes are on Miles and Whitten.

My picks are similar just some differences.
I think this is the year for Houston. I believe they beat the Colts out for the division. I’m not big on the Oakland sleeper. I think Micheal Bush will be good when he gets healed but I’m not sold on the team as a whole. The Lions on the other hand I am all for. I think they go into Chicago and win week 1. With the way the Vikings are looking I think they can be second in their division. This team is going to be for real. Jahvid Best might even push for OROY. The defense one I think Earl Thomas has a real shot at getting. The Dolphins didn’t show their hand at all in preseason. I also think the whole disappointed in his team talk before the 4th game was more for show that kind of backfired with the Long injury. I don’t think they were playing hard at all. I am hoping for that anyways. I think they are waiting until week 3 and 4 to really display how good we are. They made a lot of moves they wouldn’t have if we weren’t. Like bringing in young unknowns basically for the roster just so I think they can drop them after Buffalo to get Grant back at a lower cost. Just theories tho. Pretty much everything is at this point in the season. Just have to see what the FO has in store for us.
Draft Earl Thomas Bandwagon!
No Wildcard for AFC East
My thinking is more in line with the fella who sees a 9-7 division winner. More likely, One of these teams (Patriots, Dolphins, Jets) will manage 10-6 when the bloodbath is over, but its anyone’s division. The Pats are getting worse due to injuries on the defense, the Jets are ripe for a meltdown with Sanchez seemingly a ticking time bomb for failure, and the Dolphins playing like an expansion team in the preseason. How it all plays out in a tough schedule for these teams will come down to coaching, luck and the players themselves. The Ravens are a playoff team, hands down, but I disagree about the Bengals falling short. This is a very talented team that beat up on its own division last year and should do well again this year as long as there are no major injuries or mental breakdowns. I believe they good enough to make a superbowl run, but that is determined by more factors than just talent.
AFC: Dolphins (IF they get it together), Bengals, Colts, Chargers, Texans, Ravens
NFC: Vikings*, Saints, 49ers, Eagles, Packers, Falcons
Sleeper: Raiders. This team will surprise the league this year and don’t be surprised if they win the west……..yes, that’s what I said. The Chargers are a good team, but not a great team and they have had key losses. the Raiders could actually be a playoff team if the stars are right.
*The Packers have a dynamic offense but how much they have improved, if it all, is yet to be determined. Whether or not they have all the pieces to make it work is still a question and until that question is resolved, its the Vikings who are still the team to beat in that division. Will Favre have a down year? Probably. Will the Vikes be less formidable this year? Probably. But, less formidable can still be formidable. They are good, problems aside and look for Greg Camarillo to become a much bigger part of their success than we saw in game one.
AFC CHAMPS: Bengals over Colts
NFC CHAMPS: Saints over Packers
SB: Bengals
Agreed on much of this....
I also disagree with the Bengals falling short……. and the break down of the AFC East (IMO) is a good view point and probably will be factual on the lack of a wild card spot. I would have to go with Charges and Ravens in the AFC Champ game (Edge to the Ravens)
I would love to put the Phins in the AFC Champ game but I obviously have a seeded doubt in making it past the second round of playoffs (that would be an improvement traditionally speaking though)
I could see Houston winning the South and Indy having to snag the Wild Card though
Don’t be surprised if Detriot plays spoiler in the NFC and really shakes up the Wild Card slots a bit. And I’d have to also agree on the Saints / Packers NFC game (Saints with slight Edge at the moment)

""It only ends once. Everything that comes before is just progress"
Your picks match mine almost exactly
AFC East: Pats, Fins, Jets, Bills
AFC North: Ravens, Steelers, Bengals, Browns
AFC South: Colts, Texans, Titans, Jags
AFC West: Chargers, Raiders, Chiefs, Broncos
WildCards: Dolphins, Texans (but Jets or Steelers could beat out Houston)
NFC East: Cowboys, Giants, Eagles, Redskins
NFC North: Packers, Vikings, Lions, Bears
NFC South: Saints, Falcons, Panthers, Bucs
NFC West: Niners, Cards, Hawks, Rams
WildCards: Falcons, Vikings
The ONLY reason I picked the Pats over Fins was because the final game which will decide the division is being played in New England. In January. If it was being played in MIami, I woulda picked the Fins.
I am not sold on Jason Campbell (what has he done, anyway?) though he is improvement over JaMarcus (heck, anyone is an improvement over JaMarcus!) , so I can’t pick the Raiders. Until the Texans actually prove they can beat the Colts, I have to go with Manning and Co. And until the Bengals prove they can put two good seasons together, I have to go with Steelers beating them out for second.
IN the NFC, I’d love to pick Giants, but they simply don’t have the D the Pokes and Eagles do. NFC West is ridiculous….none of those teams ought to make playoffs! Sorry, but as long as Alex Smith is Niners QB, I can’t be enthusiastic about chances; it’s just the rest of the division is so much worse. I can actually see the Rams making second place if Bradford can find a guy to replace Avery and their line holds up for Jackson. the Lions, of course, are the super sleepers—and the Bears might be the worst team in the NFL this year.
I agree about Jets imploding (I can’t wait to see Jake handle JT!), and I agree about Packers winning Super Bowl over the Ravens…Ravens D won’t be like it used to be. Their Jets game will be a big indicator.
Bengals, why no love?
They swept their division last season, they haven’t lost anyone and gained a number of key pieces. I realize the Ravens will be better this next season, but I don’t see how a team that is as good and as physical as the Bengals don’t make the playoffs.
I am a bear of very little brains and big words bother me.
their o-line doesn't look so good
