Hmmm...Your divisional picks look pretty solid so far, but how you have the Seahawks beating the Pats, I don't know...No way the Saints finish last in the NFC South tho...And I think the Panthers will finish atop that division...Other than that, again, some solid picks to me aside from the playoffs...

Have the Colts winning the Super Bowl and I'll agree with you. lol

How come you have the Seahawks repeating but not the Steelers?

I don't see Willie Parker as a back that carry the full load. He is small and fast, but durability isn't his strong suite. Cedrick Wilson may be ok by mid-season, but they need a clear #2 target to keep double teams off of Ward. Heath Miller is a good target in the red zone, but will Ben look to him? Staley and Haynes are weak depth at RB, and if Parker goes down or needs to be spelled, the running game takes a serious drop.

I think the Colts have a top tier offense and a much improved defense, but losing Edge is going to impact them more than they think. Their rookie RB Addi may be good, but he won't scare teams like Edge did. He will allow them to maybe put 4 on the line and playing more zones against Payton.

Gotta have the Panthers over the Bucs in that division. I also think Buffulo might be a dark horse this year

The Bucs offense is much improved. I look for them to surprise some people. Buffalo the dark horse? Is in the one that is never seen or heard from? Who is their QB again?

JP Losman is their QB. Henry is due for a breakout year, Lee Evans finally knows the offense, and Losman can't afford to have a bad year or he'll get cut.

If Henry does have a breakout year the Titans would love it... since he plays for them.

I don't see Buffalo doing shit either...And now that I look back over them, your AFC west might be a little woozy, I don't know if the Raiders are better than the Chiefs, I think the Chiefs MIGHT be the better team..

Lol...wow I sure feel embarrassed. I thought for sure he was still with the Bills but now that I think about it they have McGahee right? He'll do well for them
