2010 Preview of the AFC and NFC North

I decided to dish out my 2010 NFL season preview as late as I could. Mostly because there has been an awful lot of transactions around the league this preseason. Most recently, Arizona might be shopping their new “prized” QB.

The AFC North is where I’ll start. “Come on over to the Bungles” was a song in my ear all last season. A close friend of mine assured me they’d be good. This year, I’m skeptical again. They are one of my wildcard teams this year at 10-6, even with Team Obliterator. The team to beat in this division wears black, sometimes.

The Ravens are my pick to take the division. It isn’t an easy schedule but I like the addition of Anquan Boldin to the receiving core. I’m on the Joe Flacco train for his third season in the bigs. I’ll give them 11-5. The Steelers will start off 1-3. I guarantee it. After they get Big Ben back they’ll be that back and forth team they were last year and finish with seven, eight, or nine wins.

The Browns will be awful. Let’s say 4-12.

In the NFC North we have a few good teams. The Bears and Lions will both be better than last year. The popular pick is the Packers this year because people are banking on a few more turnovers from the ageless wonder.

I like the Vikings again. All of the NFC North teams have difficult schedules. Yeah, both Green Bay and Minnesota have good run games but you have to like AP more than Grant and Jackson. The NFC North has two of the best teams in the NFC but they’ll beat up on each other. The Vikings win the division going 11-5 and the Packers go 10-6 and receive a wildcard.

The Bears are better. Jay Cutler won’t play like that again Chicago fans so calm down. He had to put everything on himself with the core of guys they had on offense. With that being said, they’re still at best a 9-7 team. The O-line is still shaky. The receivers are still a tad smelly. The defense is still just ok. The Lions are better too and could win five or six games. I’ll give them 4-12 though. However, Stafford was impressive in his first year. They just need to keep him healthy!

I’ll be back soon with the AFC and NFC East next!

QB Retires, Old CF is Back, SB Prediction.

 Another offseason and another year of the “Will Favre Be Back” headlines destroying sporting news over the country. Do you get sick of it? Yes. Do you want him to retire? Yes. Will he ever win another Super Bowl? No. Favre can never know when to hang it up. He had a great year with the Vikings and an awful season with the Jets the year before. It doesn’t matter if he throws the NFC Championship game-losing pick (twice in three years) or not, he’ll still want to come back. Brett, take a page out of a guy whos numbers you have topped. Elway did it with class. Take a guy whos numbers are no where near yours, Warner; he did it with class. It’s over. End it. Leave. STRIKE ONE! (more…)
