Secondly, as I've grown in love for baseball over the years, my NFL fandom has abated somewhat. I pay almost no attention to the goings-on in football during the offseason. Usually, for the first 3-4 weeks of the NFL season, I'm still learning about big-name players who are no longer on the teams I thought they played for. Instead, spring, summer and fall are spent paying attention to baseball. I can tell you the name of just about every player in MLB who made an impressive defensive play last night, and which pitchers have the most wins... but I'm still not sure if the Raiders won last week.
Having said all of that, you asked for my NFL predictions, so I'll give them to you. However, I'm only giving you division, conference, and Super Bowl champions.
AFC North
Pittsburgh - they always seem to come around at some point.
AFC South
Indianapolis - the Titans could give 'em a run for their money, though.
AFC East
New England - it pains me to say it, but it's true.
AFC West
Denver - I think Peyton is finally declining enough to not be sure about this pick.
NFC North
Green Bay - because seriously, who else in the North is going to challenge them?
NFC South
Atlanta - I agree with you. It's the year of Matt Ryan.
NFC East
Dallas - possibly just wishful thinking, without Tony and Dez. Weak division this year helps, though.
NFC West
Seattle - I don't love this team, but they're significantly better than the alternatives.
AFC Champs
New England Patriots - for the record, I hate this prediction more than all of the rest.
NFC Champs
Green Bay Packers - I really hope I'm wrong and that when Dez Bryant makes an obvious catch this year, it'll stand.
Super Bowl Champs
Green Bay Packers - I just can't bring myself to admit that the Pats might win. Again.
