NFL Preview

So I printed the schedule and predicted the winner of each game. I wrote down the results. Here they are. This is in no way scientific or based on statistics. This is all from the brain of Toni Broxton. This will become obvious by the time you get to the end of the post.

End of Season Standings:

*projected playoff team
AFC

East: New England (10-6)* Buffalo (6-10) Miami (4-12) New York Jets (3-13)

West: San Diego (13-3)* Oakland (7-9) Denver (5-11) Kansas City (5-11)

South: Tennessee (13-3)* Indianapolis (12-4)* Houston (11-5) Jacksonville (10-6)

North: Pittsburgh (14-2)* Baltimore (11-5)* Cincinnati (6-10) Cleveland (2-14)

NFC

East: Philadelphia (13-3)* New York Giants (10-6) Dallas (6-9) Washington (6-9)

West: Arizona (10-6)* San Francisco (5-11) Seattle (3-13) St. Louis (2-14)

South: Atlanta (12-4)* New Orleans (11-5)* Carolina (11-5)* Tampa Bay (2-14)

North: Green Bay (13-3)* Minnesota (10-6) Chicago (7-9) Detroit (3-13)

Notes:
- I have no 8-8 teams. This is a problem. There are always a few 8-8 teams.
- The last team to get their first win is the Detroit Lions (week 9, at Sea)
- The last team to get their first loss is the Pittsburgh Steelers (week 12, at Bal)
- Can you tell I'm high on the Packers and Texans? (I could be so off on both of them)
- The AFC South is ridiculous. The AFC South is like the NL West. Bold prediction: All four teams in the AFC South will reach at least 10 wins.
- New England with only 10 wins? Yes they get Brady back, but I'm still not sold on their defense.
- The Chargers have a couple of tough teams to play, but for the most part they play an EASY schedule.
- Baltimore makes it over Houston to the playoffs based on division record tiebreaker.
- Miami falls from 11-6 to 4-12. They were able to sneak up on a lot of teams last year. Their schedule is so much harder this year. I just don't see them being able to win more than 4 games this year.

Playoffs:
AFC
Byes: Tennessee, Pittsburgh
Baltimore at San Diego: San Diego
Indianapolis at New England: Indianapolis

Indianapolis at Pittsburgh: Indianapolis
San Diego at Tennessee: San Diego

Indianapolis at San Diego: Indianapolis

NFC
Byes: Green Bay, Philadelphia
Carolina at Atlanta: Atlanta
New Orleans at Arizona: New Orleans

New Orleans at Green Bay: Green Bay
Atlanta at Philadelphia: Philadelphia

Philadelphia at Green Bay: Philadelphia

Super Bowl
Philadelphia over Indianapolis

Yes. That's right. Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl XLIV Champions.

BOOYEAH!

*note: 8/7/09 - changed winner of AFC Championship to Indianapolis, changed Super Bowl matchup. forgot the Chargers have Norv Turner as head coach.
