    Superbowl: Patriots 28 Seahawks 13

    Superbowl MVP: Lawrence Maroney

    ‘Surprise’ Team: Vikings (Jackson the only weak link, who I think will step up this year)

    Underachieving/Over Hyped Team: Dallas Cowboys (Pacman makes it rain again and goes to Jail, TO freaks out cuz he not getting a new contract, Romo and Jessica Simpson get back together; something is bound to happen…)

    Off MVP: Tom Brady (beats all last yr’s records) 51 TDs (22 Moss, 10 Welker, 8 Jackson, 11 Other)

    Def MVP: Lofa Tatupa (Seahawks)

    Off Rookie MVP: Jonathan Stewart (Panthers) He’ll get more ball than McFadden. RBs nearly always win

    Def Rookie MVP: Jerod Mayo (Patriots) Could there be a better starting setup for a rookie? LBs nearly always win

    Comeback Player: McNabb, don’t know if he qualifies as a comeback player but this is a do or die year for him

    Your Predications?

    Superbowl - Patriots
    MVP - Tom Brady
    Surprise Team - Ravens
    Team to win a playoff game and not break the record for most playoff games lost consecutively - Dallas Cowboys, they're too good to keep sucking.
    Off MVP - Tom Brady
    Off Rookie MVP - John David Booty - that one's a wild pick.
    Def MVP - Jared Allen
    Def Rookie MVP - Glenn Dorsey, Baby Sapp.

    I'm with you on McNabb. He needs a big season.

    Superbowl: Patriots beat Cowboys

    Superbowl MVP: Tom Brady

    ‘Surprise’ Team: Bears (I think they solved their problems with a great draft)

    Underachieving/Over Hyped Team: New York Giants. Really think they got lucky last year in a couple of games late on in the season, played great in playoffs but were lucky to be there at all. I don't rate Coughlan as a coach and I don't rate the younger Manning and think he got lucky last year, it was that catch not the throw that was outstanding in the superbowl.

    Off MVP: Tom Brady or Wes Welker

    Def MVP: Brian Urlacher (If his contract talks are sorted soon)

    Off Rookie MVP: Darren McFadden (No question for me here)

    Def Rookie MVP: Glenn Dorsey (Chiefs) He is an outstanding talent and is guaranteed to be a starter in a team that also could surprise many.

    Comeback Player: If he counts I will go for Willie Parker (Steelers) who suffered an terrible injury last year. He would have to be a contender.

    firstly i really doubt you will see the Patriots in the Superbowl this year.

    i also think its too early to give predictions given that we havnt seen how the rookies will fare in the big leagues.and many team's possible successes will rely on their rookies such as the Jaguars.however if rookies pull through and do well......

    Superbowl: Jags - Cowboys........Jags win

    Superbowl MVP: David Garrard

    Off MVP: Tom Brady

    Def MVP: Have a feeling that Jared Allen is gonna transform the Vikings defense

    Off Rookie: have to go with Jonathan Stewart

    Def Rookie: if the Jags make a good move then i say Derrick Harvey for Def Rookie

    Comeback King: after a non-season last year im going for Marvin Harrison

    The Browns for the superbowl imo.

    Yeah seriously. And I'm currently sober too as I type this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,142 ✭✭✭Karlusss


    Haha dude.

    No way. Five prime-time games in the US doth not a five prime-time game team make.

    I'll be here with a knife and fork over my words if this ends up happening, but I do not see the Browns getting further than MAYBE the Championship game.

    Superbowl: Chargers - Eagles........ Chargers win
    Chargers are the most talented team in the NFL and I think that the Eagles will go on a run in a WEAK NFC. I mean the East is the strongest division and it consists of the Cowboys (no heart in that team), Giants (lucky last year, major problems offensively) Redskins (Just bad) and Eagles (talented but questions about their belief and the rely massively on McNabb and Westbrook).

    Superbowl MVP: Rivers
    The winning QB almost always gets it.

    Off MVP: Westbrook
    Most dynamic player in the league, and as important to his team as any other player in the league.

    Def MVP: Shaun Merriman
    He'll break records with a full year.

    Off Rookie: Jonathan Stewart
    As said above he'll see more ball than the others. I like Mendelhall though

    Def Rookie: Glen Dorsey
    Joke he didn't go top 2!

    Comeback King: D-Mac
    Needs a big year. If he doesn't get the birds to the superbowl then he's prob gone next year.

    Suprise team: Eagles
    I think the parts are in place for a devent run but the same could be said for a ton of NFC teams. It's a shocking conference really...

    Superbowl: Saints - Chargers

    Superbowl MVP: Jonathan Vilma

    ‘Surprise’ Team: Rams will improve a lot, Buffalo are very very close to being a really good team

    Underachieving/Over Hyped Team: Green Bay Packers

    Off MVP: LT

    Def MVP: Albert Haynesworth

    Rookie MVP: Kevin Smith, Detroit

    Comeback Player: Pacman Jones

    If they were in the NFC maybe... :)

    Seriously though is there really any team above decent in the conference? Every team has massive holes! I mean looking at the predicted Superbowl reps from the NFC Saints, Eagles, Seahawks, Cowboys... they wouldn't get a sniff in the AFC. The cowboys have probably the most talent in the NFC but they're an explosion waiting to happen...

    Superbowl: Colts beat Vikings.

    Superbowl MVP: Peyton Manning.

    Surprise Team: Raiders to reach the playoffs.

    Off MVP: Marion Barber. No more Jones to steal his carries.

    Def MVP: Jared Allen. That should be a great D in Minnesota.

    Rookie Offensive MVP: Darren McFadden.

    Rookie Defensive MVP: Glenn Dorsey.

    Comeback Player: Marvin Harrison, no question.

    AFC North Winners: Steelers, Ravens or Bengals.

    That's a good choice, was watching NFL Network last night and was surprised to see how many games they lost by three points or less.

    Superbowl - Patriots Can't blame me there.
    MVP - Tom Brady Again, can't blame me.
    Surprise Team - Ravens Yes! Not the biggest surprise, but they're there.
    Team to win a playoff game and not break the record for most playoff games lost consecutively - Dallas Cowboys, they're too good to keep sucking. Bought the hype.
    Off MVP - Tom Brady Well, it was a good quarter.
    Off Rookie MVP - John David Booty - that one's a wild pick. Hahahaha
    Def MVP - Jared Allen Nah.
    Def Rookie MVP - Glenn Dorsey, Baby Sapp. Nahnahnah.

    It's a crazy league. A couple of plays can change everything.

    Superbowl: Patriots beat Cowboys Pats unlucky and loss of Brady and Maroney was huge and they still went 11-5 and almost made the playoffs, but the Cowboys were brutal with all their 'stars'.

    Superbowl MVP: Tom Brady The injury put paid to that.

    ‘Surprise’ Team: Bears (I think they solved their problems with a great draft) Almost made the playoffs, not too far off with this one, as for the rest well you can see if you read on.

    Underachieving/Over Hyped Team: New York Giants. Really think they got lucky last year in a couple of games late on in the season, played great in playoffs but were lucky to be there at all. I don't rate Coughlan as a coach and I don't rate the younger Manning and think he got lucky last year, it was that catch not the throw that was outstanding in the superbowl. Eh, no.1 seeds in the NFC and favourites almost all season for the Superbowl.

    Off MVP: Tom Brady or Wes Welker Welker had a good year and again Brady was gone from week one.

    Def MVP: Brian Urlacher (If his contract talks are sorted soon) Played well but not as good as I expected.

    Off Rookie MVP: Darren McFadden (No question for me here) Miles off here, started promisingly but missed too many games and the team around him is horrendous also.

    Def Rookie MVP: Glenn Dorsey (Chiefs) He is an outstanding talent and is guaranteed to be a starter in a team that also could surprise many. Way off here again.

    Comeback Player: If he counts I will go for Willie Parker (Steelers) who suffered an terrible injury last year. He would have to be a contender. Dunno who won this one but he was in and out of the team with injury, played well when he started.

    Miles off with most of them.
