    I predict upsets every week, and a combination of NFC and AFC finalists that are forecast by less than 10% of those currently making predictions. :)

    Bump.

    So how have your predictions faired so far as we approach the end of the regular season?

    Here were mine....

    My revised predictions, I figure they can be changed and tampered with until the first week of the regular season....

    AFC Champions: New England Patriots
    NFC Champions: Green Bay Packers
    Superbowl Winner: New England Patriots
    "Surprise" Team: Chicago Bears
    Underachieving/Over-Hyped Team: Indianapolis Colts

    Off MVP: Tom Brady / Aaron Rodgers / Adrian Peterson
    Def MVP: Jared Allen
    Off Rookie MVP: Knowshon Moreno
    Def Rookie MVP: Rey Maualuga (Best LB in the draft IMO)
    "Surprise" Player: Earl Bennet (being re-united with Jay Cutler to bring out the best in him)
    Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: TJ Housmasdhdashasdhasehasrhz

    Your Own Team: New England Patriots
    Regular season record: 14-2
    Best rookie: Julian Edelman
    Most looking forward to seeing: That Brady-Moss connection back on the field, and Jerod Mayo develop into one of the finest LBs in the league


    Still in with a chance of getting my Superbowl prediction right, although I did expect both teams to be by far the superior teams in their respective conferences. That hasnt faired too well but here's hoping the overall prediction is right ;)

    Chicago Bears as my surprise team - yup, that was some f*cking surprise :o I'll pretend I never said the Colts would underachieve too :p

    Offensive MVP probably wont go to any of the candidates I listed, although Im happy with my Defensive MVP and Rookie MVP choices - all in with a shout of clinching their awards.#

    As for my own team predictions, didnt go quite according to plan. Still think Jeord Mayo is the finest young LB in the league, and although Brady - Moss havent been as prolific as I thought they would be (still been pretty great though), that game against the Titans was like it was straight out of the 16-0 season.

    I'm pretty happy with my predications, they're not far off execpt.......

    AFC Champions: New England Patriots
    NFC Champions: Philadelphia Eagles
    Superbowl Winner: Philadelphia Eagles
    "Surprise" Team: Green Bay to go deep in the playoffs
    Underachieving/Over-Hyped Team: Chicago Bears

    Off MVP: Tom Brady
    Def MVP: Jared Allen
    Off Rookie MVP: Donald Brown
    Def Rookie MVP: James Laurinaitis (or Aaron Curry, fine)
    "Surprise" Player: Terrell Owens
    Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Roy Williams

    Your Own Team
    Regular season record: 6-10
    Best rookie: Jason Smith/James Laurinaitis both to contribute.
    Most looking forward to seeing: not even a question. Steven Jackson.

    Pats and Eagles both lead their divisions, the Packers are on a roll and the Bears suck - so those are all good. Jared Allen's second in the league in sacks too, so that's not bad.

    The rest... maybe not. Still, not a bad haul.

    Your Roy Williams pick was also pretty astute

    Off MVP: Peyton Manning
    Def MVP: DeMarcus Ware
    Off Rookie MVP: Mark Sanchez
    Def Rookie MVP: Rey Maualuga
    "Surprise" Player: Chris Johnson
    Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Tom Brady

    Your Own Team: Jaguars
    Regular season record: 10-6
    Best rookie: Derek Cox
    Most looking forward to seeing: Dave Garrard throwing to Torry Holt

    im happy enough...both my teams leading their divisions and looking much better now than they did earlier in the season....still a chance for the Jags to take the "surprise team" tag.if they make it to the wildcard i think that should give it to them considering how much of a rebuilding year this was expected to be for them.

    as players go im pretty happy :) still think Manning for Off MVP, too bad DeMarcus Ware wont be pulling through for Def MVP...and i think i was also a bit off with the rookies...really expected more of an explosive rookie season from Maualuga. hes been good but not stood out anywhere near as much as Cushing, Matthews or Laurinitis in the LB class... think Chris Johnson was a good bet as the surprise player haha ;) what a breakout season!!! and Tom Brady has been good but nowhere near his usual self and not as prominent as a lot of people expected at the start of the season

    still hoping my Jags can reach 10-6 although 9-7 is a lot more likely...was great seeing Garrard get to throw to someone with the quality and experience of Torry Holt and it really seemed to help the rest of the young receiving corps to have him there....rookies im not so sure about, Cox was good but id have to give it to DT Terrance Knighton for being such an impressive run stuffer and helping to bring back what was a formidable run defense in Jacksonville :)

    AFC Champions: Patriots (hate the fans, but i do admire the coaching team and bradys back so should see moss's stock rise again.
    NFC Champions: Packers or Saints (packers will do wel, if saints def turns up this season il have my money down)
    Superbowl Winner: Patriots
    "Surprise" Team: Jets (new rookie qb but whos looking good, decent running game play-offs wouldnt suprise me)
    Underachieving/Over-Hyped Team: Colts (think im only one whos mentioned colts, new coaching team, with dungy gone, addai no longer a solid rb and peyton showing some chinks last year, hes never had change of coach and its going be shock, i didnt go near colt players in fantasy way to high in order to be worth a pick, i like gonzalez but hes been given little action last season when he really should have been.

    Off MVP: Tom Brady (if he stays fit) otherwise MJ Drew
    Def MVP: De Marcus Ware, or Woodley
    Off Rookie MVP: LeSean McCoy
    Def Rookie MVP: Brian Orapko
    "Surprise" Player: Mark Sanchez (i think hell do job for them) none rookie i think Shockey could return form
    Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: Lt (hes crooked now)

    Your Own Team - Steelers
    Regular season record: 12-4
    Best rookie: E.Hood going be good for our defense in years to come
    Most looking forward to seeing: Packers v Bears, Brady throwing one out to moss, saints offense, and last but not leasts hoping holmes builds on his superbowl showing.

    Got the AFC wrong as such patriots never good enough on the road. NFC however saints are rocking it up at 13-0
    Superbowl winners wont be the patriots and i think at time i just didnt see what other teams had by week1 i wouldnt have been siding with patriots after their show verus bills.
    Jets did ok for while but sanchez started to let them down, and the miss washington, not a good call in in end.
    Colts no huddle off under manning working so well. hOW wrong i was.
    Off mvp: brady, and jones drew had their moments but are off the likely candidates list.
    Def mvp's havnt really got it done for me.
    sanchez and shockey showed some moments in particular shockey.
    Lt struggled firstly but doing a bit better now i must admit.

    My team we lost to bengals twice, lost to browns, raiders, chiefs, like what hell were we at their.
    Our rookie has just had the 6tackles on the season, been postive mendenhall can run a bit.

    Never mind the Colts and Saints, imo the Superbowl will be contested by the Packers and Chargers.
    Posted that months ago and stand by it. 49'ers were good in games, improved their record but not a suprise team I'll admit.

    Percy Harvin will Off Rookie MVP but Beanie Wells did admirably. Likewise Malauga won't win Defensive MVP but had a great season, can't believe the Patriots passed up on him!
    Matt Cassell and Ray Rice, I'm confident my picks are 100% correct and I'm open to anyone to challenge them.
    A recent redraft show Michael Oher as No. 2 pick on performance so he deserves his place in my list. Ravens won't get 11-5 but will make the playoffs. If Mark Clayton versus the Patriots and our now released kicker versus the Vikings made plays and we could be nearly there already

    I posted it already but I doubted the Colts, more fool me :o
