NFC South 2012 Prediction

Atlanta Falcons 11 - 5

The Atlanta Falcons should win the division this year because they will be better coached on defense. Mike Nolan has the experience to make the correct week to week adjustments to win more games. With three good cornerbacks, Brent Grimes, Asanta Samuel, and Dunta Robinson, they should be able to control the Saints pass attack.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 9 - 7

My surprise pick is Tampa Bay finishing at 9 - 7. This team was a wreck last year. Not sure what happen with the coaching of Raheem Morris but he lost that team in the worst of ways. With a new coaching staff and a lot of good veteran players I think Tampa will overachieve this year. Look for QB Josh Freeman to have a good year. WR’s Vincent Jackson, Mike Williams, and TE Dallas Clark will help him to look good.

New Orleans Saints 8 - 8

I’m not afraid to give my honest opinion. We will find out how valuable a head coach is during a 16 game season. With Sean Peyton I would give them a 12 - 4 prediction. Now to make my point they will lose 4 games because of him not being there putting their record at 8 - 8. There’s only so much that team leader and star QB Drew Brees can do.

Carolina Panthers 7 - 9

I want to give them a better prediction but when I look at Carolina play I feel like something is missing. They got lucky last year by getting a great year out of star WR Steve Smith. He was huge! I can’t see him doing that again and with the 2nd - 4^th wide receiver on the roster being a bunch of no names I think this will frustrate the Panthers all year. They need Cam’s #1 WR for the future. With a 7 - 9 finish or worse they will be looking to get the best WR in the 2013 NFL draft.

NFC North 2012 Prediction

Chicago Bears 13 - 3

The Bears are the team to beat in the NFC. Their explosive offense is hard to figure out. With unnamable Wrs and two solid Rbs they will be hard to stop on offense. If you don’t get a 1^st down on 1^st or 2^nd down it will be mighty hard to get one on 3^rd down with Julius Peppers coming off the edge.

Detroit Lions 10 - 6

Matthew Stafford continues to throw the ball all over the place. Calvin Johnson breaks the Madden curse all year until the 1^st game of the playoffs. L

Green Bay Packers 8 - 8

No hunger keeps the Packers sliding to the bottom of the pack in the NFC North. Their defense can’t stop a high school running back from scoring a touchdown. I predict they will lose in shootouts all year long.

Minnesota Vikings 6 - 10

Something is missing here. The Vikings look like they are a good team on the field but on paper they keep losing. The bottom line will be the coach. Christian Ponder will prove that he’s their QB for at least two more years.

NFC East 2012 Prediction

　

New York Giants 12 - 4

The Giants will continue to be hot at the beginning of the season. They may go undefeated through 7 - 10 games. I can see them experiencing the same thing Green Bay experienced last year. Being over confident will hurt them in the playoffs. A hungrier team will put an end to the Giants run.

Dallas Cowboys 10 - 6

A rocky start for the Cowboys will help them build character. They will have calls go their way this year. I believe that 10 - 6 will be good enough to get them into the playoffs. If this team gets the wheels rolling they could be special in the playoffs. Having Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne at CB will make DeMarcus Ware look even better and the pass rush may be on the Giants level.

Philadelphia Eagles 8 - 8

My prediction would be different if they had a good back-up quarterback. It's so hard for me to believe that Michael Vick will make it 16 games with his style of play. On a scale of 1 - 10 I’ll give Vick a 4 as a leader. After him I can’t say that there’s another leader on the team. It’s like the whole team is on Vick’s back. I wish Vick good health but 8-8 is the best that I can give the Eagles.

Washington Redskins 5 - 12

I’m not a fan of Mike Shanahan. I think that John Elway made him who he is. Robert Griffin III will need some time to learn the NFL game. I believe that he has all the skills in the world but he is no Cam Newton and the Panthers went 6 - 10 with one of the best rookie Qbs ever.
