lets see...random observations...we'll start with my team:
Dallas will be greatly improved this year. Julius Jones is proving to be one hell of a back, and the addition of Anthony Thomas gives them a very solid backfield. The addition of Marco Rivera gives them 3 pro bowlers on the line. Drew Bledsoe, while not spectacular, is an improvement over Vinny T. The defense will be sick...take a solid unit from last year, add Anthony Henry and Aaron Glenn at CB opposite Terrance Newman. Damn good secondary. Signed Jason Fergusen, a solid nose tackle, and added two solid players in the first round in Demarcus Ware and Marcus Spears, should give them a solid front 7. Prediction: 10-6, wildcard
Minnesota:
They're going to be insane. My pick for winning the NFC. The offense is slightly worse without Randy Moss, but the addition of Troy Williamson in the first round helps offset that. The defense is so improved over last year...headlined with the addition of Fred Smoot at corner. I say 12-4, NFC champions
Eagles:
As much as I hate to say it, they should win the NFC East again. With or without T.O. I don't think they'll be as good as last year, they lost a few players in free agency, but they'll still be solid. 11-5, NFC east champs
Seahawks:
If they trade Shawn Alexander, they're finished. 8-8
Rams:
Nothing spectacular overall, but always a solid offense. 9-7, champs of a pitiful division
Panthers:
Had a rough season last year with all the injuries. Sure Mushin is gone, but Steve Smith is back. If they can stay healthy, they should win their division. 11-5, NFC south champs
Falcons:
One man show. Everything hinges on Vick. If he performs, they win, if he falters, they lose. They are hard to predict for because of that, but they'll still be a good team if he's on the field. 10-6, wildcard
Ravens:
Wow. Talk about defense. A secondary consisting of Chris MacAllister, Samuri Rolle, Deion Sanders, and Ed Reed? With Ray Lewis at MLB? I don't think I need to say anything else, best defense in the league. The offense should be improved. Todd Heap and Jonathen Ogden were out the majority of the year last year, they're back, Jamal lewis is out of jail, adding Derrick mason and Mark Clayton at WR are big improvements. If Kyle Boller can get over his growing pains with his new, better, healthier offense, they could make a superbowl run. 13-3, AFC North champs
Patriots:
Nothing necessary here. They're still amazing, although losing Bruschi could hurt if he leaves because of his stroke. My pick to win the AFC if the Ravens and Colts don't pan out. 12-4, AFC East champs
Colts:
Best offense in the NFL led by the best QB. If the defense improves they should win the conferance, don't try and tell me Manning can't win the big one. 13-3, AFC South champs
Kansas City:
Keep Priest Holmes and that sick o-line healthy and they are always contenders. The defense got completely retooled this year, they should be a very potent team. 11-5, AFC West champs
Chargers:
Still a good team, last years surprise team of the year has the best RB in the game. That Eli Manning deal certainly panned out well for them, didn't it? They'll have another good year, contend with the Chiefs in the AFC West. 11-5, wildcard
SB PREDICTION: AFC over NFC regardless, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Colts over Vikings.
