Eschewing the knowledge that even the best analysts can’t do any better than simply regressing the previous season’s records, here are my predicted standings for the NFL season. I went a little crazy, mostly so I can come back later and point to the one or two predictions that make me look brilliant. I’m only half joking
Bills — yes, even with the league’s toughest schedule
Patriots — but nothing from Moss
Dolphins — I hear Teddy Ginn’s going to be huge
Jets — S-U-C-K
Cincinnati — “two years after ACL” is the new “age 27 breakout”
Cleveland — Brady Quinn ‘07 >>> Vince Young ‘06
Baltimore — shutup, Willis
Pittsburgh — this is a Bill Cowher tribute
Tennessee — Super Bowl champs, right here
Indianapolis — getting old…
Jacksonville — can they have a do-over with Leftwich?
Houston — the best of any last place team
San Diego — oh god, Norv Turner
Denver — not a stud, but too good to crash and burn
Oakland — it’s amazing what a real coach will do
Kansas City — worst team in the league
Detroit — this year’s Saints
Chicago — I like Grossman, but DEF and ST won’t repeat
Green Bay — a defense-led Brett Favre team?
Minnesota — no reason at all
Philadelphia — the NFC’s version of the Patriots
Dallas — seriously, do you make Romo the placeholder?
Washington — Denver O-line -> Portis
NY Giants — Tom Coughlin, please read this book
Tampa Bay — i’m going to regret this one… right now
New Orleans — remember, i pegged that ‘06 season
Carolina — i have a personal thing against Carolina
Atlanta — they’d be here even with Vick
Arizona — gotta love the offense and lack of Denny
Seattle — the other NFC Patriots
St. Louis — fun to watch, fun to beat
San Francisco — they’ve peaked
