Playoffs and Super Bowl teams/winners

NFC

Philly, Green Bay, St. Louis, Atlanta, New Orleans, Chicago

Green Bay wins the NFC (I understand this may look homerish, but someone has to explain how a team that won the SB with 15 guys on IR is somehow going to get worse this year)

AFC

San Diego, New England, Houston, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Kansas City

Baltimore wins the AFC and the Super Bowl

Coaches who will be fired

I assume this means after the season too...because its rare it happens during the season in the nfl except in Oakland.

Jack Del Rio, Lovie Smith, Tony Sparano, Marvin Lewis, Tom Coughlin, Mike Shanahan, Ken Whisenhut

League MVP Aaron Rodgers

SB MVP Joe Flacco

OROY Julio Jones

DROY Von Miller

Biggest Surprise

How good the Rams are early on especially.

Biggest Disappointment

The sudden decline of the Colts and the realization by US media that the eagles didn't re-invent the game of football.

The Atlanta Falcons, as well as the fall of the Colts.

Tony Sparano, Tom Coughlin, Hue Jackson, Marvin Lewis, Norv Turner, Jack Del Rio

League MVP:
- Aaron Rogers
SB MVP:
- Aaron Rodgers

OROY/DROY
Julio Jones/ Von Miller

Biggest Surprise:
The Rams win their home playoff game, and give Philly a scare in the next game, inciting another riot about how a NFC West winner with a bad record shouldn't be in the playoffs, let alone get to think about beating Gods Eagles in a playoff game.

Biggest Disappointment:
The Oakland Raiders go 1-5 against AFC West teams after last years perfect record. The Chargers also put up another big record...only to screw up their first playoff game and get obliterated by the Steelers.

Biggest surprise-Kansas City overcomes a brutal schedule with a much improved offense and the maturation of a good young defense. Houston avoids its annual slow start and cruises to an AFC South title.

Biggest disappointment: Arizona and Kevin Kolb look just like Arizona and John Skelton. The Jets never threaten the Patriots for AFC East supremacy.

If I had more time I would fill this out completely, but I just want to say that the Jets and Pats are looking pretty good this year! Gotta lookout for Bradford and the Rams too, they were sooo close to the playoffs last year.

[dissentowner]

I have the Saints over the Patriots for the SB this year. Who dat!

[PeteLFan]

Love the love the Rams are getting, but we still need a true #1 receiver.

I think it is more of an indication of how bad that division is.
