2006 Superbowl Predictions
In the AFC North you have the Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens. In this division it is pretty much up in the air. Can Big Ben Roethlisberger repeat last year’s rookie season? Not a real great showing in pre-season this year but that's not a strong enough indicator. Can Cleveland ever do anything right? Are the Bengals worthy? They sure have some great offensive weapons in Rudy Johnson, Chad Johnson and Carson Palmer. Can the Raven’s D make the difference? With Ray Lewis, Neon Deion Sanders, Kyle Boller, Jamal Lewis and Todd Heap the only team that seems to stand up is the Baltimore Ravens and they should win this division.
In the AFC South there seems to be no stopping one team and they didn’t get any worse in the off season. But let’s look at the division with the Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars and the Indianapolis Colts. Each team here has shown signs of brilliance in the past few years but hands down the champion in this division is the Indianapolis Colts (despite having a mediocre defense.) They still have Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison, Edgerrin James and Brandon Stokley and still have one of the most explosive offenses in the game. Adding to the mix is defensive minded coach Tony Dungy who is a major factor in improving the teams defense each and every year he's been in Indy.
Now let us look at the AFC East Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, New York Jets and the reigning Superbowl champs the New England Patriots. Can Ricky Williams still run like the wind even though he has taken a year off to "find himself?" I would say no but the jury is still out on this one. The one thing that Miami needed was to improve there offensive line and even former LSU coach Nick Saban can not help this team. The Buffalo Bills can not survive with J.P. Losman as their starter. Their defense is tough but the offense may be a nightmare.. On to the N.Y. Jets, Chad Pennington and the Jets have a shot at the wild card. Last but definently not least, the 3 time world champion New England Patriots. They have lost some defense and their offensive coordinator but they haven’t lost their determination which is "no one comes before the team." They still have Tom Brady and Corey Dillon and a firey goal to get back to the Superbowl. They will win their division.
In the AFC we are to the West Division including the Oakland Raiders, Denver Broncos, San Diego Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs. Oakland went out and got Randy Moss and is showing signs of life but it won't be enough. Randy's off field and sideline antics cross cancel the briliance he shows on the field so we make him a non factor. Dude really needs to keep his mouth shut. His latest public tirade included letting us all know that he smokes dope sometimes during the year. Too bad he can't talk about winning games rather than smoking dope, 'nough said.
Denver has a running game just like every year but can Jake “the snake� Plummer lead them to the promise land? His past has been checkered with inconsistency however he's coming into the prime of his career and we may see huge numbers, especially with the good group of receivers he has. We REALLY like Ashley Lelie. The Chargers have Drew Brees and LaDainian Tomlinson but they still have no field goal kicker and they may have a good year and make the wild card if they can follow up on a season in which we feel they over achieved.. Then we have the Kansas City Chiefs who we should see more of the same from, great on offense, questionable on defense but good enough to potentially make the playoffs. A lot will hinge on the legs of stud RB Priest Holmes.
So we have the Ravens, Colts, Patriots, Chiefs, Jets and the Broncos. In the AFC title game I believe it will be the same as the last year’s title game as no team can handle the team play of New England or the high octane offense of the Colts. The road to the Superbowl runs thru Foxboro yet again and with manning 0-7 there one would think that he just can’t win there. However this is the year for manning to secure his legacy and finally make it to the big dance they will beat the Patriots 27- 20 in the bitter snow and cold.
Tomorrow the NFC
