It's a no brainer that the Colts look tough but did they peak too early? Can the Chicago Bears muster up enough offense to compete vs. a team like the Colts? Will Seattle's receiving corps be healthy enough to lead them to the promise land? Will their underrated defense keep doing the job? These are all questions that once answered will determine the Super Bowl winner this year.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to notice that the Colts have been stellar this year. Their not a lock to win the big one by any means though, especially since injuries took a toll on them late in the season including stud WR Marvin Harrison who has a broken hand.
The Bears have installed Rex Grossman as their new starter. We have to question this though. Kyle Orton may have been erratic at times however he did make some big plays and lead this team to a 10-4 record before Lovie Smith just "gave" Grossman the job. Pretty questionable move. Ever heard the old addage: "If it ain't broke don't fix it?" Well we have and we're still scratching our heads about this move.
Next we move on to Seattle...This team is rock solid. They are our darkhorse to win it all. With homefield advantage throughout, they are lookin' real good.
In summary, any one of these three teams has a real good shot. In our opinion all three are head and shoulders above the rest and should all be considered as potential Super Bowl winners this year.
Here was my preseason Picks:
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.
Now let us take a look at the NFC and who the Patriots will be facing for Superbowl XL. In the NFC North we have Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears. With the Bears, they have no quarterback yet again (Rex Grossman went down with an injury again) and even though their defense is great with Brian Urlacher he may not be enough to give them a .500 record. The Detroit Lions have all the tools now and if Joey Harrington can do his job they will make the wildcard. He has all the weapons you could need in Roy Williams, Charles Rogers, Marcus Pollard, and Kevin Jones. I guess the ball is in Joey’s court. If he doesn't "bring it" by week 4 or so expect coach Mariucci to end the "Harrington experiment" and give the backup a shot.
Green Bay is a whole problem by itself even though they have Brett Favre, Ahman Green, Bubba Franks, Javon Walker and Donald Driver. The team really has no defense and you just can’t win with out that fellas. Last but not least, we have the Minnesota Vikings with Daunte Culpepper, Nate Burleson, Michael Bennett and minus the troublesome Randy Moss. Losing Moss hurt athletically but intellectually they have now become a better team with a more cohesive lineup. They will win there division easily.
In the NFC South we have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New Orleans Saints, Carolina Panthers and the Atlanta Falcons. Let us look at the Buc’s first and on that note there is not much to say except that Cadillac Williams and Brian Greise will help this team, just not enough this year. Then there are the "Aints." Ya know if Aaron Brooks were to get canned and their third string QB Kliff Kingsbury was to replace him it would probably create better results. The Saints have Joe Horn, Donte' Stallworth, Deuce McAllister and somewhat of a defense, the only thing that they are missing is a real QB. One day they'll figure it out and get somebody else in there, or will they?
The Carolina Panthers with DeShaun Foster, Steve Smith, the massive Julius Peppers and Jake Delhomme need only to stay healthy and they just very well may make it back to the division finals but they will need to get there as a wildcard. Last but not least our division winner... the Atlanta Falcons. With Michael Vick, Alge Crumpler, T.J. Duckett and Warrick Dunn there is no stopping them to getting back to winning their division. Vick will of course need to stay healthy which we believe he will as the plan is to have him run less and become more of a pocket passer. The guy could get away with it in his college days and in the college game but NFL defenses are simply too big and fast for his brittle frame. Nonetheless, the Falcons appear to be the winner here.
In the NFC East we have the reigning NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins and N.Y. Giants. With the Giants, Eli Manning needs another year or two. But don’t give up, good times are coming Giants fans. On to the Redskins with a BETTER than ever Brunell at QB. This offense features Clinton Portis, David Patten and Santana Moss. You would think that the Redskins stand a chance but even with Joe Gibbs they don’t this year. Better luck next year guys.
Well coach Parcel’s finally did it. He might have the right team to make Jerry Jones happy and go back to the Super Bowl. Getting Drew Bledsoe into an offense featuring Julius Jones, Jason Witten, Keyshawn Johnson and Terry Glenn just may be the answer if the D can hold up. Then there are the Eagles. Can they hold it together with all the media and B.S. as well as there internal struggle with Terrell Owens/Donovan McNabb. If the team continues to have internal turmoil they could implode by mid season and look "simply average." Even with a healthy Brian Westbrook they will not win their division this year, that honor will go to the Dallas Cowboys.
Now we move on to the NFC West with the San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals, St. Louis Rams and Seattle Seahawks. The 49ers are working on rebuilding for the what, 5th year? But they really think that they have the answer NOW with Rookie QB Alex Smith who they will sit for opening day. The days of Joe Montana are long gone here as even if Smith had the skills, their offensive line is nothing better than average and he's going to be thrown around like a ragdoll by opposing defenses, especially with no run game to respect.
The Arizona Cardinals look good this year with players Anquan Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald, J.J. Arrington and what should be a "better" Kurt Warner. Most people say that Warner is done, guess again guys. On to St. Louis and the Rams Torry Holt, Isaac Bruce, Marc Bulger, Steven Jackson and his now back up Marshall Faulk. Can the Rams go the distance? Time will tell, but we don't think so. Not this yr. Last we have the Seattle Seahawks. Coach Holmgren has really done a good job at assembling this team that appears to have everything but star wide receivers. Darrell Jackson is probably going to shine though this year in the prime of his careeer and Bobby Engram is a great possession receive. We like this team as a darkhorse to win a bunch of games with a more improved QB Matt Hasselback however we see the Arizona Cardinals winning the division. Dennis Green's hard work will prove to finally pay off.
Ok, let's recap my picks:The Vikings, Falcons, Cowboys, Cardinals, Panthers, and the Eagles. The Falcons play the Cowboys and the D is too much for Vick to overcome and the Cowboys go back to the Superbowl with a final score of 27-21 with Dallas coming out on the victorious end. Then Dallas meets Manning’s Colts at Superbowl XL with the Cowboys not being able to handle the high octane offense and Peyton and company finally get their just reward stifling all the doubting Thomas’s of the Football World. Final score 37–14 Colts
