Colts play Vikings in Superbowl XLIII???

by skywalker on Jul 30, 2008 11:31 AM EDT

NFL Predictions anyone? I have took it upon myself to live through this season. Thoughts and comments appreciated

AFC East-Patriots (duh go figure)
AFC North-Picking the Steelers to win it with Cleveland close behind
AFC South-Colts win division, Jags make wild card.
AFC West-Chargers win division, no one else close.

2nd wild card either goes to Cleveland or Houston(yes the texans). Tennessee will suck this year and nobody else challenges in the other divisions.

NFC East-Giants. Screw the "trendy" Cowboys pick. The Giants won the superbowl and are still getting looked over.WTH.
NFC North-Vikings. Packers without favre will end in the crapper. Can anyone name a quality starter on the Bears? LOL-LIONS!
NFC South-Saints. Many improvements by NO. Shockey on O and Vilma on D. TB has suspect qb and rb. Carolina is not great.
NFC West-Rams. Cripple fight anyone? Anyone can win this division. IF STL stays healthy and Jackson is Jackson then its theirs.

wild cards go to Cowboys and Eagles. 3 teams out of the East make the playoffs.

Playoff Ranking
AFC
(1) Patriots
(2) Colts
(3) Chargers
(4) Steelers
(5) Jaguars
(6) Browns (im leaning to them more)

Wild Card Games

(3) Chargers beat (6) Browns with relative ease.
(5) Jaguars beat (4) Steelers in a come from behind upset.

Divisional Games

(1) Patriots defeat the (3) Chargers in an epic game.
(2) Colts take care of the (5) Jaguars for the third time this season

Championship Game

(2) Colts and (1) Patriots as it should be take it to overtime and the Colts punish the Patriots secondary while the Patriots decide to pound the ball on the ground. Both teams exposing each others weaknesses. The difference being that the Colts strength is passing and the Patriots cant run the ball too well. Colts win Superbowl 42 1/2

NFC
(1) Giants
(2) Vikings
(3) Saints
(4) Rams
(5) Cowboys
(6) Eagles

Wild Card Games
(5) Cowboys get over the hump and beat the (3) Saints
(6) Eagles surprise everyone and take care of the (4) Rams

Divisional Games
(6) Eagles and mobile McNabb scramble about and defeat the (1) Giants in a close one.
(2) Vikings and Adrian Peterson run over the (5) Cowboys as T.O cries and Romo fumbles and Wade Phillips is fired. go figure.

Championship Game
(6) Eagles and (2) Vikings??? Are you kidding me? This is the Championship game? (2) Vikings keep up the form that got them here and again run against the (6) Eagles. Vikings make their first ever Superbowl!

Superbowl
(2) Colts play (2) Vikings for Superbowl XLIII
The battle tested Colts handle the Vikings in a thrilling game in which both teams have the lead. Colts have Superbowl number 2 in 3 years

Vikings

In the 1970’s the Vikings were in 4 Super Bowls, and lost everyone. They were like the Disco Bills.

Super Bowl IX: Pittsburg Steelers 16, Minnesota Vikings 6
Super Bowl XI: Oakland Raiders 32, Minnesota Vikings 14

Vikes

I can’t see the Vikings going that far with Tavaris Jackson at QB. How does their crappy QB play make them better than the Packers with a former first round pick at the helm? Green Bay probably won’t win 13 games, but the Vikings still have a long way to go in my opinion to catch them.

Also, Cleveland is this year’s Jets. Surprised people last year, but fall on their faces the next year.

if anyone has their own predictions i wouldnt mind seeing them

Sorry, but you made some errors...

A third seed(Chargers) cannot play a first seed(Patriots) in a divisional PO-round, as the highest seed remaining(Pats) should play the lowest seed remaining(5. Jags)

These games need to be fixed:

Games in the divisional round in the AFC
Wildcard Games in the NFC

Oh, and I don’t believe for a second, that the G-men will be able to be the #1 seed in the NFC. If last year showed us anything, it is that Giants perform well in do-or-die situations. Not in the regular season games(Until they had to win everyone en route to get to the PO’s).

Looking forward to an edited edition.
