OK kids, here you go, Geoausch’s predictions for the upcoming NFL Season.
Let’s start with the division champions.
AFC East - New England Patriots (11-5) The Patriot take a giant step back, after a giant let down to finish last season. Brady is gimpy and the Patriots in-game scouting has taken a big hit. They’ll still have enough to win the AFC East, but don’t be surprised if the Patriots do not get a first round bye this season.
AFC North - Pittsburgh Steelers (11-5) The Steelers play in a favorable division and should have no problem with division opponents. Where the Steelers will run into trouble is the NFC East portion of their schedule.
AFC South - Indianapolis Colts (12-4) Once Manning returns and is healthy, the Colts should be able to return to dominance. Another division title, another first round bye and another home playoff loss to end the season.
AFC West - San Diego Chargers (13-3) Though Oakland will be improved, Denver is the only team in the division anywhere near the level of the Chargers. Chargers should have home field throughout the playoffs and they will take full advantage of it.
Wild Card - New Jersey Jets (10-6) Favre has an immediate impact on already improving team.
Jacksonville Jaguars (10-6) The best 2nd place team in the NFL.
NFC East - Dallas Cowboys (14-2) You’re damn right I’m biased.
NFC North – Minnesota Vikings (10-6) Packers slip after losing Favre. Vikings defense should be one of the best in the NFL. If you run the ball and stop the run, you will win a lot of games. At some point, you do have to throw and that will be the downfall of the Vikings.
NFC South - New Orleans Saints (8-8) Weak conference produces the weakest of conference champions.
NFC West - San Francisco 49ers (9-7) 49ers will finish tied with the Seahawks for the West title. However, the 49ers will win the division on tie breakers.
Wild Card - Philadelphia Eagles (11-5) Philly will be improved with McNabb healthy. Phans will be as sorry as ever. Phuck Philly!
New York Giants (9-7) Giants get in as a wild-car again, but cannot repeat the magic of last year’s post-season.
AFC Championship - Chargers over Jets – Favre performs a miracle and leads Jets to AFC Championship game. However, the Jets are no match for the Chargers.
NFC Championship - Cowboys over Eagles – Phuck Philly!
Super Bowl XLIII - Cowboys over Chargers – Sure, it’s a fashionable pick, but I did pick the 49ers to win their division.

Thank god…finally a concise prediction! Not to mention the only one that doesn’t mention “Jessica Simpson” and “Dallas Cowboys” in the same breath!
