1) San Diego: Last years record: 11-5:  Nagging injuries, a slow start, and the Patriots derailed their season at the beginning and the end of the year.  A healthier, more experienced (read: less of a dumb ass) Phillip Rivers, Antonio Gates, a rock hard and opportunistic defense, and some guy named Ladainian Tomlinson will lead them to the Super Bowl this year.   Prediction: 14-2

2) Jacksonville: Last years record: 11-5:  This team is poised, but without a better passing game, they will fall short again.   Prediction: 13-3

3) Dallas:  Last years record: 13-3:  Explosive offense, dynamic D… Wade Phillips as coach, and Tony Romo still running around like a goofball.  Yeah, they’ll choke.  Prediction:  12-4

4) New England:  Last years record: 16-0:  Getting old?  Yes.  Still good?  Very.  They got embarrassed and choked last year.  They won’t win it this year, but they will show up when the ball is kicked in the air for the first time.   Prediction:  12-4

5) Indianapolis:  Last years record: 13-3:  As long as Peyton Manning is healthy, they’ll be good and have a legit shot to win… something just tells me they’re gonna fall into a little bad luck.  Prediction:  11-5

6) New Orleans:  Last years record:  7-9:  If they’re healthy, they’ll be a fun team to watch and a tougher team to beat.  Still lacking on D.   Prediction: 12-4

7) Philadelphia:  Last years record:  8-8:  They’re not higher because I didn’t want to be called a homer.  But really, what else is out there.  If Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook are healthy, this team is a serious contender to go to the Bowl.  D is improved… offense is was it is… inconsistent but explosive.  Prediction: 11-5

Pittsburgh:  Last years record:  10-6:  I hate Ben Rothlisberger, but I love Mike Tomlin.  This team will give the AFC headaches in the playoffs.   Prediction: 11-5

9) Green Bay:  Last years record:  13-3:  No Favre, no problem.  Aaron Rogers will do fine with that D and those receivers.  Prediction: 11-5

10) Minnesota:  Last years record:  8-8:  Adrian Peterson?  Check.  Great D?  Check.  Tavaris Jackson?  Ahem.  Prediction: 10-6

11) Houston:  Last years record:  8-8:  Gary Kubiak has the team headed in the right direction.  Matt Schaub is steady, Steve Slaton could be a nice player, the D could emerge as the best in the league, and the receivers are above average.  They’ll make some noise this year.  Prediction: 10-6

12) New York Giants:  Last years record: 10-6:  Yeah, they’re just not that good.  Nothings changed from last year.  Except they lost two of their best players on D… which is what got them to the playoffs and also a ring on their fingers.  Doubt me New Yorkers?  Eli Manning.  Prediction: 9- 7

13) Cleveland:  Last years record: 10-6:  Not sold on Derek Anderson.  Not sold on this team as a whole.  But they got the Dog in them and they just won’t give in to anyone.  Prediction: 9-7

14) Tennessee:  Last years record: 10-6:  I’m no longer a Vince Young fan.  But a Jeff Fisher coached team will always play tough (except when the team dumps players to save money)  Prediction:  10-6

15) Buffalo:  Last years record: 7-9:  Marshawn Lynch is a stud and the rest of the team is young and hungry.  Wont take them very far, but they’re on the rise.  Prediction: 9-7

16) Miami:  Last years record:  1-15:  The offense will be much better with Chad Pennington, and also added depth with Dave Chappelle… I mean Ricky Williams.  Don’t laugh… reports are he looks really good.  Prediction:  9-7

17) St. Louis:  Last years record:  3-13:  Mark Bulger healthy makes this team a contender for a playoff seed.  Maybe.   Prediction:  10-6

18) Denver:  Last years record: 7-9:  I just keep seeing Jake the Snake… not John Elway when I look at Jay Cutler.  I’m thinking that might change, but I think they’ll be disappointing overall.  Again.   Prediction:  9-7

19) New York Jets:  Last years record:  4-12:  Brett Favre makes them much more dangerous.  The D is solid… the O-Line is a possible Hall of Fame factory, and they have the Mangenius.   Prediction: 8-8

20) Arizona:  Last years record:  8-8: Ken Wisenhunt’s an ass… too bad, cause he’s got some good players on both sides of the ball.  Prediction: 8-8

21) Cincinnati:  Last years record:  7-9:  It just gets messier every year.   Prediction: 6-10

22) Seattle:  Last years record:  10-6:  I just hate this team.  I just don’t see what it is they have.  This is the year that makes Mike Holmgren never want to coach again.   Prediction:  6-10

23) Tampa Bay:  Last years record:  9-7:  I am really tired of Jeff Gaycia and Jon Gruden.  Prediction:  7-9

24) Oakland:  Last years record:  4-12:  I like Lane Kiffin.  That’s about all, but Jemarcus Russell and Darren McFadden make them better.  Prediction:  8-8

25) Detroit:  Last years record:  7-9:  Do they really need a team in Detroit?  They’ll be about the same this year too.  Prediction:  7-9

26) Baltimore:  Last years record:  5-11:  I like John Harbaugh, but they won’t be much better then last year.  Prediction 6-10

27) Chicago:  Last years record:  7-9;  They might finish with the worst record in the league.  How do you not draft a QB?  Prediction:  6-10

28) Washington:  Last years record:  9-7:  New coach… same team.  Jason Taylor isn’t the answer.  Prediction:  5-11

29) Kansas City:  Last years record:  4-12: Larry Johnson healthy makes them just slightly better.   Prediction 6-10

30)  San Francisco:  Last years record:  5-11:  This isn’t gonna get better any time soon.  Prediction:  3-13

31) Carolina:  Last years record:  7-9:  If you thought Steve Smith had an ugly personality and a bad temper… wait till their season is over.   Prediction:  3-13

32) Atlanta:  Last years record:  4-12:  Remember all the trash talking this team used to do?  HA!  Prediction:  2-14
