2011 NFL Season: Final Predictions

In my ever changing predictions…I think I have watched enough Pre Season, analyzed enough transactions, and finally trust my gut enough to put it down in writing….My season predictions.

AFC East
New England Patriots	12–4	Very Established team with a franchise QB…problems arise with physicality
New York Jets	10–6	Solid team with a great pressure filled defense…I think Sanchez will miss some of his weapons
Buffalo Bills	7–9	Slowly improving team. Does Fitzpatrick have enough help on offense though?
Miami Dolphins	5–11	I see this team plummeting around midseason…lame duck coach will only inspire team so long.

AFC North
Pittsburgh Steelers	12–4	Does this team ever slow down? Offense looks on par with defense.
Baltimore Ravens	10–6	Could be the last hurrah for Ray Lewis and Ed Reed? Too bad I don’t see them slaying the Steelers
Cleveland Browns	6–10	Team is going the right direction and will push the Steelers and Ravens…in 2012
Cincinnati Bengals	3–13	Team is in rebuild mode…Bengals are in constant rebuild mode.

AFC South
Houston Texans	10–6	I feel like I am not studying history when making this prediction.
Indianapolis Colts	9–7	Mojo is just not there for the Colts who will fall behind the 8 ball quickly.
Tennessee Titans	6–10	Nice to see CJ back but this team has defensive problems that will hinder them.
Jacksonville Jaguars	5–11	QB play, lack of weapons, and a defense that can not be counted on will make Del Rio’s seat…very warm.

AFC West
San Diego Chargers	11–5	Team is built for a championship…coaches will keep them from attaining it.
Kansas City Chiefs	7–9	Chiefs will regret letting Weis go.
Oakland Raiders	6–10	I sense the Raiders are going to be horribly inconsistent from week to week. Just a guess.
Denver Broncos	5–11	I think Elway/Fox will get the Broncos going the right direction…but time and patience will be needed.

Wild Card	Winners
Jets @ Chargers	Chargers	Jets just aren’t as good and Rex Ryan can only do so much.
Ravens @ Texans	Ravens	Texans just are too green in the Playoffs and it’s a Rule of Thumb the Ravens are always good for 1 playoff win.

Divisional Round
Chargers @ Steelers	Steelers	No way the Chargers go into Pittsburgh and pull out a victory.
Ravens @ Patriots	Ravens	Patriots lack of physicality on offensive and defensive line will be exposed against the Ravens.

AFC Championship
Ravens @ Steelers	Steelers	Sorry Ravens fans but I do not even remember the last time the Ravens beat the Steelers when Big Ben was playing.

Super Bowl
Steelers vs. Falcons	Steelers	Close game, but Steelers will come up on top in another great Super Bowl



NFC East
Philadelphia Eagles	11–5	Offensive line and Vick’s health will prevent them from winning more.
Dallas Cowboys	10–6	I think Garrett will get the Cowboys back to elite status.
New York Giants	9–7	Tough offseason for the Giants losing Austin, Thomas, and Amukamara for a while…doesn’t bode well.
Washington Redskins	6–10	Offense looks sound with Shanahan family running it…too bad defense will have some problems.

NFC North
Green Bay Packers	12–4	There will be no Super Bowl Hangover for this team.
Detroit Lions	11–5	If injuries do not hit this team, they can hang with anyone.
Chicago Bears	8–8	Lot of luck went their way in 2010…unlikely it will happen 2 years in a row. Plus Bears always let down after good season.
Minnesota Vikings	5–11	Lines of scrimmage are not what they once were.

NFC South
Atlanta Falcons	12–4	Hardly any weaknesses on the team. I think they are primed for greatness.
New Orleans Saints	11–5	Brees looks past last season turnovers…I sense a battle for the NFC South Crown.
Tampa Bay Buccs	8–8	I give this team the Most Overrated Label. Young and inexperienced…I think 2012 will be there year.
Carolina Panthers	3–13	Newton will struggle and this team will be discussing Andrew Luck next season….I hope I am wrong.

NFC West
St. Louis Rams	9–7	Weak division will allow a mediocre team to post 9 wins.
Arizona Cardinals	8–8	I think Kolb to Fitzgerald will be exciting…too bad the rest of the team is not.
Seattle Seahawks	5–11	No QB will doom the team. I think not bringing back Hasselbeck was a sign that they will be in play for Luck.
San Fransisco 49ers	4–12	They look plain horrible. Bottom line.

Wild Card	Winners
Lions @ Eagles	Lions	Vick will be on his last legs at this time and will not be able to escape Suh and the rest of the Pride.
Saints @ Rams	Saints	Saints will not repeat last season’s NFC West debacle.

Divisional Round
Lions @ Falcons	Falcons	Close game but Falcons will not be upset at home.
Saints @ Packers	Packers	Battle supreme comes down to playing in Lambeau Field

NFC Championship
Falcons @ Packers	Falcons	Matt Ryan will earn his elite status this post season.
