NFL Predictions

 Oh man, almost forgot to post these inevitably incorrect picks!

AFC East: Bills, Patriots*, Dolphins, Jets
AFC North: Browns, Ravens*, Steelers*, Bengals
AFC South: Titans, Colts, Texans, Jaguars
AFC West: Chiefs, Chargers*, Broncos, Raiders

NFC East: Cowboys, Eagles, Football Team, Giants
NFC North: Packers, Bears*, Vikings, Lions
NFC South: Buccaneers, Saints, Falcons, Panthers
NFC West: 49ers, Seahawks*, Rams*, Cardinals

* = wild card teams

AFC Championship Game: Chiefs over Bills


NFC Championship Game: Buccaneers over Packers.  Oh, if you're wondering my take on the whole Aaron Rodgers situation, I think he is 99 percent dead-on with every criticism he has of the Packers organization, and it is amazing to me that this team has gone out of its way to alienate its franchise player.  I'd love to see Rodgers depart after one more Super Bowl win, but I think their window was realistically last year, before the Bucs became fully super-powered.  Gee, I wonder if having a first-round pick who did LITERALLY ANYTHING might have helped in last year's title game.  Oh well!

By the way, the Packers aren't actually making the NFC title game.  Doing literally nothing to improve their defense will (surprise) not make their defense any better, but this will somehow be twisted as Rodgers' fault.  The Bucs will beat the Seahawks.
