Perhaps switch 2 and 3 around.

I know there a lots of dedicated Browns fans around here, but this ordering seems unlikely to me. At worst the Bengals shoot it out for the second spot in this division -- with either the Steelers or the Ravens -- and will have a > .500 record, and a wild-card berth.
Next year though -- that's when the personnel changes by the lake, the FA's and draft day picks, that's when I think they kick into gear for the Browns.

I'd be surprised to see Tennessee dragging ass two years in a row.

Can the Skins shock the world this year?

I'd like to see Favre go out on a high note -- but this order looks as likely as any right now.

Carolina. Numero Uno.

St Louis becomes resurgent. Garners top spot.

You picked the Browns over the Bengals?

That's all I had to see to ignore the rest of your predictions.

On the AFC North (almost typed "central") How you pick Bal ahead of Pittsburgh, I'm not sure.(I'm a Steeler hater btw) Also... I would also pick the Bengals ahead of the Browns, but I see it more like Browns 6-10, 7-9ish... and the Bengals 8-8 probably... problem with them is that they have to play 4 in division games where the other team is clearly better.

In the West... Oakland ahead of KC? Somebody is high.

East, well... tough to call... anything can happen there, I think... I could even see the Dolphins getting out of the cellar... not by much though.

South looks about right.

NFC-

East- The Skins won't be shocking the world... if shocking the World means beating the Eagles, they might be better than Dallas though.

North- Looks about right, but the Vikes could tank... and so could any of the rest of them...

South- Hmmm... Anything could happen again... the Falcons can run the ball better than anyone.... (Unless Stephen Davis returns to his old form for sure... I'm assuming he's still a Panther) So its those two teams ahead of everyone else... but if the Saints could freaking Cover someone... they might not be that bad in spite of Aaron Brooks.

West-- The Cards aren't that good yet. But on the other hand this division is one of those things where you pick the team with the smallest question marks....



South... looks about right.

It's not as much saying that the Browns will be good as it is saying that the Bengals are going to be just as bad as ever. When the Bengals win something...get back to me. Until then, you are still in the basement with us.

Yep - should have been clear there -- in my eyes a Skins shocker this season will be getting a better record than Dallas.
