If Larry Johnson plays and shares carriers/catches with Jamaal Charles I think they'll have a good to above average running game. With that said, adding Cassel and Engram to Bradley/Bowe will give them a decent WR core. The defense will be the key, I think the ne w coaching and management will turn KC around. It's my 'sleeper team' for 09.

If not, then the Browns

I wouldn't be surprised if KC has the #1 draft pick next year.

NFC East: Cowboys

NFC South: New Orleans

NFC North: Bears

NFC West: Cardinals

NFC Wild Cards: Minnesota and New Orleans

AFC East: Patriots

AFC South: Indy

AFC North: Browns (what kind of fan would I be if I didn't pick my team)

AFC West: Chargers

AFC Wild Cards: Steelers and Bills

I saw a stat somewhere that said that since 1990-something, 5 new teams make the playoffs every year.

And the Browns beat the Bears in the SB, with a market of 400 people outside of the Midwest watching. The commish declares that only one team outside of the BCS AFC/NFC East can play in the Super Bowl again.

I really don't care who wins other than the Browns, but here goes...

AFC North-dreaded Pittsburgh

AFC East- New England

AFC South- Tennessee

AFC West- San Diego

Wild Cards: Indy & Jacksonville

Browns: thinking 7-9 now, hopefully better than that...gotta stop the run or 4-12 is looming again

NFC North- Minnesota

NFC East- Dallas

NFC South- New Orleans

NFC West- Arizona

Wildcards: NYGiants, Atlanta

[Fred Garvin]

NFC East: Giants

NFC South: Falcons

NFC North: Bears

NFC West: Cardinals

NFC Wild Cards: Eagles and Saints

AFC East: Patriots

AFC South: Titans

AFC North: Ravens (no disrespect to this forum)

AFC West: Chargers

AFC Wild Cards: Colts and Steelers

Worst records: Lions and Broncos. Both 2 - 14.

You may want to revise your choices as you have the Saints making it twice, both as NFC South champs and as a wild card.

Nice trick if it could work. Somehow, I don't think the league will approve that arrangement however.

[Gips]

My picks are:

AFC East: Patriots

AFC South: Colts

AFC North: Steelers

AFC West: Chargers

AFC Wild Cards: Titans and Browns

NFC East: Redskins

NFC South: Buccaneers

NFC North: Vikings

NFC West: Cardinals

NFC Wild Cards: Bears and Cowboys

[David Sentendrey]

AFC

East: Patriots

North: Steelers

South: Colts (Titans lost Haynesworth and Colllins will fall off)

West: Chargers

Wild Card: Texans, Brownies!

NFC

East: Eagles

North: Viking

South: Falcons

West: Cardinals

Wild Card: Saints, Giants

This is exactly what will happen. I was told it in a dream.

NFC Wild Cards: Eagles and Panthers

Both teams have already been hit hard by injuries: Philly inside backer Stewart Bradley tore his ACL, and Carolina lost space-eating nose tackle Maake Kemoeatu.

And it looks like the Panthers may have lost Steve Smith - he was just carted off the field after suffering a shoulder injury.
