I do this every year, in part so I can look back and see how wrong I was (unless I get most of them right, in which case, I'm an awesome prognosticator).

(2) New England Patriots (AFC East Champion)

(2) Atlanta Falcons (AFC South Champion)
(3) Philadelphia Eagles (AFC East Champion)
(4) San Francisco Niners (AFC West Champion)
(5) New York Giants (Wild Card)
(6) Dallas Cowboys (Wild Card)

NFC Champion: Philadelphia Eagles

You know I read, reread, read again and even reread again. There must be a major typo as I don't see the St. Louis Rams anywhere listed in this prediction.

Wait until 2013.

Your list looks about as plausible as any other I've seen. I agree with you on Buffalo, just think they are going to surprise a lot of people.

Kinda surprised that you have 3 teams from the NFC East making the playoffs. Of course, stranger things have happened.

One other team to keep an eye on is Seattle. They have been making a lot of good moves lately and with any luck just might in the mix for a playoff spot.

Having said all that, Rams in 2013 sounds good to me!!

Av, if you don't mind, I think I'll piggy back on yours and we can compare at the end of the season. The good(or bad?) thing is, we agree on a lot of them, but my wildcards are certaily different.

AFC

(1) New England Patriots (AFC East Champion)
(2) Houston Texans (AFC South Champion)
(3) Baltimore Ravens (AFC North Champion)
(4) Denver Broncos (AFC West Champion)
(5) Kansas City Chiefs (Wild Card)
(6) Pittsburgh Steelers (Wild Card)

AFC Champion: Baltimore Ravens over Denver(Mainly because I want Manning to beat Brady one last time in Foxboro)

NFC

(1) Green Bay Packers (AFC North Champion)
(2) Philadelphia Eagles (AFC East Champion)
(3) Atlanta Falcons (AFC South Champion)
(4) San Francisco Niners (AFC West Champion)
(5) Chicago Bears (Wild Card)
(6) New Orleans Saints (Wild Card)

NFC Champion: Philadelphia Eagles over Atlanta

Super Bowl XLVII - Why dont they just hold these in the middle of I95?
Baltimore Ravens 31 over Philadelphia Eagles 27
