Sock Drawer's NFL Predictions
You probably remember my 2005 NFL predictions weren't so great. Let's make some equally bad ones for 2006.
NFC North
The Chicago Bears, according to their record, were the second-best team in the NFC last year. But anytime they played any quality team, they were beaten. HARD. Complete and total domination. If they were a fraction of the ball club their rep was, the Bears would have been dangerous. I'm pretty much seeing the same thing this year as they will probably get the #2 seed in the playoffs, complete with a bye week to prepare for their divisional round butt-whooping.
NFC South
Carolina Panthers
This is probably the second best team in the conference but I think their tough schedule will prevent them from nabbing the all-important bye week. Knowing how injuries accumulate on this team, that will keep them from getting far in the post-season.
NFC East
Philadelphia Eagles
I have considered every single team in this division as the Beast of the East at some point this summer. But there's no way I'm expecting the Giants to survive their brutal schedule, the Cowboys to survive T.O., and the Redskins to survive their awful offense. With McNabb healthy, they just might be able to make it to the post-season. And then get bounced.
NFC West
Seattle Seahawks
Other than weird trends like the post-Super Bowl slump or the Madden Curse, there's nothing to make me think the Goat's boys will not repeat as NFC Champs.
Wild Cards
Tampa Bay Bucs
Minnesota Vikings
This might be another year with an 8-8 team makes it to the post-season because I'm just not that impressed with most of the guys on this side of the league. The Vikings almost made it last year, ditched a number of questionable folks (including their coach) so they might have enough to scrap out enough wins to nab the final playoff slot. I keep hearing great things about the Bucs, and particularly Chris Simms, so I see them getting a good number of wins. And, oh year, they won the division last year and are pretty good.
Here's the Reader's Digest version:
NFC North
Chicago Bears
NFC South
Carolina Panthers
NFC East
Philadelphia Eagles
NFC West
Seattle Seahawks
Wild Cards
Tampa Bay Bucs
Minnesota Vikings
I'll try to get on the ball and get the AFC picks in before tomorrow night's NFL Kickoff between AFC potential powerhouses Miami and Pittsburgh.
