NFL Week 1: Predictions/Picks

Hello everyone,

I know, I know - The first match is already over, but I'd like to share my predictions with everyone.

New Orleans Saints @ Green Bay Packers
- Winner: Green Bay Packers.
--Yes, it's already over but I really did pick them - I can proof it, if you ask me to.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens
- Winner: Pittsburgh Steelers.
-- As you saw in my season predictions, I feel good about both of these teams - but, for me Steelers are the better team, they'll take a win in Baltimore!

Tennessee Titans @ Jacksonville Jaguars
- Winner: Tennessee Titans.
-- This is a very close match, but, I believe that without Garrard Jaguars will have a tough time - IMHO Hasselbeck defeats Luke McCown easily, I beg of you Jacksonville; Start Gabbert!

Philadelphia Eagles @ St. Louis Rams
- Winner: Philadelphia Eagles.
-- The infamous 'Dream Team' from Philly will take this IMHO, but, I'd like to believe The Rams will put up a fight. I'll cheer for Rams in this one, but, I see the Eagles taking it.

Atlanta Falcons @ Chicago Bears
- Winner: Atlanta Falcons.
-- Well, I'm a Bears fan, but, I've chosen to be objective during my predictions... At least this time... Matty Ice might do a lot of good in this game, but, I do see Bears doing a lot of great things too.

Indianapolis Colts @ Houston Texans
- Winner: Houston Texans.
-- Had this been a complete healthy Colts team, I'd have chosen them to win - but, without Manning The Colts aren't that great...

Buffalo Bills @ Kansas City Chiefs
- Winner: Kansas City Chiefs.
-- This is a tough one... But, my gut says Chiefs.

Detroit Lions @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Winner: Detroit Lions.
-- The Lions will have a great season... And they'll take the win here. They simply are the best of these two.

Minnesota Vikings @ San Diego Chargers
- Winner: San Diego Chargers.
-- The Chargers will have great year... The Vikings won't - as simple as that!

New York Giants @ Washington Redskins
- Winner: New York Giants.
-- The Giants will take a great win in Skin' Country! I really like Grossman, but, his opponents simply are better.

Carolina Panthers @ Arizona Cardinals
- Winner: Carolina Panthers.
-- This is another tough one, but, I see Carolina taking it - but, I wouldn't be surprised to see Cardinals destroying them.

Seattle Seahawks @ San Francisco 49'ers
- Winner: Seattle Seahawks.
-- Yes, the Seattle QB's aren't that great - but, neither are the 49'ers'... Seattle will take this one, that's my gut feeling.

Dallas Cowboys @ New York Jets
- Winner: New York Jets.
-- I really look forward to this game! My father's favorite team (Cowboys) takes on one of the teams I see winning the Super Bowl. I just don't see Dallas doing a lot in this game...

New England Patriots @ Miami Dolphins
- Winner: New England Patriots.
-- The Pats will take the win here, these are two opposites... Phins = Bad season, Pats = Great season.

Oakland Raiders @ Denver Broncos
- Winner: Denver Broncos.
-- Why the Broncos? Answer: They simply have more skill this season IMHO...

Hopefully, I'll go 16-0 this week - but I'll follow up.

Thank you,

I'm Jeffrey Rex!

Revisited NFL Picks for the Season!

Hello everyone,

I have chosen to take another look at the entire picks of the NFL, I’ll do that in this post! Beginning right now.

Here are my revisited picks for the AFC divisions:

Placement	AFC East	AFC North	AFC South	AFC West
1.	Patriots	Steelers	Colts	Chargers
2.	Jets	Ravens	Texans	Chiefs
3.	Bills	Browns	Titans	Broncos
4.	Dolphins	Bengals	Jaguars	Raiders

I don’t believe I’ve changed much in the AFC East picks; the Pats simply are to tough in this division, sorry Jets. The Bills will take 3rd place in front of the ’Phins. So that’s that.

In the AFC North Steelers will once again reign, the Ravens will come close – but will ultimately fail. I have a lot of faith in the Browns, and I don’t see the Dalton Bengals win against the McCoy Browns.

Moving on to the AFC South; The Colts will once again win the division and Texans won’t get a Wildcard… Locker’s Titans & Gabbert’s Jags will be locked in a battle for 3rd place all year!

I’ve changed a lot in the AFC West, at first I thought that the Chiefs would be amazing this year, but right now – I just don’t see them take the division after all.

Next up is the NFC Division!:

Placement	NFC East	NFC North	NFC South	NFC West
1.	Eagles	Packers	Falcons	Rams
2.	Giants	Bears	Saints	Cardinals
3.	Cowboys	Lions	Panthers	Seahawks
4.	Redskins	Vikings	Buccaneers	49ers

I didn’t have a lot of problems picking in the NFC East, the [in]famous ’’dream team’’ from Philly will win the division, not easily – but they’ll win. The Giants will be better than both the ’Boys & The ’Skins this year, and the latter two wil fight all of this year for 3rd place.

It hurts my Bear-heart to say that the Packers will take the division this year… But hey, they probably will. I have a lot of believe in the Bears, but also the Lions this year! The Lions will fight the Bears for 2nd place, but they’ll end up with a 8-8 record – whilst the Bears will have a winning season. The Vikes will have a lot of problems this year, but, they’ll return next year with a great young QB in Christian Ponder.

In the NFC South I see Ryan’s Falcons defeating Brees’ Saints, this year – no doubt fo me here. The Panthers will take 3rd, in a division were the real fight will be for 3rd place, between them and the Bucs.

This year I see Sam Bradford leading the Rams to a division title, Seattle and Arizona won’t keep up, and the 49ers might have the first pick in next year’s draft!

So, IMHO The Pats, Steelers, Colts, Chargers, Packers, Falcons, Eagles & Rams will be in the Playoffs due to them winning their divisions, but who’ll take the two wildcards? Here’s my opinion:

- The New York Jets will come close to winning their division, but will ultimately fail due to an amazing Patriot team. The Jets will go to the Playoffs with a Wildcard – and the Ravens will also get a Wildcard. In the NFC it’s a tough challenge to find the Wildcard Teams… I see the Saints getting the first Wildcard – and then it's a battle between the Bears and the Giants!

So to sum up:

DIVISION WINNERS:
- Patriots
- Steelers
- Colts
- Chargers
- Packers
- Falcons
- Eagles
- Rams

WILDCARDS:
- Jets (AFC)
- Ravens (AFC)
- Saints (NFC)
- Bears (NFC)

… But who’ll win the NFC & the AFC Championships? I see the Jets winning the AFC Championship! The New York Wildcard team will pull a Packer-10-playoff-season, and go to the Super Bowl! In the NFC I see the Falcons going to the Super Bowl this season, and winning the NFC Championship!

In the battle between the two Champions, the Jets will finally get their Super Bowl rings! A great defence combined with a better Sanchez and great running game will give them the ultimate victory this season!

NFC CHAMP:
- Atlanta Falcons

AFC CHAMP:
- New York Jets

Super Bowl Champions:
- New York Jets


In the Next post I’ll take a look at the other picks I need to make – for example MVP of the Season!

NFL 11/12 Preview: AFC NORTH

…Dary! Legendary!!

Hello everyone, I’m Jeffrey Rex!

Next up is the AFC – North!

AFC – North:

AFC – North

1. Baltimore Ravens

2. Pittsburgh Steelers

3. Cleveland Browns

4. Cincinnati Bengals

- This is the Division of the interesting rookie WideReceivers, in Baltimore we have Torrey Smith, Greg Little in Cleveland & A.J. Green in Cincinnati. I’d look out for these guys if I were you! The Bengals have a good team, BUT, they have no intention of starting Andy Dalton – as I understand them. So they’ll probably start with Gradkowski – I see this team being very unlucky this year… The Browns have a good starting QB, McCoy is gonna be good this year – his number of fans will rise! I look forward to see if Hillis wil have a bad year, possibly due to the Madden Curse! I don’t think that they have done much in Pittsburgh – but then again, did they need to? I really don’t think so, the team has a lot of talent and will be good once again… But, the Ravens will win this year – they have gotten better – and I see Flacco having a great year! But it will be close, possibly right down to the blowing of the whistle!

Once again, I’m Jeffrey Rex!

And the next post will be Legen… Wait for it!
