2006 NFL Predictions
Brought to you by JSM Cafe:Sports!
NFC-
East:
Dallas Cowboys (11-5)-With the addition of T.O. They now have a strong foundation on both sides of the ball.
New York Giants (10-6)*- Eli Manning will carry this team and rise above the New York spotlight.
Philadelphia Eagles (8-8)- The addition of Stallworth and a healthy McNabb will lead to a slight rebound in Philly.
Washington Redskins (7-9)- The least stable quarter back situation and the injury to Portis drop the skins to the bottom of the heap, at least for this season.
North:
Minnesota Vikings (10-6)- They may have a top ten defense this season and could take an up for grabs division, if Brad Johnson stays healthy and Chester Taylor comes on.
Chicago Bears (8-8)- They will struggle until their quarter back controversy gets settled. Their defense will need to carry them again, as will RB Thomas Jones.
Detroit Lions (6-10)- Originally my "surprise team," but then I came to my senses. Probably still a year a way.
Green Bay Packers (3-13)- A mess all across the board, Favre may already regret coming back.
South:
Carolina Panthers (13-3)- The most complete team in the NFC.
Tampa Bay Bucs (9-7)- Will challenge for a wild card spot.
Atlanta Falcons (7-9)- Will once again underachieve. Vick can take them just so far.
New Orleans Saints (6-10)- Could start strong, but will fade into the abyss.
West:
Seattle Seahawks (11-5)- When will the Madden curse rear it's ugly head?
Arizona Cardinals (9-7)*- My surprise team, I think the Cardinals will sneak in with a ferocious offense.
St. Louis Rams (7-9)- Will fall a little short of the playoffs this year.
San Francisco 49ers (5-11)- Still a year a way or maybe two or three. Vernon Davis will be a good addition.
