In a few hours, football comes out of hibernation. I see great things this season: the Fantasy title belt returning home to me, the Lions winning 13 games, and a continuation of the Brett Favre drama.
And because it needs to be posted again...
NFC East
Dallas Cowboys
Philadelphia Eagles
NY Giants
Washington Redskins
I see the Giants having a stereotypical letdown season after winning the Super Bowl - only to 7-9, but out of the playoffs. I think the Cowboys are too talented to not win 12-13 games again this season.
NFC North
Minnesota Vikings
Green Bay Packers
Detroit Lions
Chicago Bears
Keep in mind these standings are under the assumption Favre goes to Minnesota. If he doesn't, it will be a toss-up between Minnesota and Green Bay for the division.
NFC South
New Orleans Saints
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Carolina Panthers
Atlanta Falcons
I REALLY like the Saints this year - you'll see how much in just a bit. I think they have a huge bounce back year.
NFC West
Arizona Cardinals
Seattle Seahawks
St Louis Rams
San Francisco 49ers
I think the surprise of the season will be the Cardinals. The Seahawks have been dominant in this division for a while, but they are starting to age - kind of like the Pistons. I have a lot of confidence that Matt Leinart will step up this year - he should with as many offensive weapons as they have.
AFC East
New England Patriots
NY Jets
Buffalo Bills
Miami Dolphins
Patriots continue to dominate in a weak division. Next...
AFC North
Pittsburgh Steelers
Cincinnati Bengals
Cleveland Browns
Baltimore Ravens
Everyone LOVES the Browns, but I last year was a special blip. I say they go 6-10 or 7-9 in what will once again be a competitive division with a tough schedule (they play the NFC East and the AFC South).
AFC South
Indianapolis Colts
Houston Texans
Jacksonville Jaguars
Tennessee Titans
I also see the Jaguars to regress after last year. I don't think they have the offensive talent to win week after week.
AFC West
San Diego Chargers
Denver Broncos
Oakland Raiders
Kansas City Chiefs
I think this division will have improved from last year - word out of training camp is that Darren McFadden is progressing very quickly.
AFC Wild Card: Denver Broncos, Cincinnati Bengals
NFC Wild Card: Philadelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
AFC Champions: New England Patriots
NFC Champions: New Orleans Saints
Super Bowl Champions: New England Patriots
I've heard some people say that they will play all season with a chip on their shoulder because they lost the Super Bowl last year. I like that reasoning, but I like their talent even more. I think they are too stacked to not win it all this year.
Fantasy Players I Like
Well, let's not give away all of my thoughts. That would just be silly.

You beat me to it!!!
I was going to prepare my NFL picks post today, but since you already did, I'll just post right here.
NFC East: Cowboys
NFC North: Where Brett Favre ends up.
NFC South: Saints
NFC West: Seahawks
Wild Card: Eagles, Panthers
AFC East: Patriots
AFC North: Steelers
AFC South: Colts
AFC West: Chargers
Wild Card: Broncos, Jaguars
Completely agree with your thoughts on the Giants, Browns, and Saints.
Disagree about the Cardinals (Warner will be starting by Week 6, mark it down!), Jaguars, and Bengals being a wild card team.
My Super Bowl pick:
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New Orleans Saints.
Love the Saints, like you. Nobody is talking about Pittsburgh, even though they've upgraded at WR, have a great TE in Miller, and a dynamic 1-2 in Parker and Mendenhall on the ground. If Troy P. can stay healthy and lead that D, I think they got a shot.
My fantasy "sleepers"?
Vince Young, Joey Harrington, Ahman Green, Kevin Jones, and Michael Vick.
Oh darn, I've given away all my sleeper picks...now Kevin is going to draft all of them. Ah shoot.
And I still love that commercial =).
Have you seen the fantasy football commercial where the guy hands his buddy a beer and says, "Now at least you have had one good draft," or something like that.
Haha, cracks me up.
Fuck you. I'm going to draft Harrington, Young and Jones out of spite.
But Ahman Green will never be on any of my fantasy teams ever again. I'll play without a RB before I draft him.
I took your fantasy sleepers seriously for about a minute and a half until I saw Vick was on that list.
Kevin - don't draft Michael Vick before round 10 this year.
Is he even available to draft???
If so, I will give you a dollar, Kevin, to draft him with your first round pick.
Think about it.
I hate you both.
Fuck Off and Die.....FOUR WORDS!
That's just an emotional reaction.
I'll ask you again in a couple weeks when you've calmed down.
With Favre going to NYJ, I am not adjusting my predictions at all. They will finish 2nd to the Pats and miss the playoffs while Minnesota will with the NFC North.
