The Lockout needs to end, forreals.

So heres my Predictions for NFL season.

NFC North Winner: Packers
NFC East Winner: Eagles
NFC South Winner: Falcons
NFC West Winner: Cardinals
NFC WC #1: Buccaners
NFC WC #2: Lions
Miss Playoffs: Giants, Saints, Bears, Cowboys

AFC North Winner: Ravens
AFC East Winner: Patriots
AFC South Winner: Colts
AFC West Winner: Chargers
AFC WC #1: Jets
AFC WC #2: Steelers
Miss: Cheifs, Raiders, Texans

Super Bowl: Ravens VS Eagles

The Lions are my favorite team, and an extremely talented bunch of guys with a glaring weakness on the offensive line. Backus is a solid right tackle, but he's currently the starting LT for some reason. Cherilus is alright, but again, nothing spectacular, he'll most likely be shopped in the near future. Stephen Peterman makes me want to straight up kill his ass, and I want him gone ASAP. Rob Sims was a great addition. Raiola is meh, but he makes the right calls when they need him to, so I'd say leave him on the team for a while. Not quite sure they'll make the playoffs this year, but next season I can see them winning the division. Of course that obviously revolves around whether or not the great Matthew Stafford can stay healthy. I fully expect him to be a stud, and the whole Bobby Layne story bullshiz just makes everything so much better. (Stafford attended the same HS as Bobby Layne.)

Also if Fairley can get healthy. They are going to have one of the best D-lines in the leauge.

It seems like the Eagles (My favortie team), only weakness is at LB. And if Casey Mathews can turn into a good player we will be fine.

Carolina is a HUGE sleeper, last year they were marred by injuries on their entire line and the best RB tandem in the entire league had injuries because of it. The great Jimmy Clausen never got a chance to prove himself because as soon as he would hike the ball he was getting hit. If the injuries don't hit the Panthers then once again Tampa will be last in the South because they just flat out SUCK. New Orleans seems to be on a downfall so I see them having around a .500 season. But Carolina having Olsen and Shockey coming in will pull the double teams off of Steve Smith giving the deadliest reciever in the league ALOT more catches with Clausen throwing him the ball. Soon enough Scam will be off the team.

Pretty sure Fig Newton will start right away. You don't use your first overall pick on a backup. Hopefully for Panther fans Newton bombs right away or gets hurt, otherwise Clausen will be goneski in a flash.

Also, why's everybody so down on the Fish? Henne is a solid QB imo, they just need to give him some pieces to work with. The guy is forced to make bad decisions, so if the Fish would've gotten an elite TE, Henne could lead the team to a winning season. No playoffs because of their division, but a winning season is plausible.

I hope whats his face Campbell of the Raiders bombs this year and the Silver and Black go out and get a real QB in Luck or Barkley. The Raiders need their swag back, and hopefully a Luck or Barkley type of guy could do that.

If Pryor is eligible, he'll get drafted by the Miami Dolphins.. Or the Dolphins could trade for Brady Quinn, Broncos QB.

Pryor won't go to the Dolphins, he's an OSU alum. The Fish are owned by a HUGE Michigan fan, illustrated by Henne, Long, and their interest in Ryan Mallet (originally attended U of M, tranfered because Rich Rod is a fag.) And yes, I believe they would've picked Mallet in the third round if the Pats hadn't taken him.

Based on Last season's records. Carolina has the hardest schdule in the leauge.
