I picked my winners for week one. This year I am playing three fantasy football leagues, so there goes my bonus. I am at least relieved the fantasy links are blocked on my work computer, or else there would have been mayhem. Speaking of Fantasy football, in my first league, I drafted Peyton Manning but as a backup quarterback to Philip Rivers (sigh!, I didn't have any choice to draft any other 'better' quarterbacks, don't get me wrong, Rivers is a great QB, but it was downhill for him after 2009 season) in 9th round.
I mean c'mon now, Peyton being drafted in the 9th round? Whoever predicted that the world is coming to an end is possibly right.
For AFC East it is Pats all the way, Rex Ryan needs to pipe it down just like some bitter guys in sajha. LOL. He is NEVER going to win the superbowl.
AFC North has always been a fierce battle between Pittsburgh and Baltimore. I am not convinced Bengals will WIN the division, last year we did see some brilliance at the receiving end, and I am sure it will continue (AJ GREEN is my primary receiver in one of the leagues) but it will be a little premature to predict they will win it all. Terrell Suggs is gimpy, and Antonio Brown just torched Buffalo. I predict Steelers to win the division.
AFC South will be Houston. There are lots of star players in the team, and with Wade Philips defense, it has all the factors to decimate Indy, Jacksonville and Tennessee (Jake Locker? Really?). Andy Luck will shine, but not enough to beat Houston. Thanks to Irsay fool, it will take forever to win another division title for Indy.
AFC West is a battle between Broncos and Chargers. Hue Jackson paid a king’s ransom for Palmer who isn’t producing as desired, and with no Nnamdi anymore, I do not see Raiders winning. And Kansas City? Seriously??? Also, I do not think Manning is gonna make Broncos win the division. I have no clue what that guy was thinking when he joined Broncos when a very good team like 9ers was salivating for him. Who will he throw to? Eric Decker? He juggled the ball halfway through his touchdown catch today. I do not trust him. So it is going to be Chargers.
NFC North will be a battle between Green Bay and Detroit. Urlacher is not feeling good and the offensive line is poor, Julius Peppers is gimpy. Agreed they have Hester and they acquired Brandon Marshall but apart from him, who is Jay Cutler gonna throw to? Green Bay’s defense has been shored up, and now they have a chip-on-the-shoulder Cedric Benson from Cincinnati. They are formidable than ever. Vikes will NEVER win a division. They only have AP and Harvin and Jared Allen as their star players, (Oh and Matt Kalil too) but it will not be enough to threaten other rivals.
NFC East will be a close call. I do not think Eagles are gonna win, Vick is injured, and he is not a true pocket passer, Nnamdi and Jenkins are still learning the Philly defense. Except for Babin and LeSean McCoy, I do not see a TRUE star player there. Same with Cowboys, Miles Austin is Gimpy, Dez Bryant hasn’t been as good as advertised, and with Witten resting his bones (spleen) the pass is going to suffer. Redskins might have a good chance if RG3 and Fred Davis could connect, but then again, for other strong teams in the division, I do not think they will win the division. So all we have left is giants, I do not trust Manning, but he has made great throws at worst possible moments, and with a great defense in the tow, Giants might win the division.
NFC west is 9ers without the slightest doubt. Seattle just named Wilson as their starting QB, whatever happened to that fanfare of Matt Flynn becoming the savior, also with T.O down the pottyhole and Sidney Rice having surgeries on both shoulders this off season, the sole responsibility of carrying offense will be on Marshawn Lynch just like MJD did for Jags, now tell me when was the last time Jacksonville won the division? Rams will suffer, but not as much as they did last year, and the only team remaining is Arizona where QBs aren’t even competing.
NFC South will be Saints again, but with difficulty. I do not trust Atlanta, they do not have a strong defense against the juggernaut of Brees. But it will be interesting to watch Cam Newton and his team again, Carolina’s defense is decent, and offense isn’t bad either. Tampa Bay will try hard, but will not win the division.
So here is my take
Division winners:
Pats
Steelers
Texans
Chargers
Packers
9ers
Saints
Giants
Wild card
Lions
Falcons
Eagles
Ravens
