NFL Season Preview 2007-09-06 20:50:13 | By: Jake Lloyd 
To avoid ridicule (at least for now; wait until my picks prove to be
painfully wrong), I have decided to patch together a shaky NFL preview (one
of just 21,493 on the Internet) here at the last minute.
I won't bother you with analysis, either. No injury prospectus. No "surprise performer" harbingers. Nope, what follows are the predictions — and only the predictions. Maybe a crass comment thrown in here or there. Give me some feedback. Let me know how wrong I am. I won't take offense. NATIONAL FOOTBALL CONFERENCE NFC North 1, Chicago 12-4 2, Green Bay 8-8 3, Detroit 6-10 4, Minnesota 5-11 Crass comment: What an awful division. The Bears could take a month off and still win. NFC East 1, Philly 10-6 2, Dallas 10-6* 3, N.Y. Giants 6-10 4, Washington 6-10 Crass comment: Here's to hoping Donovan McNabb stays healthy, T.O. keeps his mouth shut and Tiki stops ripping on his old team (they've got it bad enough, Tiki!). NFC South 1, New Orleans 11-5 2, Carolina 9-7* 3, Tampa Bay 6-10 4, Atlanta 4-12 Crass comment: Hey, now that Sports Illustrated has finally not picked the Panthers to win the Super Bowl, maybe they'll make the playoffs. NFC West 1, St. Louis 10-6 2, Seattle 9-7 3, San Francisco 8-8 4, Arizona 7-9 Crass comment: I'll be honest. I flipped coins to pick this winner. Who really knows? Whichever team's top running back stays healthy will win. *=wild card team AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE AFC East 1, New England 12-4 2, N.Y. Jets 10-6 3, Buffalo 7-9 4, Miami 5-11 Crass comment: I'll run around the neighborhood naked if Trent Green AFC North 1, Baltimore 11-5 2, Cincinnati 10-6* 3, Pittsburgh 8-8 4, Cleveland 5-11 Crass comment: Poor Brady Quinn. He'll probably get thrown into the game against Baltimore and receive a friendly greeting from Ray Lewis. Ouch! AFC South 1, Indianapolis 12-4 2, Tennessee 9-7 3, Jacksonville 7-9 4, Houston 5-11 Crass comment: I love how people keep doubting Vince Young. Keep it up, guys. He'll just continue to prove you all wrong. AFC West 1, San Diego 11-5 2, Denver 10-6* 3, Kansas City 6-10 4, Oakland 4-12 Crass comment: Can you believe Larry Johnson mentioned the words "Super Bowl" after signing that new contract? Um, it's a team game, L.J. *=wild card teams PLAYOFFS NATIONAL FOOTBALL CONFERENCE Wild Card Round Philly def. Carolina St. Louis def. Dallas Divisional Round Chicago def. St. Louis Philly def.
