Short version. I"m currently slacking at work and looking to kill a little time--though I have put a lot of thought into this. I'll have to check back in late-December and see how I did.

My predictons for the 2006 NFL Season for the AFC

AFC East
New England (11-5): Like the Atlanta Braves, they are going to be winning this division for a while, as long as Brady is the QB and Bellicheck the coach. Team lost some good players, but with Brady and that stud DL they still have more than enough to win division.

Miami (10-6): I'd have them winning the division if not for a suspect secondary. This team is one year away from being a Super Bowl team.

Buffalo (4-12): Could be the best 4-12 team in history, but their lack of experience, 20 new players, a new system on both sides of the ball and new coaching staff on the roster results in numerous close loses. Fans should judge this team based on the maturity of Losman and some of the young defenders rather than Wins and losses.

New York Jets (3-13): This team just sucks across the board, though Brick and Mangold are brilliant pieces for a future DEADLY OL.

AFC North
Cincinnati: (12-4) As long as Palmer stays healthy, with an improved defense this team is the class of the AFC.

Baltimore (10-6): McNair is your comeback player of the year. Reed and Lewis are healthy again on defense.

Pittsburgh (7-9): Just a gut feeling.

Cleveland (6-10) Still a year away from being any good. Frye must continue to develop.

AFC South
Indianapolis (11-5): Got a feeling Manning is going to have a ridiculous monster year.

Jacksonville (9-7) Just not a Byron Leftwich fan, and I hate their receievers.. Love their DT's though.

Houston (8-8): Pushovers no more, this is one of the better up-and-coming teams in the league.

Tennessee (5-11) Not one of the better up-and-coming teams in the league.

AFC West
Kansas City (11-5) Larry Johnson = NFL MVP, Improved defense = division title.

San Diego (9-7): Phillip Rivers better than expected, WR's are not.

Denver (9-7): Lack of a running game (for once in Denver history) will hurt them.

Oakland (6-10): Can't put any stock into a team led by Aaron Brooks. However, they have potential to be this year's AFC's Chicago Bears.

WILD CARDS: Miami and Baltimore
AFC Championship: Cincinnati over New England.

ok, now I can see it.

Re: MY AFC Predictions

I love it how the Bills are the best 4-12 team ever and the Jets at 3-13 just plain suck. lol.

Thats like calling a cow, a duck to its face. I LOVE IT!

Re: MY AFC Predictions

It's way too early to tell, but I just don't see the Pats as AFC Championship contenders.

I like the "Pittsburg 7-9 Just my gut feeling"

If your gonna put someone else's direct sentence in a quote, spell it right.. I spelled Pittsburgh properly, thanks.

Big Ben is ailing, Betis is a huge loss in the locker room, I dont like their WR's outside of Ward, they lost a good safety in Hope--and I think they're going to struggle. Is that really going out on a limb that much?

How so?

Buffalo has a lot of YOUNG talent that I think just needs time to gel and some more seasoning. A team like that can easily got 4-12 and still be considered on the upside.

The Jets on the other hand not only suck, but they have far too many veterans who don't have upside, unlike the Bills. For that reason mainly, I call them a SUCKY 3-13 team, while Buffalo is a totally DIFFERENT 4-12 team.

Thank you sooo much for correcting my spelling. Thank god you caught that!

By the way, you spelled Bettis wrong. If you're going to post about someone, spell it right. I spelled Bettis properly.

And yes, it is a ******ed prediction.

Re: MY AFC Predictions

Good god I hate to admit it, but I think you're pretty well on except for a few things. Pittsburgh will struggle a bit, but have a better record than that. Houston will improve, but not quite that much either, more like 6-10 in my eyes.

If Carson Palmer can stay healthy, I really do think Cinncy will be on top of the conference at the end of the year too.

Now, how about the much, much more difficult to predict NFC?

How about I say the "bus" and we're even..

Look, defending champs or not, I dont have to like Pittsburgh. They have holes from FA losses, I hated their draft with a passion; and Big Ben is suddenly a huge question mark at QB. They play Baltimore and Cinci four times and I like both of those teams more.

And for the record, they are called "Predictions." If you're so brilliant, why dont you throw down some of your own instead of bashing, and we'll save this thread and re-visit it at the end of the year.

True. Very True but a it can also be reverse as teams usually win with vets and lose with young talent. Theres no telling whats going to happen.

I just liked how we are the best 4-12 team and the jets suck at 3-13. Thats really only 1 win. lol. Vs. the JETS Im guessing. Any way you see it, 4-12 still sucks. 8-8 would be good.

Re: MY AFC Predictions

I cut and paste from my email at work and it shows up like that for some reason.. I do it so I'm on the "internet" less at work.

and INE...
The Jets have lots of vets.. problem is most of them blow. I'd much rather be Buffalo than New York right now, even if we only win one more game this year.........The jets got NOTHING but Vilma and a pair of stud rookie OL
