All Our NFL Predictions In One Post
These are the official staff predictions of the Big Lead Sports staff. This way, it will be easier for everyone to point out how little we know as the season progresses. Feel free to add your own in the comments.
Jason McIntyre, Editor, Creator, Father
MVP: Adrian Peterson. He’ll rush for over 2,000 yards.
The Andrew Luck Trophy: Miami Dolphins. Sticking with my pick from months ago.
AFC East: Patriots (12-4)
AFC North: Steelers (12-4)
AFC South: Texans (9-7)
AFC West: Chargers (11-5)
AFC Wild Cards: Jets (10-6), Ravens 9-7)
AFC Championship: Chargers over the Steelers
NFC East: Eagles (11-5)
NFC North: Packers (11-5)
NFC South: Saints (12-4)
NFC West: 49ers (7-9)
NFC Wild Cards: Cowboys (10-6), Falcons 10-6)
NFC Championship: Saints over the Eagles
Super Bowl: Saints over Chargers
***
Jason Lisk, Fantasy Lingerie Football Guru
MVP: Aaron Rodgers, unless he still can’t win close games.
The Andrew Luck Trophy: Really tempted to go Cincinnati here because I don’t think Andy Dalton is ready to be starting. Their defense should be competent enough to get them a few wins. I’ll go Seattle. Jackson and Whitehurst is a trainwreck, and Luck inherits a good situation with a (hopefully healthy) left tackle in Okung and established weapons in Rice and Miller in 2012.
AFC East: New England Patriots (12-4)
AFC North: Pittsburgh Steelers (11-5)
AFC South: Houston Texans (9-7)
AFC West: San Diego Chargers (12-4)
AFC Wild Cards: Miami (9-7) wins a wildcard spot by beating the Jets 9-6 on January 1st to take the tiebreaker. The New York Jets get into the final spot by winning a 3 way tiebreaker over the late surging Colts and the Cleveland Browns, who were able to beat a resting Pittsburgh in week 17.
AFC Championship: New England over San Diego
NFC East: Philadelphia Eagles (11-5)
NFC North: Green Bay Packers (12-4)
NFC South: New Orleans Saints (12-4)
NFC West: Arizona Cardinals (8-8)
NFC Wild Cards: Detroit Lions (10-6), setting up a traditional Lions vs. Cardinals playoff battle, while Dallas (9-7) gets the final wildcard spot in a tiebreaker over the Atlanta Falcons.
NFC Championship: Green Bay over New Orleans
Super Bowl: Green Bay over New England
***
Tyler Duffy, Married Man (Almost)
MVP: Aaron Rodgers. ESPN the Magazine will wonder what the world would be like if he was black.
The Andrew Luck Trophy: Redskins. Would explain bringing Rexy back.
AFC East: Pats
AFC North: Steelers
AFC South: Texans (is this the year? finally?)
AFC West: Chargers
AFC Wild Cards: Jets, Browns
AFC Championship: Patriots over Steelers
NFC East: Iggles
NFC North: Packers
NFC South: Saints
NFC West: Irrelevant…Cardinals
NFC Wild Cards: Lions, Falcons
NFC Championship: Packers over Eagles
Super Bowl: Patriots over Packers
***
Tim “Hernia” Ryan, Hair Enthusiast
MVP: Drew Brees, 48 TDs, 8 INTs
The Andrew Luck Trophy: It’s very difficult not to have the Bengals carrying home the title of inadequacy, but that would mean something positive would be happening to the organization, and that simply doesn’t happen. I’m going outside the predictable and will say Tennessee ends up with the worst record. Chris Johnson is destined to get banged up and Jake Locker and an aging Matt Hasselbeck sure as hell aren’t going to get it done.
AFC East: Patriots
AFC North: Ravens
AFC South: Colts
AFC West: Chargers
AFC Wild Cards: Steelers, Jets
AFC Championship: Pats, Ravens
NFC East: Giants
NFC North: Packers
NFC South: Saints
NFC West: Rams
NFC Wild Cards: Eagles, Lions
NFC Championship: Packers, Saints
Super Bowl: Saints over Patriots
***
Stephen Douglas, Sports Semi-Enthusiast
MVP: Adrian Peterson
The Andrew Luck Trophy: Carolina will be openly trying to win this trophy.
AFC East: Jets (15-1, but it won’t be Sanchez’s fault)
AFC North: Ravens (12-4)
AFC South: Texans (10-6)
AFC West: Chargers (13-3)
AFC Wild Cards: Steelers (12-4) Patriots (11-5)
AFC Championship: Chargers vs. Patriots
NFC East: Cowboys (12-4)
NFC North: Packers (13-3)
NFC South: Falcons (12-4)
NFC West: Rams (8-8)
NFC Wild Cards: Saints (10-6), Eagles 11-5)
NFC Championship: Saints vs. Packers
Super Bowl: Packers over Chargers

Good ol’ TBL.
This made me laugh.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:08 PM
If AP wins MVP, it means the Vikings passing game is decent, which means they will win enough games to make playoffs.
I really hope the Luck trophy goes to someone aside from Cinci, because Luck seems like a bright kid and I would hate for him to have to go there.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:10 PM
Oh, I say saints over patriots for super bowl. Also predict falcons secondary will cause me to destroy my tv at some point.

I really hope the Luck trophy goes to someone aside from Cinci, because Luck seems like a bright kid and I would hate for him to have to go there.
It a shame that Cinci built that new stadium.. would have liked for Cinci to have moved to LA. Nobody seems to care there. Then again, if I had an owner like that, I probably wouldn’t care either.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:11 PM
I was wondering what Janoff’s picks were going to be. Must still be calculating the ad revenue for which teams to pick.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:11 PM
if texans go 9-8, then they must have made the playoffs
September 7th, 2011 at 4:11 PM
I think Luck does have another year of eligibility left so he could always go back if a team he doesn’t want to play for is drafting #1. However, he could pull an Eli as well.

I think the Saints are legit enough to win the division, but I don’t understand the love for the Falcons.

There is very good chance that the #1 pick will go to a team that spent a top pick on a QB this year. Maybe Cincy and SF would still go Luck, but Jax, Carolina, Tennessee or Vikings would not.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:20 PM
Just say 31-25 again.

September 7th, 2011 at 4:22 PM
Redskins will win the Andrew Luck sweepstakes and will consider swapping the pick to whatever team is trying to unload the most washed up over-payed veterans. People will argue the pick should be Kellen Moore.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:22 PM
I hate the fact that song was ever made.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:23 PM
“Knuckle children” is stupid. You don’t use your knuckles to jerk off unless you’re into S&M.
It’s just one of those things that doesn’t make sense but it just makes sense saying so. It’s science, and since you are a girl we don’t expect you to understand.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:23 PM
I’m with you, Jay V… though if it is Jax, it’ll be even more likely Luck drops. I just have seen too many ‘disappointing’ senior seasons get over-critiqued and fall the next year… Remember #1 overall pick Matt Leinart?
/okay bad example
September 7th, 2011 at 4:24 PM
There is very good chance that the #1 pick will go to a team that spent a top pick on a QB this year. Maybe Cincy and SF would still go Luck, but Jax, Carolina, Tennessee or Vikings would not.
The rookie wage scale makes it more likely that a team could take Luck and then just trade the other, so I wouldn’t rule that out. You’re right about how teams might think, but I would hope a franchise believes in the concept of sunk costs. If Luck plays like I suspect, he’s going to be the best QB prospect of the last decade.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:24 PM
What if Peyton is out all year? Colts could be surprise contestants for the Luck trophy in that scenario.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:24 PM
A seven point margin still means that Rodgers can’t win a close game. Gotta keep true to the story.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:24 PM
“Knuckle children” is stupid. You don’t use your knuckles to jerk off unless you’re into S&M.

Iggles won’t make the playoffs.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:26 PM
I fully expect TBL to take Sanchez as his fantasy QB in our draft tonight.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:27 PM
well if you are jerking off and go to cover the load some will certainly seep on to your knuckles. These are the knuckle children of which we speak.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:27 PM
The lack of Ravens love is surprising.
Or not, I’m a huge homer, and even I have no clue what to expect.
40% picked to win division, 60% to make playoffs, 20% to champ game. Guessing you won’t get those odds in Vegas.

September 7th, 2011 at 4:30 PM

September 7th, 2011 at 4:30 PM
They’ll lose a meaningless corporate exhibition NIGHT game before going on to the real playoffs.

September 7th, 2011 at 4:30 PM
I mean, I’m obviously drinking the Purple Drank in heavy doses, but I think we’re better offensively, especially if Cam Cameron has a heart attack by like Week 3. I hate Cameron so much.
But if Jimmy Smith sucks, which is entirely possible, we’re fucked, no matter how amazing Ed is.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:31 PM
I heard Jersey had him last year, so I could see TBL wanting to steal him this time around.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:31 PM
They’ll win 9 games even with their shitty offensive line and paper mache linebacking corps.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:32 PM
I fully expect TBL to take Sanchez as his fantasy QB in our draft tonight.
Speaking of, I read on a message board about some crazy league where you could only draft players who were further West (by city longitude) or on same team as player previously drafted.
Someone took Sanchez at the end of the first round.
I would have still gone Adrian Peterson or Arian Foster.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:32 PM
Between the Peyton Manning injury, the Jags cutting their starter days before the opener and entrusting the offense to a McCown brother, and the dumpster fire that is Tennessee, this HAS to be the Texan’s year, right?

Week 17. Colts vs. Jags.

The Raven Oline is suspect at best. Between Birk’s knee and big fat mckinnie on the left side, Flacco won’t even have a chance to check it down to Rice.

Eh, the line worries me a lot less with Oher back at RT, McKinnie just has to be passable and that’s an improvement from last season.

That’s why we invited him.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:36 PM
I have a feeling I’m going to be drinking a lot more this season. Sure, let’s improve our corners but not improve our LBs or draft a f’n firefigher over Carmini.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:36 PM
I did want Flacco’s head on a stick at the end of last season, not as much as Cam Cameron’s head, but a good amount. I’ve cooled on it since.

Well yeah, it’s what our team is built on.
I heard that Big Ben’s passing #’s are expected to plummet because he will be uncomfortable in the pocket, not because his O-line sucks but because his fat face will not fit inside his new DNA helmet…

I have a feeling I’m going to be drinking a lot more this season. Sure, let’s improve our corners but not improve our LBs or draft a f’n firefigher over Carmini.

Oh, and Luck is going to the Seachickens and the MVP of the league will be Jay Cutler.

Had to go out on a limb somewhere. NFL is always so unpredictable. Plus, chalk is boring.

My son’s flag football team is the Steelers. You thought I was talking about Big Ben? Coach did say he was the starting QB for game 1, which is cool, but I’m trying to get myself mentally prepared for a 25% completion percentage with half of those being drops.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:51 PM
Let’s wait and see how it goes, Cleet. Maybe Jacory’s learned some things

Until Glazer says he is out, he is not out.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:52 PM
I really don’t get Golden doing this.
Most Miami fans were pretty cool Monday night, but if that fatass sitting in front of us put his hand up and did ‘The U’ one more time I was going to murder him.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:52 PM
I like the Saints/Chargers pick, but I’m biased.
However, I am still very concerned that the Saints can’t stop the run. Ben Tate and Taiwan Jones were pulling Marshawn Lynches on them in the preseason. You can say preseason doesn’t count for shit, but it doesn’t look like they tackle any better than they did in the playoffs.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:53 PM
That’s a big maybe, but I sure hope so
September 7th, 2011 at 4:53 PM
Nah. Still a decent team. If the Titans can win 6 games with Kerry Collins, the Colts can win more than that. They’ve actually got offensive weapons that stay out of the clink and show up to training camp on time.

September 7th, 2011 at 4:54 PM
Lets say that they wind up with the number one pick. As the Colts do you just draft Luck and not even blink. Maybe trade Peyton? Or do you auction that pick off to some poor team with the 2-10 picks and make one last push for a title with Peyton?
September 7th, 2011 at 4:54 PM
and by Lgass I meant Jacory sucks….

Two layers there– he may have had another procedure. I could see that happening and the Colts not saying anything about it yet. The length of time on that could be entirely speculative, other than not in the next few weeks.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:54 PM

I know you didn’t type that with a straight face.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:55 PM
YYSA – If I were in that situation, I’d absolutely take Luck. Maybe give him a year to groom behind Peyton, and then trade/cut Peyton after that. It would end up being another Favre/Rodgers scenario
September 7th, 2011 at 4:56 PM
I would think drafting Luck is a no-brainer. Who better to teach your future star than Peyton? And with the new rookie contracts, it’s not like you’d have to dump $50 mill guaranteed to him.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:57 PM
Cut/trade Manning? I think you guys mean promote him to Head Coach.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:58 PM
Pretty much what I was thinking. You can secure your future at the most important position for another decade plus, you do it, even if it means Luck sits for 3 years.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:59 PM
I could see Peyton playing another 3-5 years barring injury
September 7th, 2011 at 4:59 PM
Yea I guess so. Would be a much more gut wrenching thing to have to cut/trade Peyton than Favre.
September 7th, 2011 at 4:59 PM
I’m trying not to worry about it. Jacory’s been terrible but Morris is a turnover machine in his own right. They need to limit the throws to about 20/game anyway.
September 7th, 2011 at 5:00 PM
Seems like a lateral move at this point for Manning.
September 7th, 2011 at 5:00 PM
I wonder if Bill Polian knew all along that Peyton wouldn’t play this year. Then he called Luck and told him not to enter the draft. Maybe he knew it 2 years ago and that’s why he hired that lame duck coach… knowing they’d finish at the bottom without Manning! THAT MAGNIFICENT GENIUS!
September 7th, 2011 at 5:00 PM
Yea I guess so. Would be a much more gut wrenching thing to have to cut/trade Peyton than Favre.

I think he means that Peyton hasn’t been dicking over the organization’s plan for the future for the last 3 or 4 years like Favre had.
September 7th, 2011 at 5:01 PM
Yeah but I think peyton has 4-5 more years left in him. Is that a good investment?
September 7th, 2011 at 5:05 PM

September 7th, 2011 at 5:06 PM
He was out for a lot of it, but Shaun Rogers/Sedrick Ellis was not impressive. Yet.
September 7th, 2011 at 5:08 PM
exactly. Greenbay will always have Lambeau field and Lombardi. Brett Favre was nice but it hardly was the identity of Greenbay as a whole. Indiana? shit. They got reggie miller and Peyton.
