Super Bowl Predictions for 2012 NFL Season
Here are our collective picks for the division winners and Super Bowl Champions. Last year, in this very spot, we occasionally picked a few things right, but no one had the Giants surging to another title. Predictions of Packers versus Patriots looked good when they were #1 seeds entering the playoffs, but things went worse than a pair of Uggs after that. So, on with it. Your predictions go here. You laugh, and we go find what you said a year ago.

This Tim Ryan vs. Jacksonville thing is very odd. Why are people so pissed off? The article wasn’t offensive at all.

For the Eagles, it all comes back to the effectiveness of their defense and Mike Vick avoiding injury.
Unfortunately, I don’t see the Eagles coming up on the winning end of either of those factors.

Falcons are the new Braves. Waste a perfectly good play-off spot that other teams could have put to good use.

I’m not even that optimistic. We still have Juan Fucking Castillo as the DC. Oh and Fat Andy.

If Hall of Famer Russell Wilson is competent, I actually like the Seahawks to win the division over them. I could see two NFC West teams making the playoffs. NFC East / South looks like there will be plenty of 7-9, 8-8 slop.

Because the NFC West is by far the easiest division to predict, and picking a team that isn’t the 49ers makes you a moron. Especially since watching a rookie going against the Niners D will be high comedy.

5-1 in the division is likely. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them split with Seattle. They’ll handle Minn, NYJ, and Miami. That’s 8 wins right there. Surely they can find another 2-3 amongst the Packers, Lions, Bills, Giants, Bears, Saints, and Pats.

Thinking they reside in Green Bay again, Trammon Williams being back from the shoulder injury that helped turn him rotten last year is a boost and I’m assuming some of the new blood will get to the passer (Nick Perry looks strong, yet to be determined if he can really play though)…Sunday should be fun, when Rodgers sees 49er unis I imagine that sound from Kill Bill plays in his head
September 5th, 2012 at 4:34 PM
As you should be. Obviously would prefer my QB of the future to be a lil’ more spry, but I like the way the Browns have drafted the last couple years. I think the fruition of their efforts will be realized in a season or 2. Though I hope I’m wrong, cause fuck Cleveland.
/Goes back to disagreeing with everything Spencer says.

The Niners also play the Jets. Don’t forget that.

So if Weeden will be good next year that means Sammy Baugh is going to be fucking awesome immediately!
September 5th, 2012 at 4:38 PM
He has his coach to thank for that. Watching the Niners front 7 chase and eat Rodgers all day will be fun. I agree with you there.

Meant to say at least in the NFC there…an argument can be made for Houston overall assuming they don’t come to completely rue the day they gave Arian Foster money instead of Mario Williams
September 5th, 2012 at 4:41 PM
Judging by the Alex Smith scale of ripening quarterbacks Weeden will have his first respectable season when he turns 35.

What is this ESPN eliminator challenge? I thought we were all doing Rex’s Yahoo Survival league.

You shut your whore mouth. The last thing I need is someone saying something that may cause the stars to align and make Foster get injured.
/he’s on my fantasy team too.
September 5th, 2012 at 4:49 PM
I was a big doubter of Kapernick last year, but of what I have seen this year, he’s improved quite a bit. In another year, he should be ready to take over for Alex. 2 at the most.
So you are dead set on continuous regression? Got it.
Dude’s awful. Against #1 defenses, he’ll be an interception machine.
September 5th, 2012 at 4:52 PM
I loove the format of this post. Youse guys oughtta do more collaborative stuff like this at the start of each season in various sports.
Anyhoo, I am guardedly optimistic for the Chargers. I’ll always root for ‘em, but in case they scuffle, I need a bandwagon to jump on (except for the Broncos).
Any suggestions?
September 5th, 2012 at 4:55 PM
NFC: Panthers or Seahawks could be fun.
AFC: Steelers or Bills
September 5th, 2012 at 4:56 PM
Packer fans could use the diversity, currently I think the only minority fans are Lil’ Wayne and David Ortiz
September 5th, 2012 at 4:57 PM

I’m sure there’s plenty of seats and legroom available on the Browns bandwagon, if comfort is what you’re looking for.
September 5th, 2012 at 4:57 PM
I’ll be in attendance for that bloodbath. Sanchez will get sacked at least five times.
September 5th, 2012 at 4:59 PM
Is a Ginger QB something you’d be interested in?
September 5th, 2012 at 5:08 PM
Dang, youse guys are responsive. Lemme get back to ya – got turkey burgers on the George Foreman…

I wanna see lotsa pictures!!!
September 5th, 2012 at 5:10 PM
If they met in public, would they even understand each other? One’s got a mouth full of metal, and the other sounds like the Cookie Monster.
September 5th, 2012 at 5:11 PM
Wow, lot of hate getting thrown around in here already. Thought my “Gonna be tough for the Packers to make it far after Rodgers gets knocked out for the season” comment would be pretty fresh.
Squawkbox – Did you have substantial money on Boise State a couple years back? Or did Kaepernick smack into your car and not leave a note or something? The 2-3 times that kid’s name has been mentioned you’ve always left several “HE’S TRASH I GUARANTEE IT 100000%” comments.
I think after two years with Harbaugh he’ll be just fine. Has a cannon and athleticism that is not far away from Cam Newton’s. I suspect he’ll get put in for a few redzone packages this year, so we will be able to see how he does in a real game. Last preseason he looked terrible, this one he looked decent with obvious promise.
Oh – and anyone who didn’t put the Seahawks as undefeated Super Bowl champs is missing an important piece of information: THEY HAVE RUSSELL FUCKING WILSON!!! Such an incredible third round pick that it will make Joe Montana look like a horrible reach.
Not sure if this has been mentioned: is it just me or does TBL sort of Russell Wilson?
/ridiculously long comment
September 5th, 2012 at 5:12 PM
Interesting…I’ll probably go in that direction.
Was a Steelers’ fan in the 70s (loved me some Joe Gilliam).
September 5th, 2012 at 5:13 PM
Should say “Does TBL sort of look like Russell Wilson?” not “Does TBL sort of dress like Russell Wilson?” or “Does TBL sort of invest like Russell Wilson?”
September 5th, 2012 at 5:14 PM
Or did Kaepernick smack into your car and not leave a note or something?
If he didn’t leave a note, how would he have known who hit him?
/that guy’d
September 5th, 2012 at 5:15 PM
They won 10 games last year with Marshall Newhouse at LT, so long as the line doesn’t get hurt like it did last year I think he’ll be fine…plus his mobility helps compensate for protection breakdowns, all is well

September 5th, 2012 at 5:15 PM
I’m a Niners fan, but ignoring that Seahawks have i) talent, ii) improved their QB position, and iii) played the Niners very tough in both of their matchups last year is idiotic.
The Seahawks (it appears) have caught some of the scheduling breaks (i.e. NE at home, not the road). I don’t think it’s absurd to see them win 10+ games. I still think the Niners will make the playoffs, though.
September 5th, 2012 at 5:19 PM
Nope. You laughed at me enough last week with the CFB rotisserie draft…LOL.
September 5th, 2012 at 5:23 PM
