2011 NFL Fearless Predictions

First of all, here's a sneak peak at the final standings:

AFC East
Patriots
Jets
Dolphins
Bills

AFC North
Ravens
Browns
Steelers
Bengals

AFC South
Texans
Colts
Jaguars
Titans

AFC West
Chargers
Raiders
Chiefs
Broncos

NFC East
Eagles
Cowboys
Redskins
Giants

NFC North
Packers
Lions
Vikings
Bears

NFC South
Falcons
Saints
Buccaneers
Panthers

NFC West
Seahawks
Rams
Cardinals
49'ers

Eagles over Patriots in the Superbowl

Other fearless predictions:

Besides Peyton Manning, another top tier quarterback will miss much of the season due to injury.

Of the teams that are expected to be improved (Lions, Rams, Buccaneers), one will fall flat and finish last.

Of the teams that are expected to be elite (Patriots, Steelers, Chargers, Eagles, Packers, Saints, Falcons), one will greatly disappoint and struggle most of the season.

There will be one team that will come out of nowhere and do extremely well, defying all the odds with players experts thought to be inferior.

One and only one rookie quarterback will have a successful season.

Scoring will be down this year.  The new kickoff rule and the short preseason will be the reason.

There will be a renewed emphasis of the running game for many teams in the middle of the season as many complex passing schemes fail.

At the end of the season, I'll go over these and see how I did.
