    Buffalo? Wtf? You know it's not 1991, right?

    Cleveland not being in 4th in the North just doesn't seem realistic either but that is years of conditioning, facts and bias speaking.

    Always gotta take a shot at someone in the NFL as usually someone comes out of nowhere. I'm not jumping on the Jacksonville bandwagon like everyone else. I think Buffalo has a lot of promise.

    Pick four teams that should not make it to the AFC/NFC Championship game.
    Hopes that one miraculously makes it to Super Bowl, not caring about the fate of the other three.
    Thinks this will make him look like a genius.
    Needs to think again.

    again with your complete lack of critical thought.

    I dont care who the Vikings and Colts go up against,theyll still win their games. But I doubt I'll be wrong about the majority of teams that make the playoffs.

    dont have chance? lol youll try to say I was lucky when its over.
    let see yours, you talking on the sidelines fool. Oh,thats right,you dont have the balls to do it. Or, like a child,youll make some random picks thinking that you're mimicking what I'm doing.
    Nope, I picked those teams for specific reasons. My 12 that make the playoffs will be closer to what happens than anyone else's here.

    miracles? you believe every miracle, every week in sports without questioning anything. When someone speaks truth to you you turn your head sideways like a confused puppy,
    after years of Pavlovian bullpucky.

    I don't like keep the Buffalo pick either. They have quite a few injuries and I'm not sold on Rex Ryan there. He wrecked that defence in moving away from the 3-4 and Shady McCoy doesn't have much left imo. I think a more interesting team may be the Bucs. I think they won't finish last. I think Jax is not going to be as cool a pick come December. Bortles is getting too much love at the moment.

    I'd love to say Miami will make the playoffs but that's really a stretch. I think the offence should be decent but the defence has too many question marks. Even on offence a guy like WR Parker is needed but can't stay healthy. He's immature at this point and not professional. They just found out he didn't normally eat breakfast and wasn't drinking enough. He needs to be smarter to avoid hamstring pulls and nagging things.

    Why is it that the Giants grab two corners and like two defensive lineman in Free Agency and the draft and, all of a sudden, a team that couldn't defend a high school offense is going to be the winner of the NFC East? People need to stop drinking the blue koolaid.

    Redskins will win the NFC East. Dallas is screwed (Prescott is talented, but that was preseason - when the season starts, it'll be loss after loss again just like every other backup after Romo goes down). Philly will be the bottom of the conference. Dallas and the Giants will fight over second and the Skins will go 10-6.

    Mors, what if Cousins isn't that good? I think Eli is the best qb in the division when Romo is hurt. I think the Giants should do well.

    Smooth, you could have at least put Miami in first place in your dumb pick segment!

    Yeah, I was strongly debating that. Hell, I may go back and change it.

    Cousins is that good. You don't put up the best 9 weeks of football as a QB in the league off of luck. Cousins is the real deal. The Redskins are still probably another two years away from being real contenders (gotta shore up the offensive and defensive line more), but Cousins is the man at QB.

    Eli may be the more proven QB, but that team still can't defend a high school team until I see otherwise. They had the second worst defenses EVER. You don't just rebound from that with a 2-3 free agent signings and drafting 1-2 dudes for that side of the ball. They allowed 420.3 ypg (6725 yards on the season). That puts them at second most yards allowed on defense EVER behind that atrocious New Orleans defense in 2012 that allowed a NFL record 7042 yards. You simply don't just bounce back so quickly from a defense that plays that poorly. Will it be better? Sure. But there's no way they win the division with that shit of a defense.

    I think Cousins is ok but if you dig into his numbers he wasn't all that (example would be the one Rudy posted about most yards from passes within 2 yards of the LOS). Also, Washington had 0 wins against winning teams last year. They were the best of a bad division and they might be again.

    Yup. Cousins stats were incredibly inflated due to simple throws less than two yards downfield that his recievers turned into massive production. That doesn't mean he is bad at all. But I need to see him do it again. Redskins were smart to franchise him and keep it to one year.
