Miami Dolphins (8.5 wins)
RT: The AFC East is loaded and one team has to go .500. Henne truly hasn't proven himself in my opinion. Biggest thing they have is still the wildcat. Marshall will help but with Ginn and Camarillo gone, who else is there to cover? OVER.
AC: There’s nothing I hate more than betting on my own teams. Having said that if they don’t win at least 9 games, I’ll be supremely disappointed. Well, now that I’ve doomed them for the next 4 months….OVER.
Minnesota Vikings (9.5 wins)
RT: Like I said, Favre doesn't have a wideout. AP will see 7/8 in the box. The offense struggles and the D crumbles. And Brett slowly fades off into the sunset, ya right. UNDER.
AC: I could see this getting ugly in a hurry in Minnesota. Tough schedule to start the year, and if Favre starts poorly, the roof could cave in. UNDER.
New England Patriots (9.5 wins)
RT: Every year someone questions this team, and every year they produce. Weird how that works. Belichick still coaches the hell of out football and if any of the RB's step up, this team will make noise. OVER.
AC:I have no clue about this team. But I do know that I’m worried about their defense, especially their corners with the loss of Bodden. But there’s still Brady, Moss, Welker, and that Belichick guy. I’m not in love with them at all, but it’s tough to still not see them winning 10. OVER.
New Orleans Saints (10.5 wins)
RT: NFC. Same offense. D might struggle but who cares when you can score 45 on everyone. OVER.
AC:Super Bowl hangover? Doubtful. Easy OVER.
New York Giants (8.5 wins)
RT:Plax still in jail and Eli doesn't know where he is half the time. Not an impressive team and Coughlin gets the boot at the end of the year. UNDER.
AC:Their defense got worse as the season went on last year. I’m banking on them being improved, but there’s still big question marks there. In a division where I expect all four teams to be between 8 and 10 wins, I’ll go with the odds. OVER.
New York Jets (9.5 wins)
RT: Rex Ryan is huge. OVER.
AC:Maybe it’s my utter disdain for them, their head coach, and their entire fan base, but I’m not on the bandwagon. Unlike last year, they’ll have a big target on their back, and Revis will have an even bigger one. UNDER
Oakland Raiders (6 wins)
RT: Anyone else realize that Jason Campbell isn't a huge upgrade at all? Maybe not even an upgrade. Oh wait, is Al Davis still alive??? UNDER.
AC:Good sleeper playoff team. I’m not sure they’ll get that far, but they played well against good teams last year, plus they got rid of their fat quarterback. So that’s a plus. OVER.
Philadelphia Eagles (8.5 wins)
RT: The real question is what running back is going to step up. Kolb or Vick will be fine as the QB, but will a running game emerge or will Andy Dandy Reid throw everywhere? OVER.
AC: I’m driving the Kevin Kolb fan bus. He’ll make everyone in Philly forget about McNabb if they haven’t already. Plus, I’ve already said I think everyone in this division wins between 8 and 10 games. So again, I’ll play the odds. OVER.
Pittsburgh Steelers (8.5 wins)
RT: This defense is real good with Polamula. Without it, big trouble. Mendenhall is just good and there is enough veteran leadership to push this team forward.
AC:Everyone’s focused on Ben being out 4 games, and how that will affect this teams chances. I don’t care that much. This team’s still about defense. Polamalu being out for much of last year killed them, so if he stays healthy, I’d be shocked if they don’t get to at least 9. OVER.
San Diego Chargers (10.5 wins)
RT: It's the AFC West and the Chargers are always above everyone. Matthews is a stud waiting to happen. Watch out. My super bowl sleeper. OVER.
RT: It's the AFC West and the Chargers are always above everyone. Matthews is a stud waiting to happen. Watch out. My super bowl sleeper. OVER.
AC: Big number here, but when you realize that this is based on the regular season and not the playoffs, it’s really not that bad. OVER.
San Francisco 49ers (8.5 wins)
RT: Can not win with em. Can not coach with em. But you can win with em. Singletary rises above it this year. OVER.
AC:I’m not in love with this team like seemingly everyone else. However, I’ll tell you what I do love about them—their division. OVER.
Seattle Seahawks (7.5 wins)
RT: Petey is back in town. First thing he does: Cut the guy he signed at the beginning of the summer camp. Second thing: Cuts his pro-bowl wide out. UNDER.
AC:I’m going to take the wait and see approach with Pete Carroll this time around in the league. Until then, UNDER.
St. Louis Rams (5 wins)
RT: I don't know and I don't care. NFC West helps and I've never been a fan of the 1st overall pick coming off an injury. Thank their schedule. OVER.

AC:I like Bradford, but he’s going to take a beating. They’ll be improved, but that’s not saying much. UNDER.
Tampa Bay Bucs (5.5 wins)
RT: Another don't know/ don't care. Except the fact I'm gonna have to watch this crap for the year. UNDER.
AC:They’re going to play tough and surprise some teams, and I’m a Josh Freeman believer. OVER.
Tennessee Titans (8.5 wins)
RT:Might get Haynesworth which helps anyone no matter how big of an ass he is, yet Jeff Fisher still shows he's a genius. This team will surprise this division. 9-7 is the only record I see for this team. OVER.
AC:Telling year for Vince Young. We know what Chris Johnson brings to the table, but the verdicts still out on VY. Plus, I can’t name anyone on their defense anymore. UNDER.
Washington Redskins (7.5 wins)
RT: No, just no really. I don't see it. I like Shanny, but give it a year. McNabb only has cooley and I don't think the O-Line can make big enough holes for Booty-do. UNDER.
AC:Solid upgrade at quarterback. Huge upgrade at head coach. Everyone in this division will be pretty evenly matched. OVER.
AC:Solid upgrade at quarterback. Huge upgrade at head coach. Everyone in this division will be pretty evenly matched. OVER.
Well folks, it's late, but the world goes on. This did not into consideration of week 1. I will say I was wrong about the Vikes/Saints, that was a snoozefest. Good luck to your fantasy teams, dawgfights are a coming.
Til next time, play it back to play it forward.
