Wow - you do some thinkin'.  How ya do it:)

 

Pats 1st seed? Ok- no argument

[PrincetonTiger]

Not bad

[Bluefire4]

I'd be sad if we lost to the Pats in the playoffs again.. but I like the 49ers super bowl pick.. I feel if they can win through Aldon Smith's suspension and Navorro Bowman's injury, they can come on strong to end the season and through the postseason. I also have the 49ers winnning the super bowl against the Colts.

[bestQBever]

I actually dont think the niners make the postseason this year. I'm gonna stick to my prediction from OTA's, Colts beat Saints in superbowl.

[ColtsBTM12]

I honestly cannot argue with anything in your prediction, well done.

"Super Bowl XLIX: #5 San Francisco 49ers vs #1 New England Patriots" 

 

Pats I can see, but the 49ers? No, there's no way that's happening this year. CK can't throw TDs right now & I wanna see someone besides cry baby Jim Harbaugh complaining on the sidelines over legit calls. 

 

Realistically, let's go with: Chargers vs Seahawks. Ideally, I like to see Colts vs Patriots TBH with you in the AFC Championship Game.

 

Dream SB scenario: Colts vs Seahawks & INDY knocks off the reigning Champs. If we can beat the Hawks in the regular season, I think we can handle them when it counts the most. 

[IcEWoLF]

The 49ers team is somewhat weak this year, 1st injuries, 2nd suspensions, 3rd their QB not being consistent at times.

[southwest1]

Tampa Bay Bucs should be ranked higher in the NFC South with HC Lovie Smith at the helm.

 

Why are you giving credit to Pittsburgh over San Diego in the Wildcard round? I don't see the Steelers making the Playoffs period. You're giving Andy Dalton's team 20 points? Really? 

 

MVP: Drew Brees vs Peyton Manning...Bold, fresh, & something new...I like it. 18 can't be expected to win it every year or nearly every year. I agree with that. If he wins again, they need to rename the award IMO.

 

The Redskins go 5-11 in their division with a better record in Dallas with an abysmal defense? Michael Sam isn't that damn good. 

 

Nice preparation on your predictions though Andy. Very Impressive!

Exactly IWF, both AZ & Seattle are more potent & dangerous that CK & the Niners currently are at the moment. 

[Jules]

I got Saints and Patriots in the SB all offseason, can't change now. 

[Synthetic]

I appreciate how nice you are being to the Saints here, and picking Brees for the MVP. It's a dream though I don't I'll ever see it as reality.

I never thought AP would win MVP Bogie so you do have an outside shot & precedent to pull a Brees upset. I value rings more anyway so whatever happens this year Drew has nothing to be bummed about. 

 

Brees is a great QB & I will admit that knowing that the Saints aren't my favorite NFL squad. I just wanna know 1 thing: Is that scar on Drew's face a birthmark & why doesn't he remove it by laser? Do it hold special significance & if so what? 

 

Naturally, it's his face & Drew can do whatever he wants of course.

Brees has been cheated out of 2 MVP's. The 2009 one (which I would even argue should have went to Favre) and the 2011 one that went to Rodgers who laid down at home in the playoffs. I won't be shocked if he loses a 3rd MVP to another golden boy that he out plays in the postseason.

 

That's a birthmark on Brees face, guess he don't like to tamper with his looks.

The MVP is a regular season award.

[King Colt]

Like any QB he will be as productive as his front line allows.

[chad72]

Here are my thoughts:

 

1. Bengals will win their first playoff game, will be in the wild card round as a home team
2. It will be Seahawks vs Saints in the NFCCG, not the 49ers vs Saints
3. I agree with the AFC pick with Brady going to his 6th SB and us hearing for 2 weeks how great he is leading to the SB
4. Seahawks beat the Patriots in the SB to repeat and Patriots fans come back to gloat how Brady and the Patriots lose by just 10 points and did not get blown out like Peyton and the Broncos though they lost the SB as well

Just saying. ;)
