It's right around the corner, I wrote up a little piece with some predictions on a few teams. I figure there has got to be a few people on here that wouldn't mind talking some football. Let me know what you guys think, and if you have any predictions.
Miami
Culpepper has a chance to do it big this season.. he is being put in a much better situation in miami.. chris chambers at WR is one of the most under rated receivers in the game talent wise, now he has a great QB throwing to him. Factor in McMicheal and Ronnie brown and you have several huge playmakers for Culpepper to choose from. He had
of that in Minisota. Miami has a solid defense as well.. they closed out last season in solid form with a great new coaching staff led by Nick Saban. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see 30 TD's from Culpepper this year if he can stay healthy and recover from his surgury. Most will agree 20 TD's is very probable. He could be a great late round pick in a fantasy sports draft. Chris Chambers, Randy McMicheal, and Ronnie Brown now have an even bigger upside with Culpepper at QB. The addition of athleat marcus vick is also another interesting sage to follow, they have him lining up a wide out and apparently he is doing well. Miami will be the team to Beat in the AFC east.
Dallas
Like her or not, T.O. has the ability to take a team to the next level of play. Adding T.O. into the mix takes a ton of pressure of of Jason Whitten and Terry Glen, this will open up many more oportunities for Bledsoe this year. Then factor in the multi player rushing attack led by Julius Jones and Marion Barber and you have an explosive offense and a great coach to boot. With the new upgrades on defense Dallas is looking strong in a strong division. players will need to step up if they want a shot at a division title. The NFC east is by far the strongest division on paper going into the season.
Washington
Boasting a reciever core that is top of the line, Washington is primed at a superbowl run. With upgrades on both sides of the field they are my favorites for NFC champs and some new jewlery. I mean come on, Santana Moss, Brandon Lloyd, Randel-El? That is a sick line up for any defense. Then you've got an additional problem in Chris Cooley and Clinton Portis. I don't know how Brunell is pulling it off, but he's doing what needs to be done. On paper Washington is among the strongest in the NFL, if they can stay healthy, and pull a repeat of last year with their new additions on the field, they will be the team to beat in the NFL as a whole.
Greenbay
Coming off of a horrible season, Greenbay is in a pretty good position right now. Not much is expected of them, but they have the tools to blow those small expectations out of the water and get back on track. Ahman Green is coming off an injury, Javon Walker is gone, but Donald Driver has shown that he is a #1 wide out. With the addition of A.J. Hawk the packers will have a linebacker squad from hell with Nick Barnett, Roy Manning, and Abdul Hodge. Then their is the addition of Charles Woodson as corner which takes pressure of off Al Harris who for the past two years has been a #2 CB lining up as #1. Ahmad Carrol is also put in a better spot and will be able to further develop. With Farve coming back, and with players healthy, he should not have to force the ball so much and play from behind. Defensive upgrades, healthy players, and leadership by farve spells out a winning season for green bay and sets up Aaron Rogers for future success.
Arizona
This is a no duh one, but for bordom's sake I'll hit the cards too. They have filled their biggest hole at RB with a top 5 RB in Edgrin James. Not only will he take pressure of the QB with a better running game, but he also is one of the best, if not the best, and blocking and picking up the blitz. With Kurt Warner mentoring Matt Leinart and one of the best pair of wide outs in the game named Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald.. the Cardinals may emerge as a new NFL power house in the very very near future. They have my vote for most improved record in 2007.. (the packers might beat them though.)
Buffalo
They will probably still suck, but last year I called chicago's defense as being improved with a healthy Brian Urlacher.. an I'm going to try to go two for two in saying with a healthy Takeo Spikes among other players will result in the Bill's having one of the better defensive units in the NFL this year. Talk about a limb, but take a look at their draft additions as well. Both the Packers and the Bill's have surprises for you this year on defense.
Miami
