2009 - 2010 NFL playoff predictions

[LikeAnAvalanche]

We've reached the halfway point, and I think the playoff picture is STARTING to emerge, we might as well have fun with the information we have.


AFC:
1. South - Colts
2. East - Patriots
3. North - Bengals
4. West - Chargers
5. Wildcard spot - Steelers
6. Wildcard spot - Broncos

NFC:
1. South - Saints
2. North - Vikings
3. East - Cowboys
4. West - Cardinals
5. Wildcard spot - Falcons
6. Wildcard spot - Eagles

Wildcard:
Bengals over Broncos
Steelers over Chargers
Eagles over Cowboys
Cardinals over Falcons

Divisional:
Colts over Steelers
Bengals over Patriots
Saints over Eagles
Vikings over Cardinals

Conference Championships:
Colts over Bengals
Vikings over Saints

Super Bowl:
Vikings 31 - Colts 27




Some method to my madness.

I know I'm a Vikings fan, but you can't blame me for thinking we can beat the Saints and Cardinals :shrug:

The reason I have the Bengals over the Patriots comes down to I think someone is going to get hurt on the Patriots, I don't know why, I just do. Also I think the Bengals are a better offensive team then the Patriots. (part of that matchup is because I believe the Bengals secondary is better than the Patriots)

I think everything else is pretty simple, I believe the Broncos collapse and finish 10-6 and the Chargers finish 11-5 (i've said this since the broncos were 5-0, i'm not saying it because of the back to back losses.)

Your predictions?

[xbrokendownx]

Jets arent even going to make the playoffs

[rcrook]

I'm still not sold on the Bengals or Broncos

[THE_SICKEST]

As a Vikings fan Im really enjoying seeing both predictions having them in the Superbowl. It could finally be our year!

[LikeAnAvalanche]

I'm not sold on the broncos, but jumping out to a 6-0 lead, gets them my last wildcard spot. haha

[SSLYBY]

I'm not sold on the broncos, but jumping out to a 6-0 lead, gets them my last wildcard spot. haha

Didn't the Vikings start out 6-0 and then failed to make the playoffs?

[sleepyseanzzz]

im a colts fan, but with the loss of bob sanders for the rest of the season in addition to two other colts starting defensemen for the rest of the year will hurt them big time. granted sanders only played in one game this year their defense could be so much better with him healthy. they are undefeated after having the easiest schedule for the first half but the second half is pretty tough although it has some "easy" games scattered in it. we will have to see how they fare against the pats, ravens, and broncos. other than that they got the jets, texans, titans, bills, and jags. they could run the table if they were all healthy on O and D but they would have to get past the pats, ravens, and broncos. that being said, peyton manning is great at overcoming obstacles during the season, its the postseason where the injuries and all the other bs catches up with them. putting them in the superbowl is a possibility. i can see the saints or vikings over the colts, steelers, pats, or bengals.

The NFC north that year, was A LOT stronger than the AFC west is this year.

I see what your saying though.

Denvers remaining schedule has Washington, oakland, and kansas city twice. If they win all of those games, (which they should) i pretty much believe they make the playoffs.

Sorry you don't like my decisions, but if you search through my previous posts in the nfl forum. I always said the gaints wouldn't make the playoffs, I even had the bengals as my wildcard after week 2. the only thing that has really changed is the saints being 1 instead of a wildcard, and the falcons making the wildcard, instead of the panthers.

So really, it seems like i'm just correct. :overhead:

[abcdefghijake]

Ori it could be you made your picks after the season started...?

I actually pick the playoffs before every season, last year, the only think I missed was the dolphins, I'm rather good at this.

Neat. You still made a thread half way through the season (I understand) and picked like one team that was out of a playoff spot. You're soooooooooo good!!!!

[Tyler Vagyler]

haha my bad...i just copy/pasted the original posters thing and switched the top seeds. completely forgot to switch the division names.


but i also think the Patriots might make a run. Vikings will definitely represent the NFC, they are the most complete team in the NFL imo. The AFC will either be the Steelers or the Patriots.

Would have figured being a Vikings fan would mean you assume the worst and that they find new ways to blow it.

Didn't the Vikings start out 6-0 and then failed to make the playoffs?
Yep. Led the division for the entire season besides 0:00 after Week 17 too.

Now sensing your general assholeness, as opposed to your dislike for the timing of my thread, I'm going to go ahead and assume that If I made this earlier, you also would have had a problem with it. Take your problems, and let them off on someone else eh ? : )

[LikeAnAvalanche]

Haha, I actually believe we are going to find a way to blow it, but I make my picks based upon the match-ups, this is for accuracy, not on my heart. Because in my heart of hearts, I believe the bengals can go on a crazy run and win it, but the odds of that are slim.

[Tyler Vagyler]

Vikings have never been this stacked. They are the most complete and solid team there is. Hands down.

I just find it funny that you tried bragging about picks you made after the season started.

You're from Jersey so I wouldn't expect anything better from you though.

I think they were more stacked that year there was no Super Bowl.

[foofiter02]

I'm all about this being a Vikings thread. I've been a fan of theirs since playing as them in Tecmo Super Bowl back in '91. Even if it is on the back of Brett Favre, I'll take a Superbowl win this year. I love how they're having a great season even though AP isn't necessarily running through teams like he did last year. He doesn't have to. Also, Jared Allen is a beast.

[S9Dallasoz]

I really think the Texans are good enough to be the 6th team in.

[LikeAnAvalanche]

I think the texans are GOOD ENOUGH to be the 6th team in, but they just wont get it done. I see them going 9-7

[Drew Beringer]

Trust me, Brett Favre will break the hearts of the purple people sooner rather than later. In fact, it'll happen at the worst possible time and it'll be excruciating.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Eh, it's still too early for me to predict anything.

[THE_SICKEST]

I think they were more stacked that year there was no Super Bowl.

You're talking about 98 right? I think their defense is a lot better this year but I could be wrong. Not to mention ol' number four is having is best season of his career so far.

[THE_SICKEST]

Jared Allen is the best DE in football. Absolute monster.

[LastPlaceRocks]

This is why it'll be later rather than sooner.

The 09 D is better than the 98 D, but at the same time the 98 offense kills the 09 version out of the water, Favre and all. Why they took a knee....is it too early to drink?

what makes you say that? he's been rockin it pretty much every week so far.

[Drew Beringer]

what makes you say that? he's been rockin it pretty much every week so far.
he was rocking it pretty well in 2007 until the NFC Championship Game as well. I am just saying I've seen Favre choke more in the playoffs than succeed.

jgood4, thats a decent list. I like that you have the Steelers making it even though they are currently out. I think if they win out they will be in, but prolly not guaranteed. The Texans are another story though, in fact playoffticker.com has them with only a 4% chance to even make the playoffs. but all in all definitely a decent list.

and finish with cincy and indy

[steeltime09]

Not likely that the Jets will make the playoffs. You should check with http://www.playoffticker.com (http://www.playoffticker.com/) - the jets only have 4.4% chance to make the playoffs according to them, and they seem to take all remaining games for all teams into account.

Horrible predictions... the vikings have played 1 formidable opponent in their season and honestly I knew they would lose to the cardinals... way overrated team
You're predicioton with the bengals and patriots is off too the bengals are not that good, the pats will take it. Your broncos prediction is good, your chargers prediction is way off... do you not watch sports center or espn???

[Idealist80]

lol there are so many bad predictions on this thread... people don't know their football

[xbrokendownx]

how the fuck do you know the vikings arent going to go far? anything can happen

im sure you saw the cardinals nearly winning it all last year, too

[guccimaneburrrr]

lol there are so many bad predictions on this thread... people don't know their football

give us your predictions. if less than 75 percent of them aren't corrrect, you leave the sports fourm forever. k?
