Notes:
 
- I think this is the season the shit hits the fan for Peyton and his arm falls off, leading to a new champion in the AFC West.
- Part of me wanted to pick Seattle to make it to the Super Bowl, but how rare is it to see a SB rematch?
- Green Bay is a trendy pick, but for a team that has been very competitive for the last 6-8 years, they only have one SB appearance to show for it. I could see Dallas getting on a roll and running through the NFC.
- A lot of people are predicting big things for Philly, but I just think they lost too much talent and I think Kelly is a little bit out of his league when it comes to roster construction.
- Pete Carroll wins the COY award when the media runs with "He didn't let his SB failure ruin their season" storyline.

Notes  
 
Yes manning is getting weaker  but the denver D is top 5    AFC West is tailor made toward 6-0   if Manning can get by week 2    
 
i have NE loseing to KC in foxboro    in round 1 because the chiefs are due for playoff game win  
 
my big stunner is sea missing the playoffs   because of weak o-line and no kam C Teams will slow lynch down daring wilson to throw to win  
 
Balt  in Jan is a tough out  
 
indy cant beat NE  or physical teams       NE they can get by with their CB'S during the reg season   but 1 INJ at WR TE  CB S  and NE  is in trouble
 
Den manning is going to have to prove he can win under pressre
