Quick Picks! The answer to procrastinating

The Rest of the Best:

After much procrastination, I realized how late I was delivering the picks for Division winners in the rest of the NFL. To prove I premeditated on these decisions prior to the NFL season, I will say off the bat I had the San Francisco 49ers winning the NFC West. Without further adieu here they are:


NFC West: 49ers
Analysis: How could I not? One of the most improved teams of 2009, Alex Smith finally on track and a tough Singletary defense led by Patrick Willis? Cardinals finishing a lackluster 2nd. Seahawks edging out the Rams for 3rd and 4th respectively. 


NFC East: Washington Redskins
Analysis: Call me crazy, but I love Donovan McNabb and the 'Skins defense. With Shanahan at the helm look for a wild turnaround this year and a letdown next year. The Eagles spend a down year with Kevin Kolb, finishing 4th. The Cowboys edge out the Giants for 2nd place and a wild card.


AFC South: Houston Texans
Analysis: Despite losing their top cornerback, the Texans return one of the top defensive lines and offenses. In fact, I love almost everything about the Texans defense and offense. The Titans respond with an up year finishing 2nd ahead of the Colts; who suffer the usual Super Bowl runner up downfall. Jaguars continue to look for fans and possibly a new city.


AFC North: Pittsburgh Steelers
Analysis: The sexy pick is the Ravens, they look like the most complete team. Having said that I wouldn't be surprised if the Bengals finish ahead of the Ravens. The Steelers are truly a complete team with a decent pass and run attack and an underrated, over explosive defense. The Ravens finish 2nd because I can't see the Bengals dominating any teams other than the Ravens. The Browns, well, next year might be a better year, but seriously, its the Browns.


Wild Card Picks AFC: Baltimore Ravens, New England Patriots
Wild Card Picks NFC: Dallas Cowboys, Atlanta Falcons


AFC Champion: Pittsburgh Steelers
NFC Champion: Green Bay Packers


Super Bowl Champion: Green Bay Packers


(Keep in mind this was all planned before the season so I realize how ridiculous this is currently. But I am a man of integrity so I must post my actual predictions before the season. And on that note go Lions!)
