2008 Season Preview

In following the Coach's blog, I figured, I too would do a 2008 season preview: only, mine is real.

There are a lot of things that go into making a season preview that's worth holding water. Time, knowledge of the sport, teams, players, coaches, systems, schedules, etc......

I haven't got a whole lot of those. Namely, just time.

So, here are the NFC picks (AFC will be posted tomorrow):

NFC East:
Dallas 12-4, Romo and company do work son.
New York Giants 10-6, Defending champs prove they can still play.
Philly 9-7, McNabb needs a few more offensive weapons.
Washington 8-8, .500 ball ain't getting you no where.

NFC North:
Green Bay 11-5, Proving that they can beat up the weaker teams, they'll face a challenge in the post-season.
Minnesota 10-6, A slow start but a very promising finish.
Chicago 5-11, After a very rough start, they string some wins in the middle of the season, but nothing to write home about.
Detroit 3-13, After a promising start to the season, they hit the skids.

NFC South:
New Orleans 13-3, Even a hurricane can't stop the Saints.
Tampa Bay 9-7, Doesn't look like the post-season this year for an older Bucs team.
Carolina 8-8, .500 isn't what Carolinian's had in mind with Delhomme back under center
Atlanta 2-14, Life after Vick is going to take some time to readjust.

NFC West:
Seattle 12-4, They take this division easily
Arizona 6-10, This team is still stuck on the bubble
Saint Louis 2-14, Wow - I'm not nice to bad teams, but chances are their record will be better than this
San Francisco 1-15, I strike out what I said earlier about this holding water. No way will four teams in the NFC (Detroit, Atlanta, Saint Louis, San Francisco) combine for only 8 wins.

Post-Season Standings:
1. New Orleans 13-3
2. Dallas 12-4
3. Seattle 12-4
4. Green Bay 11-5
5. New York 10-6
6. Minnesota 10-6

Wild Card:
Seattle vs. Minnesota - Seattle 13-4
Green Bay vs. New York - Green Bay 12-5

Divisional:
New Orleans vs. Green Bay - New Orleans 14-3
Dallas vs. Seattle - Seattle 14-4

NFC Championship Game:
New Orleans vs. Seattle - New Orleans 15-3
