10-6 *Playoffs Offense: Call me crazy, but the reason they are up here is my projected breakout year from Jay Cutler. Now that the kid has his diabetes under control and a few years under his belt, he’s ready to emerge. The running game will be a strict committee, although I love Selvin Young’s confidence. You’ve got to be cocky to be good in this league. Brandon ...

13-3 *Playoffs Offense: Peyton Manning. Any offense with that name needs no further comment. The only real question mark is the line play but I’m confident the veterans will hold that unit together and gel with the youngsters. Defense: I’m really, really high on this unit this year for a few reasons. #1, they are healthy. #2, they are experienced but young. And #3, they ...

12-4 *Playoffs Offense: This team is absolutely loaded at the skill positions. The only question mark is the offensive line, which struggled badly last season. In a really weak division, Pittsburgh will have no problem winning it but the hogs will determine how far the Steelers go. Justin Hartwig was a nice acquisition at C and immediately becomes the best player on the line. Max Starks ...

14-2 *Playoffs Offense: Where do you start with one of the best units of all-time? Tom Brady’s work speaks for itself, Wes Welker is the modern day Art Monk and Randy Moss is the most physically talented receiver ever to play the game. The running game is deeper than ever with Laurence Maroney and Kevin Faulk being joined by LaMont Jordan. If the line holds up, they could set an ...

15-1 *Playoffs Offense: In easily the best division in the NFL, the Cowboys reign supreme and it isn’t even close. Tony Romo is my favourite QB in the league. Sure he can’t hold a snap to save his life, but this guy can flat out play and then he’ll have a beer with you after the game. Every position is stacked on the offensive side of the ball with the exception of WR. ...

New York Giants Predicted Record: 12-4 Playoff Seed: 2 Key Player: Justin Tuck, With the absence of Osi and Strahan the man with the millions Justin Tuck is going to need to perform at a very high level. He has all the pressure squarly on his shoulders. If he gets to the QB consistently they can make up for the absences. If he struggles the Giants will give up a lot of points. Fantasy ...

New Orleans Saints Predicted Record: 14-2 Playoff Seed: #1 Key Player: Reggie Bush/Deuce McAllister, Deuce went down last year and so did the Saints. For as good as Brees has been the past two seasons they need a rush attack to balance the offense and to control the ball and wear down the defense. Fantasy Player to Eye: Jeremy Shockey, Consider me on the bandwagon for Shockey. He's ...

Last week I spent a great deal of time breaking down the AFC. This week,with only a few days to spare, I have decided to take a hard look at the NFC. Unlike the AFC, the NFC has been a crapshoot. How will the NFC shape out this year? Let’s ...

Let me start by saying I hope I don’t duplicate last year’s stellar predictions. Where I only hit on 50% of the playoff teams. Where I predicted the Rams to go 10-6. Where I predicted that the Ravens and Saints would square off in Super Bowl XLII... Turd Bowl XLII would have been more appropriate. Well, I can tell you I feel no more confident about this batch of predictions. So take them ...

It’s that time again, the start of another NFL season. With the opening game just days away its time to put it all on the line and put your predictions out for the world to see, and with that we present the completely unbiased NFC East predictions. 1. Dallas Cowboys 11-5 I think we can officially call Tony Romo a poor man’s Brett Favre. He’s got the media love because ...

Ah, can you smell it? No, not the sorry excuse for food you’re brewing in your kitchen – the NFL season genius! There’s a hint of fall in the air and all of the locals are wearing the current player bandwagon jersey. Labor Day has finally arrived and it’s officially okay to start planning how to bogart your children’s Halloween candy. It all hints at the same thing, with that thing being the ...

This time around on Curtis Sounds Off I am going to give you my predictions for the NFL season to come. This time around I am going to provide you with my NFC picks. You will agree with some of my picks and many you won’t (such as how high I am on Seattle ...

Finally, football is back. On Thursday, the Giants and Redskins will play the first game of the NFL regular season, and in a more important game, the Colts will play Da Bears on Sunday night. With all of the roster cuts made and no apparent big moves or injuries on the horizon, I can make my official predictions for the 2008-09 season. Standings AFC East 1. New England Patriots: 14-2 ...

Don’t know what it is about today, but having heard, seen and read nearly every season preview on the Denver Broncos; I can’t remember a good thing necessarily about one of them. Not today though, today everyone seems to be on the Broncos side. As I’m typing this 13% of the readers polled on NFL.com believe that the Denver Broncos will be the non-playoff surprise team in ...

The NFL kicks off its regular season in less than a week and I am pumped! It seems like it was just yesterday that I had to watch Eli and the Giants do the impossible against the Patriots. I have a lot of thoughts and predictions on how the upcoming ...
