2011 NFL Playoff Predictions

Here we go again! Another long summer is coming is coming to an end. The temps are falling, the trees are losing their lush green color, and most guys (and some ladies) are feeling the buzz to watch someone get completely destroyed by another. Yep, football is in the air!

From coast to coast and border to border, people across this great nation have had to put up with Basketball, Baseball, and whatever else keeps you out of trouble. But not anymore. Football is back!

After a "Lockout" that lasted nearly five months (which goes to show the greediness of people, and just how much this league is based on money more than anything else) the players and owners signed a ten year deal. Which means we just have to go through this AGAIN in ten years...but for now, enjoy it!

So just to give you an insight of how I think this season will turn out, here's my playoff predictions (not that they mean anything, because I'm terrible at picking winners).

AFC
(Division)(Winner)(Seed)

North - Ravens 3
South - Texans 4
East - Patriots 1
West - Chargers 2
Wild Card - Steelers 6
Wild Card - Jets 5

NFC

North - Packers 3
South - Saints 1
East - Eagles 2
West - Rams 4
Wild Card - Falcons 5
Wild Card - Cardinals 6

My Super Bowl Picks are the Patriots over the Saints.

There they are, they're probably no good but it's better than nothing. A dark horse team I haven't mentioned is the Lions. If Matthew Stafford stays healthy, watch out, with that defensive line you never know what could happen.

So sit back, enjoy your diet coke, and enjoy this season. Before you know it, it'll be over, and we'll be back to Basketball, Baseball, and again, whatever keeps you out of trouble. Until next season, that is...
