Sports 'N Stuff — NFL Forecast

By Brian Flagg
iBerkshires Staff
11:05AM / Thursday, August 28, 2008

Well the season is about a week away. I don't know about you but I AM READY! 

This is not so much my usual column but, rather, my picks for each division winner for this year. As always I am interested in your comments so here we go:

AFC East — The Patriots are still far above everyone else in this division. The Dolphins have made some moves that will help them like acquiring Chad Pennington to be their starting QB. The Jets have also with Brett Favre. Still not enough though. Pats win this division again this year.

AFC West — I would like to pick my Broncos but we all know better. The Chargers are the class in the West. Though I don't think Phillip Rivers is a great quarterback I do think he is enough weapons with LT and Antonio gates to have a very potent offense. Plus their defense is in the top 5 in the entire league. The Chargers will come out as Western champs.

AFC South — This division may shock everyone this year. The Colts have been dominant over the last several years. The Jaguars, though, have made big strides and I think they win this division this year by one game. The Colts have an aging Marvin Harrison and while Dallas Clark and Reggie Wayne are still formidable weapons I don't think enough to give Peyton manning his usual supply of offense prowess. Jags are the winners here.

AFC North — It's very simple here. The Browns are overrated and Derek Anderson WILL NOT have a year like he did last year. In fact, Brady Quinn will be the starter by week 9.  The Steelers are still too tough and Big Ben will take them to the division crown. Steelers come out on top.

NFC East — Sorry Giants. You lost too much on defense with Strahan retiring and The Big O out for the season. The Cowboys are way better than you and they will win this division going away. The Boys come out ahead.

NFC West — Well the entire NFC is pretty much a train wreck. The Seahwaks are probably the second best team behind the Cowboys so I will pick them to win this division. There isn't really much more to say than that. Seahawks win.

NFC South — Tampa Bay won this division last year but I think New Orleans will be too tough this year. Reggie Bush is coming into his own and the addition of Jeremy Shockey to an already potent offense will solidify them in this division. Saints will be on top.

NFC North — The Packers screwed up BIG TIME. Brett Favre is gone and Aaron Rodgers is not ready to lead them to glory. There is no confidence in that locker room. The Bears have their own issues as does Minnesota. So I am going to say it — the Detroit Lions will win this division this year.

So there you have it gang. Let me know what you think.
