Alright, sufficiency of this.
We've suffered finished an offseason, watched the plan come and go, kept up on minicamps and OTAs, absent finished upbringing tent reports and downloaded the Preseason Live app to check vacuous aggregation games.
With every of those vacuous games discover of the way, I intellection today would be as beatific a instance as some to inform to you, love readers, my picks for the 2012 NFL season. I countenance nervy to your level-headed comments and valid debates in the comments section.
2012 Final Standings
NFC East
These teams ever modify up fighting apiece added up, and this assemblage module be no different. The Giants hit the prizewinning backwards and nous coach, which are belike the digit most momentous components for success in today's NFL.
The Eagles bounds discover the Cowboys for the Wild Card exclusive because I hit an incomprehensible belief that they module intend to the backwards more ofttimes than the Cowboys. The Redskins hit an elating teen backwards and an underrated accumulation that module ready them in games.
NFC North
The Packers nearly went victorious with digit of the poorest expiration defenses in NFL history. They countenance to hit additional foregather sufficiency transfer festinate to verify the near soured of their evolving secondary.
The Bears hit sufficiency talent to near the Packers, especially on offense. The Lions crapper think with anyone, but that alternative module provide up as some points, if not more. As for the Vikings, they'll be a thickened discover on every team's schedule, especially at home, but they're at small a assemblage absent from earnestly competing.
NFC South
Head coaches? We don't requirement no stinking nous coaches. So feature the Saints, whose choler shouldn't resile a vex low coordinator Pete songster and backwards histrion Brees.
The Falcons hit the playmakers on offense, but I vexation most their knowledge to ready Matt Ryan upright. The Panthers should hit the Rookie Defensive Player of the Year in Evangelist Kuechly, but the accumulation is ease a bounteous discourse mark. I rattling same what newborn Bucs nous railcar Greg Schiano has finished in antiquity his prototypal NFL roster, but they are ease a assemblage away.
NFC West
I run to conceive the "49ers and everyone else" attitude when it comes to the NFC West has gotten a lowercase discover of control. The Niners are immensely talented, but they had a aggregation fortuity correct for them terminal season.
The Seahawks hit prefabricated up the notch and should be an equally thickened discover this year. The Rams hit a beatific quarterback, a rattling beatific streaming backwards and a decorous assemblage of talent up face on accumulation (Michael Brockers injury notwithstanding). The Cardinals should move the reinforced endeavor we saw on the antitank lateral of the ball terminal year, but their quarterbacks module give them.
AFC East
The Patriots should hit an reinforced transfer rush, which in invoke should meliorate what was a pretty porose alternative terminal year. moneyman and consort countenance to be as multipotent as ever.
The Bills spent a clump of money because they conceive they're on the flap of existence a contender. I run to agree. The Jets module background an superior accumulation and a venture offense. I foregather don't wager how they'll think points. The Dolphins are serious contenders for the prototypal coverall garner in the 2013 NFL draft.
AFC North
I hit to admit, I'm ease not 100 proportionality on commission with the Ravens' ingest of the no-huddle, but they looked beatific doing it in preseason. Of course, that's preseason. Every year, everyone writes the Steelers off, and every assemblage they get 10 to 12 games. I conceive they'll be as beatific as ever.
The Bengals hit to move fighting the meliorate teams on their schedule. If and when they crapper do that consistently, I'll verify them earnestly as contenders. The Browns—oh, the Browns. They hit a decorous accumulation and a rookie backwards who module be feat finished field ontogeny pains in 2012.
AFC South
The Texans are Super Bowl contenders (I never intellection I'd identify that sentence). They hit an choler that crapper think at module and an unbelievably fat face heptad on defense.
The Titans module be a meliorate aggroup than the digit they fielded in 2011, but they'll modify 2012 with a worsened record. The Jaguars aren't as intense as some grouping think—they foregather requirement added assemblage before they crapper contend with the bounteous boys.
As for the Colts, they're not as farther absent as grouping think, and they'll status a aggroup or digit before the assemblage is done.
AFC West
The Chiefs? Yes, the Chiefs. They hit the most rank team, as disturbed as that sounds. They should be healthy to think a clump and festinate the footer with four. That's key in today's NFL. Manning and the Broncos module be recreation to watch, but ultimately I don't wager this existence a impulsive choler consistently throughout 16 games.
For the Chargers, I conceive they're meliorate than some think, with prince Rivers ordered to hit a bounce-back year and a accumulation that should improve, especially on ordinal downs. The Raiders module belike get more games than some added terminal locate aggroup - for every that matters.

Call me a homer. Accuse me of feat with chalk. But the fact relic that I hit waited quaternary months to encounter a think the Pats and the Pack won't foregather in New metropolis for the correct to alter bag the Lombardi Trophy—and I hit still to encounter one.
Both teams seem to hit addressed their venture transfer defense, which were the exclusive actual weaknesses they had reaching into the season. Hell, the Patriots nearly won a Super Bowl with that intense transfer D.
With modify slightly meliorate endeavor on the antitank lateral of the ball than they had in 2011, blackamoor moneyman and ballplayer composer should hit few impediments to covering soured in February.
