2013 NFL Predictions

[Da Schwab]

Since HMFFL's contest didn't work out so well this season (sorry man, I just don't have the spare cash), I guess I'll go ahead and make a prediction thread for the rest of us. Be as specific or simple as you want, I know we all just like to look back on this and see who was spot on and who was waaaay off...

Best Record: Houston Texans (13-3)
Worst Record: Jacksonville Jaguars (1-15)
First Coach to be Fired: Ron Rivera

Bold Prediction(s): Doug Martin has a sophomore slump. Kaepernick doesn't live up to hype and Niners fans wish they had Alex Smith back. Cam Newton doesn't go back to freshman form.

[Mamba Mentality]

Unless Tavon Austin has a really good year on special teams, there is no way he wins offensive rookie of the year. He had a pretty rough preseason beating press coverage, and it's not going to get any easier when you have to go up against the likes of Sherman, Petterson/Mathieu, and Rogers two times a year.

that second wildcard in the nfc is tough, nfc north is a crap shoot, i don't think any of the nfc east teams will have a good enough record, but the saints could be there and i really considered the rams too

bold prediction: the running qbs will start to be figured out this year, seahawks and 49ers are loaded enough to still make the playoffs but the running qbs will be less effective running this year[/quote]

[Celtics_Champs]

I like Hermes thinking here, we could get one of those weird Falcons-Bengals types of super bowls. I personally would love a San Fran - NE SB, it's just a shame it didn't happen last year.

MVP: Tom Brady
OPOY: Tom Brady
DPOY: Geno Atkins
OROY: Tavon Austin
DROY: Honey Badger
COY: Andy Reid

Bold predictions:
Tannehill jumps to a new level.
Newton plays unreal.

[Da Schwab]

I can't believe people think Fat Eddie Lacy is going to win OROY. That guy won't be starting for the Packers by Week 8.

I honestly couldn't think of anyone else. Tavon Austin is the trendy pick but I just don't trust Bradford enough and he's in a division with some really good Ds.

AFC East: Patriots
AFC North: Bengals
AFC South: Texans
AFC West: Broncos
Wild Card: Chiefs and Colts

NFC East: Cowboys
NFC North: Packers
NFC South: Falcons

My bold pick is the 49ers will miss the playoffs.
