2007 Record Predictions Contest

Among the ideas presented at the Union's Roundtable Discussion early this year, this one stood out. Before every season, predictions run rampant. This year such questions include: Who's winning the Super Bowl? What teams will be not quite good enough? Who will be better? What will the Cowboy's do with the #1 overall pick?

Everyone has questions, everyone thinks they have answers. But who really does? And by the end of the season, no one really remembers who predicted what. That's where this game comes in.

It is your job to predict the upcoming season. After it's over, we'll look back and praise your knowledge...or ridicule your stupidity. Either way we're gonna have a lot of fun, eh?

Here's how it's going to work.

Part 1: I'll list every team, grouped into their respective division. You go through and decide the record each team will finish with at the end of the regular season. You can just guess, or if you wish, you can do your research, examining the schedules of every team. Either is fine. Put an * next to the 4 teams you predict for the Wild Card(2 from each conference) You may include comments and special predictions next to the team's record. More on that in a bit.

Part 2 is your Playoff Prediction. Based on the teams you decided would be playoff bound(be sure to put them in the right seed), you will make your prediction for the winner of Super Bowl XLII.

You will receive NFLUPS points for participating. Then at the end of the season, you will receive more based on how you did. If you would like, you may provide a bit of commentary. Heck, you may even get extra points if something in your commentary pans out.

Lazyness note: If you don't wish to include records, special predictions or such, that's fine. You won't get as many NFLUPS points, but you'll still be allowed to participate. Listing the teams in order of their division finish is the minimum required.

Any questions, concerns, comments, feel free to say so. Discussion is fine. If you see a prediction you think is absolutely absurd, call them out on it. Discussion makes things fun.

Oh yeah, deadline is kickoff of the first game of the season (NO @ Indy, Thursday Sept 6), and please don't cheat. I can tell if you've edited your post, I will check it to see what and when you changed.

Part 1:

AFC East
Bills (6-10)-Losman seems to be showing that he's a pretty good QB. But from the last few seasons, probably won't be. He has a pretty good recieving corps, but he doesn't seem to be stepping up.
Dolphins (7-9)-Pretty much completely ripped up their QB depth chart and spit it out new. John Beck? I know, but not quite yet. I don't think he will even blossom, IMO. Their defense is getting far too old as a whole.
Jets (10-6)*-This team COULD make the playoffs again. Their defensive front 7 is skilled with Shaun Ellis and Jon Vilma, and their passing game can also be deadly with Pennington and his great group of recievers. They could repeat last year, and I think they probably will.
Patriots (14-2)-Wow, what an off season! Their offense suddenly became probably one of the best in the NFL! Laurence Maroney is projected to have a great year, which he probably will with his amazing ability to break tackles in the open field. Brady's "spread the ball" passing game would do wonders with his recieving corps, who are suddenly from one of the worst to one of the best with legendary Randy Moss and speedy Donte Stallworth. Their recievers from last year were also pretty good and OK. Teams really need to watch out for the 5 wide sets with this team.

AFC South
Colts (11-5)-Their division has gotten tougher, and these guys didn't get much better. Especially on defense and on the O Line. The passing game didn't change much and is still deadly, as usual, but they just lost too much.
Jaguars (9-7)-Could these guys make the playoffs? MAYBE, but I doubt it. Garrard and Leftwich? You gotta be kidding me! Get some better QB's and maybe we'll start to count you in. Your run game is amazing, though. Maurice Jones Drew and Fred Taylor are both amazing backs and can catch fire easily. Your defense is also OK.
Texans (6-10)-Meh, it'll still take a lot more to get this team from the bottom of the pit. They really need to improve their horrible O Line, if they want their offense to succeed. Do you know why David Carr didn't succeed? It's cuz he got this same horrible O Line that Schaub is inheriting! The defense isn't bad, but also needs more improvement if they wanna crack .500
Titans (7-9)-VY=Madden Curse! He will likely get hurt or something and this will leave the Titans out of the equation

AFC North
Bengals (7-9)-Here they are, the Jail Blazers! Most of their good players on defense are suspended, so their defense will be pretty bad this season. They have a few possible future studs, but it's probably not gonna be their time to shine yet. Also, their running game is pretty bad. Kenny Irons is out, and Rudi Johnson? He SUCKS! The Bengals have a great O Line, but even with a great O Line, he CONTINUES to get mediocre gains! Their running game will be horrible, and their only hope at the playoffs is if Carson throws for 5000 and 30 touchdowns... Which probably won't happen.
Browns (4-12)-Brady Quinn most likely won't start, and is overrated, anyways. Frye won't be throwing to a much different recieving corps. either. Their O Line has changed with the arrival of Joe Thomas, but the rest is the same old, same old, except for Jamal Lewis coming in. He should do great with Joe Thomas blocking, and will probably get a 1400+ season. Their defense is the same mediocre defense.
Ravens (10-6)-They're getting old. Steve McNair isn't getting any younger, and is probably close to retirement. Enough said about their passing game there. Their front 7, who were always great, aren't getting any younger either. Adalius Thomas left and Ray Lewis is well past his prime. Ed Reed is probably their only superstar on defense. Samari Rolle is pretty good too. But not a superstar.
Steelers (8-8)-Big Ben.. The question is if Big Ben is back. Yeah, he threw for 250 yards in the preseason against the Eagles starters, but will he keep that up? That's the entire question surrounding the Steel City.

AFC West
Broncos (10-6)*-Jay Cutler should have a pretty good season. But some people still have some doubts, like me. He has a GREAT recieving corps too, so that should help him. He has no reason to fail. Mike Bell could also be something great. On defense, John Lynch is getting old and overrated, and their linebackers are great, as usual. But their corners are now the best in the NFL! You can't ask for much more than Dre Bly and Champ Bailey standing on the same field!
Chargers (11-5)-With the complete reconstruction of the coaching staff, a TON has changed for the Chargers. LT will be amazing yet again this season, no doubt about that. Phillip Rivers should also fare rather well. The defense is also pretty good, but the coaching staff, who are pretty much totally new, will probably make the difference this year. Norv Turner is a horrible Head Coach and should go back to becoming a coordinator.
Chiefs (7-9)-Nothing much has changed. Damon Huard will be throwing this entire season and will give them a couple more W's on the chart... That's pretty much the only major thing.
Raiders (3-13)-This team is pretty much horrible. Jamarcus Russell probably will never even sign, with Al Davis being a complete cheap ass. Daunte Culpepper will continue to suck, and this team... really... REALLY needs to get back on their feet by firing a whole bunch of coaches and guys in the front office... They just need to pack it up, throw it out, and start over.

NFC East
Cowboys (10-6)-This team could be somethinggood this year. Marion Barber should be great with Julius Jones, so their running game is gonna be good. Romo is also throwing to the same old same old great recieving corps. The defense is also OK.
Eagles (8-8)-Well, it pretty much depends. Will McNabb wil be healthy? He is really the wehole question, sure there is Kolb, but like I said with John Beck... I'm not quite sure he will ever even blossom. If he will, it'll be much later. McNabb was pretty much the reason he took these guys to 3 straight NFC Championships before.
Giants (6-10)-Eli Manning is pretty inconsistent, and their running game is bad now with Tiki Barber done. Defense isn't much help to these guys either. They'll just have to cross their fingers and hope they can get Eli to start being consistent.
Redskins (6-10)-Jason Campbell is overrated. Enough said there. Their running game is also great with Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts teaming up as a great duo. Defense is pretty much mediocre and nothing special.

NFC South
Buccaneers (4-12)-These guys suck. They are all too old and aren't getting anywhere this season.
Falcons (9-7)*-Petrino HAD high hopes for Vick... But you can forget about that. If Joey Harrington can do what he did in with the Phins, it should be good enough. Not 3rd Overall talent, but it's good enough for the Falcons.
Panthers (8-8)-Well, the QB situation is pretty messy in Carolina. Delhomme is a HUGE question mark, and is probably on a short leash by now. That's why they brought inCarr, who people still wonder, "Was he just a bust? Or was his O Line just too bad in Houston?". I believe that's the whole thing behind the Panthers.
Saints (12-4)-Amazing offense, improving defense. Enough said.

NFC North
Bears (8-8)-Grossman is horrible. That's pretty much it about their passing game. Cedric Benson should do pretty well, though. On offense, Benson's their only help.Their defense is full of overrated guys, but are still pretty good.
Lions (7-9)-We upgraded our O Line, running game, and passing game. Or, in other words, our entire offense. Kitna, who threw for 4000 yards last season, should excel throwing to his tandem of Roy Williams, Calvin Johnson, and Mike Furrey. Tatum Bell is also an improvement, and guys like George Foster brought in to help out the O Line also will help out the entire offense. But on defense, the loss of Dre Bly hurts their secondary too much. Gerald Alexander could be starting at safety, and from being a star in Boise State, people wonder whether it was the small school matchup that made him look good or what.
Packers (8-8)-The Pack should do pretty good. Not all that special, though. Brett Favre still has some juice left in him with his good recieving corps, and their defense is OK too.
Vikings (7-9)-Tavaris Jackson is a huge question mark. It pretty much depends on whether he excells or not. Their running game is great now with Chester Taylor and possible ROY Adrian Peterson in a tandem, and their defense is OK.

NFC West
49ers (8-8)-Their passing game is good with Alex Smith and Amaz Battle and Ashley Lelie. Not a great passing game, not bad, but above average. Frank Gore is gonna be your regular Frank Gore, amazing and MVP candidate. Defense is mediocre.
Cardinals (7-9)-Defense needs work, and so does the O Line. Until the O Line gets upgraded, that is when their potentially great offense can suddenly explode.
Rams (9-7)*-Stephen Jackson running the Ball and Marc Bulger, Tory Holt, and legendary Isaac Bruce create an amazing offense.
Seahawks (10-6)-Injuries hindered these guys last season. But near the end of the season, when their key offensive players like former MVP Shaun Alexander and Matt Hassellbeck came back, they became great and made a playoff run.

detroitpistons0

You should have 4 teams listed in both Weeks 1 & 2. 4 games=4 winners

AFC East
Bills (6-10)- I think that pouzlouzny and lynch can be rookie of the years on their sides and lee evans will be a probowler
Dolphins (5-11)-I dont think their offense is solid enough to win alot of games and they might trade chambers
Jets (10-6)*- I think that if the front 7 does their job in the second year of the 3-4 they will win. And they will win alot of close games with thomas jones.
Patriots (13-3)- They are just too good of a team with just so much improvements.

AFC South
Colts(11-5)- The colts lost alot of players on defense so they will have to win alot of games with offense which they did a pretty good job of last regular season
Jaguars(8-8)- The jaguars have a solid defense and running game but questions at QB and WR will hurt them
Texans(7-9)- Team that is starting to get better and would not shock me if they broke out this year
Titans(6-10)- last season seemed very flukey as they won alot of close games. plus the madden curse:P

AFC North
Bengals(11-5)- Carson palmer will win the mvp this year
Browns(4-12)- they are a young team which will make some mistakes. Brady quinn will probabaly start by week 5
Ravens(9-7)- They have a solid defense even with the loss of adalious thomas. Their offense has some questions.
Steelers(10-6)*- The steelers so far look pretty good and look like a playoff team.

AFC West
Broncos(9-7)- I think that denver has the potential to have a great season but i dont think cutler will break out
Chargers(12-4)- They are probabally the most talented team in football as long as norv turner dosent screw it up.
Chiefs(7-9)- I dont know what to think about this team they have alot of qb questions, But i think their defense will be better and they will hover around .500 for the year.
Raiders(3-13)- The season is lost for jamarcus russel as he has still not signed culpepper has started out pretty well. I just dont think this team can be around .500

NFC East
Cowboys(11-5)- I think that if tony romo can get past his botched snap and look foward which he has look pretty well when ive watched him in preseason and their defense gets better they will win the division.
Eagles(10-6)- I just have a gut feeling donavan will stay healthy and they will make the playoffs
Giants(5-11)- I think tiki leaving is the reason for this prediction. Eli will be better but not enough for a .500 season or playoffs
Redskins(7-9)- I think if they stay past injuries they can improve to 7-9 or even 8-8 as this is a team that made the playoffs 2 years ago

NFC South
Buccaneers(6-10)- Tampa had alot of close games last year and i think that garcia's game management as well as cadalac's bounceback season will get them to 6-10
Falcons(3-13)- I hope they are high in the draft so they get bhrom.
Panthers(10-6)*- Dan morgans health is ahuge concern in the panthers season if he's healthy carolina will have a better defense. I feel that delhomme will have a better year because of the pressure of carr behind him on the depth chart.
Saints(12-4)- Very solid offense i feel the best in the nfl. A defense that will improve favorites to go to sb imo

NFC North
Bears(10-6)- Alot of questions involving grossman and the offense but they are the best team in the division.
Lions(7-9)- They will be very improved on both sides of the ball i think that jon kitna will pass for 4000 yards again.
Packers(8-8)- team that made alot of strides last year to better football i think if they find a good running game this prediction would be better.
Vikings(5-11)- They have adrian peterson who will be favorite to win rookie of the year but they dont have anyone to catch a ball in their wr corps. I mean i could start for them at wr.

NFC West
49ers(8-8)- Have alot of potential on them to win their divison or make the playoffs i think they just fall short though
Cardinals(6-10)- Just look worst because of all the talent on the other teams in the divison.
Rams(10-6)-probabally the most underlooked team in the divison compared to all the other teams but bold prediction they win the divsion
Seahawks(10-6)*- They have the most talent on defense in the divsionand have loads of talent on the offense

Week 3: Patriots, Saints

Super Bowl: Saints

Part 1:

AFC East
Patriots (13-3) I may have slighted them a game, but 13 is more realistic than 14.
Jets (9-7) Though I think 10 is a real possibility
Bills (7-9) Offense will shine, defense will not.
Dolphins (4-12)Trent Green just isn't what he used to be.

AFC South
Colts (11-5) Offseason losses keep me from giving them more.
Jaguars (9-7) 10 with luck.
Texans (6-10) Offseason was a big side-step. I would put them down for 7 if Glenn Earl was healthy. Mario Williams gets 8 sacks min.
Titans (4-12) Before I looked at the schedule, I figured 5, maybe 6 wins. Even if Madden doesn't strike Vince, that's all this team can hope for.

AFC North
Bengals (10-6) One more year of "good, but not quite there", mostly because of defense.
Ravens (10-6)* They'll rely on the running game and defense, but McNair brings an extra loss or 2.
Steelers (9-7) Late Week 17 win pushes them to 9 wins.
Browns (3-13)I have too many 4-12 teams, I need someone at just 3 wins. Amongstmy bottom-feeders, the Browns seem the most likely to do that(even though I initially had them at 5). I desperately hope I'm wrong though, because I really want to see Romeo Crennel succeed.

AFC West
Chargers (12-4) BLT gets a few less Rushing TDs, but more Receiving TDs as Rivers improves.
Broncos (10-6)* Bailey and Bly influenced several of my decisions. Travis Henry goes for 1300 yards and 8-10 TDs
Chiefs (8-8 ) I expect Croyle to start by Week 10, even though Huard will be doing okay.
Raiders (4-12) If Daunte can find himself, it may be as much as 8.

NFC East
Cowboys (10-6) I'm not sure they'll be an elite team, but the division crown isn't out of the picture.
Eagles (10-6)* If McNabb stays healthy all year, 11 is more like it.
Giants (9-7) Eli Manning and Brandon Jacobs are going to surprise a lot of people. 25 TDs/16 INTs for Eli, 1000 yards/14 TDs for Jacobs
Redskins (8-8 ) They aren't as bad as a lot of people think. 'Skins have a lot of weapons I like.

NFC South
Saints (11-5) I'm not sure how much I trust Bush, Colston, or that defense, but I certainly trust Brees and McAllister. An improved defense gives them an extra win.
Panthers (10-6)* Their safeties worry me, but the rest of the team looks good.
Falcons (7-9) Harrington willhave a career year(though that isn't saying much).
Buccaneers (6-10) I think they can pull a couple of surprise wins, but Gruden will be gone after the year is out.

NFC North
Bears (13-3) Grossman will be more consistant, though he won't have as many great games either. Benson 1200 yards 10 TDs
Packers (9-7) Brandon Jackson fills in for Ahman Green perfectly, 1000 yards and 5 TDs. The rest of the team is improved just enough for that 9th win.
Vikings (6-10) Chester Taylor just won't cut it and Peterson will step up too late.
Lions (5-11) I really think they can match Kitna's prediction, but 5 wins is more realistic.

NFC West
Seahawks (9-7) They aren't improving as well as the other teams in this division, but they are still the most balanced.
Rams (9-7) An offense like this wins games by itself.
49ers (8-8 ) Alex Smith throws 19-20 TDs, 13-15 INTs, the defense will be middle-of-the-road. And I like Mike Nolan.
Cardinals (6-10) Cards will be better than their record shows.

Part 1:

AFC East
Bills (6-10) Not that good last year and the same thing will happen this year.
Dolphins (8-8) Trent Green can't solve their problems but he will improve their record
Jets (9-7) The miracle of last year will not do it this year
Patriots (13-3) This is their year to lose, which they shouldn't.

AFC South
Colts (9-7)x The champs barely make the playoffs
Jaguars (12-4) David Garrard helps them to their first division in 8 years
Texans(4-12) Matt Schaub can't do anything to help this pitiful team.
Titans(5-11) Vince gets hurt in week 4 and they fall apart

AFC North
Bengals (13-3) Once again they play well, but lose to the Pats in the end, again.
Browns (5-11) Brady Quinn comes in halfway through but does nothing to help his new team out.
Ravens (9-7) Steve McNair retires after this season and the team falls apart in the end.
Steelers (6-10) Mike Tomlin and Big Ben can't do anything about this team that is not as good as some people think they are.

AFC West
Broncos (9-7) The Ponies still struggle with Jay Cutler but they get better as the season goes on.
Chargers (12-4) They win the division again but they don't make it to the big game again.
Chiefs (11-5)x Almost winners in the division, the Chiefs get their first playoff win in quite a while.
Raiders (3-13) This is just a bad team and they lose Jamarcus Russell to some other team.

NFC East
Cowboys (10-6)x They make it back to the playoffs and beat Seattle and make redemption for last year.
Eagles (12-4) They win the division again and Donovan has an MVP-caliber season.
Giants (8-8) Eli grows up and shows promise for the next season.
Redskins (4-12) They don't make any improvement with all the talent they have.

NFC South
Buccaneers (3-13) Jeff Garciawill wish hehad stayed in Philly after this season.
Falcons (6-10) Joey Harrington shows promise but it will be a year before they get to the playoffs again.
Panthers (7-9) Once again, they disappoint all the 'experts' and miss the playoffs.
Saints (12-4) The feel good story of last year stays on top this year.

NFC North
Bears (11-5) Rex tries his hardest to keep them out of the playoffs but they still make them.
Lions (2-14) Another WR and another year of failure.
Packers (10-6)x Brett makes it back to the playoffs and finally decides to call it quits.
Vikings (4-12) They are still feeling the effects of letting Daunte and Randy go.

NFC West
49ers (8-8) The new Carolina Panthers disappoint just like the original that they mimic.
Cardinals (9-7) Get close but are not good enough to make it to the playoffs.
Rams (7-9) Bulger has a great year but their record is what people will remember.
Seahawks (9-7) The rematch with the Seahawks ends up differently but Hasselbeck and Alexander look ready to break out next year.

The amount of homer picks here surprises me :shock:detroitpistons0

I agree going with pittsburgh may be a little much, but last time i did one of these they won the superbowl.

Bears 3-13
Specter02147

You've got to be kidding me. Grossman is not that bad. The defense alone would put them around .500.

Is it just me, or did I write way to much?detroitpistons0

No way. I prefer someone to write a lot, as opposed to writing nothing.

Nope my favorte teams are Pittsburgh and St.louis

If you can get it in bykickoff tommorow, I'll let you play. That goes for anyone who didn't submit their list. I'll have to take a point or two off for tardiness, of course, but at least you get it in.wallymartin

okay thanks. i made mine a couple hours ago, but when i read by kickoff for the indy-no game, i deleted them *cries for three hours*. ill repost them

AFC EAST
New England Patriots 15-1 Wide Recievers were their weak point last year, now its a strength.
New York Jets 9-7 Won't make last years jump, but still playoff contender.
Miami Dolphins 7-9 Trent Green will make them look a little better.
Buffalo Bills 5-11 Too many key players lost.

AFC NORTH
Baltimore Ravens 11-5 A tough second half and questionable offence will down them a bit.
Cincinnati Bengals 11-5 Won't cause the drama that they did last year, and will be a monster contender.
Pittsburgh Steelers 8-8 I see nothing that will make them a large contender.
Cleveland Browns 3-13 Oh, I forgot about the Browns.

AFC SOUTH
Indianapolis Colts 12-4 Super Bowl contenders should have a great season.
Jacksonville Jaguars 9-7 Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor are a great duo, but it won't be enough.
Houson Texans 7-9 They may actually pull off a bit of surprise.
Tennessee Titans 6-10 Vince Young can't be an entire team.

AFC WEST
San Diego Chargers 13-3 Have an extremely good roster.
Denver Broncos 10-6 Henry and Bly were great pick-ups.
Kansas City Chiefs 9-7 Terrible offensive line takes them out of the playoffs.
Oakland Raiders 3-13 Poor Culpepper.

NFC EAST
Philadelpia Eagles 12-4 Will be a monster season for the Eagles.
Dallas Cowboys 10-6 With Romo in rhythm, this will be a fun team to watch.
New York Giants 6-10 Replacing Barber will be tough, and their collapse last year raises questions.
Washington Redskins 5-11 Nothing interesting here.

NFC NORTH
Chicago Bears 10-6 Will take a small step back after losing the Super Bowl.
Green Bay Packers 9-7 Could take the division from Chicago if lucky.
Detroit Lions 5-11 At least they play Oakland first.
Minesota Vikings 3-13 Questionable Quarterbacking and who he will pass it to.

NFC SOUTH
New Orleans Saints 12-4 Will be a contender for the Conference.
Carolina Panthers 9-7 My Super Bowl choice from last year.... not this time.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 6-10 Plummer made a great choice in retirement, not that it matters.
Atlanta Falcons 5-11 Nothing going good for them.

NFC WEST
San Francisco 49ers 10-6 Gotta have one dark horse pick.
Seattle Seahawks 10-6 Will step forward this year.
St. Louis Rams 9-7 Would take the division if their defence was better.
Arizona Cardinals 7-9 Not to bad for finishing last in the division.
