Giants or Eagles depending on whether the Giants reciever corps can step up and whether all those injuries the Eagles are suffering in camp affect them at all, I doubt it but still it's a tossup between those two imo.
As for the AFC, it's a long shot but I call the Ravens. >_>
Well, so far, you're all wrong.
The Patriots or Steelers will win the Superbowl.. and they will be beating the Washington Redskins.
Philadelphia versus Pittsburgh. Philly gets number one.dodgerblue13
Thats a dream of mine. I wish for Philly every year, but it never happens. :(
Yeah. We're wrong and you have the Redskins in the Super Bowl. They'll finish last in the NFC East undoubtedly.Well, so far, you're all wrong.

Chargers or the Pats, to early to say which one for sure.
NFC's more of a toss-up. I'd say Seahawks, Cardinals, Bears, Falcons, Panthers, Saints, Giants, and Eagles all have a shot at this point.

Seahawks and Cardinals play in a weak division, I think either one has a good chance at making the playoffs. As for how deep they can go, Arizona wentto the big game last year, there aren't many reasons they can't repeat, although there are some. I'd say they're going to face tougher defenses in this year's posteseason, and their running game hasn't exaclty been stellar. Seahawks had an off year. They had a ton of injuries holding them back. They've made some big additions this offseason on both sides of the ball including Julius Jones and T.J. Houshmandzadeh and if Matt Hasselbeck can return to prime form they have the potential to make a deep playoff run like the Cards did last year.
The Bears added Jay Cutler to an offense that already sports the breakout running back of last year's class, one of the NFL's fastest rising tight ends, a very solid offensive line, and a defense that still has a few former pro bowlers left on it. As for the knocks against them, as far as receivers go I don't see it being a big problem. Cutler's biggest target last year was a rookie who had an amazing year, the quaterback makes the receivers, not the other way around. He's playing with a former teamate in Earl Bennett who is benefitting greatly from his addition, Devin Hester has been looking more and more like a real starting receiver and should also benefit from a quarterback who can make the long throws that make him so dangerous, not to mention that other receivers have been stepping up to the plate so far in the off-season. I highly doubt the receivers are going to be as much of a problem as everyone thinks they are. And the defense, we haven't exactly been standing still. We have a starting linebacking corps of Lance Briggs, Brian Urlacher, and Pisa Tinoisamoa, not exaclty lightweights. Our D-line is going into the season rested and ready for the most part,if one or more of the following, Tommie Harris, Mark Anderson, Adawale Ogunleye, or Alex Brown can make a return to prime form our d should be much improved. One of the biggest problems we've had is pressure from the front four, and we've been working on that all offseason. Remember, we were still one of the best units against the run in the NFL last season, and many players on the team right now made a Superbowl run two years ago WITH an underperforming offense. If we can just shore up our pass defense we'll most definitely be contenders for the Superbowl.
Laslty, I said they have a shot, I never said they were shoe-ins. There are a lot of people in the AFC that I think have a good chance too, I just think the Chargers and Pats have the best chance. There's no team in the NFC I think has as good a shot, but there are teams I think look good enough to go that far RIGHT NOW. Everything changes once the season starts, and with teams like the Dolphins and Falcons making such dramatic turnarounds in previous seasons there's no discounting most teams for making the big game, especially not teams that are only a couple of seasons removed from deep playoff runs.
I hope the Vikings take it this year.
We gotta win one.

And not out of pity either, because that isn't truly winning.
I hope we beat every team that comes against us and take it all the way to the championship. We were so close with that one season 8 years ago when the Falcons sniped us.

Yes Jay Cutler really made Denver's recievers because last time I saw Cutler made Brandon Marshall do all his great things and Eddie really did great on his own.(remember the Jets and Browns game?) If Jay Cutler is so good where was he in the last 3 games? Surely He couldn't beat the Bills? THE BILLS? Man all he really needed to do was get the ball to Stokely in that last throw. Listen you can call me a hater but the NFLN bashed Cutler hard during the season only to come out and say he is a rising star? Sorry but I wouln't call A 17-20 QB who bombed the last three games of the season a rising star. Also please don't tell me his TD to INT ratio cause in the end it all comes down to who got the W.
Other then that I think Baltimore can win the superbowl. Them or the Colts.
I'd love for the Vikings to win one since my Dad has been a fan his entire life and watches the Vikings every single time they play.
The only two teams he cares about are the Minnesota Twins and the Minnesota Vikings. He doesn't watch basketball or hockey or much anything else.
He's had a lifetime loyalty and I'd love to see the Vikings dominate at least once just for my dad.
