im going to throw out some things here and anyone can argue with me.
1) Kansas City will return to the playoffs and maybe a super bowl. They lose OT Roaf but that wont impact the running game much, not with the addition of Turley. They have improved a weak defense giving them now one of the better 2ndarys in the game.. with patrick surtain and ty law. Offensive rating of like 92
2) Miami will beat out New England in their division and move into a wild card. They now have a QB (regardless of whether u like culpepper or not).. they have the weapons at RB and WR.. and they have always had a solid defense. they will finish 10-6 and get themselves a spot in the playoffs
3) Jets will me laughed off the map.. they will finish horribly.. with Curtis Martin unlikely to run the ball.. they will struggle even more. this much should be a given
4) Carolina will run the table in the NFC.. they will finish better than pittsburgh.
5) Arizona will improve. duh. they will finish 9-7 and maybe catch a wild card in the NFC. they have one of the best offenses in the game now. if not this season, the following season will hold playoff hopes as long as they can improve on the defensive side of the ball.

turley's at like, 265 and likely would play as a blocking TE

Infrared loses at life..
How do you figure the bears can beat the Seahawks...Defense will probly be close..but the Bears offense cannot keep up with or beat the Hawks...
Week 4 - Hawks vs Bears
EDIT: O yeh OHS, I think you had a typo in #4 ... Carolina to Seahawks

yes i have lost at life. nice observation
seahawks suck. you act like theyre infallible. their defense is weak.. and if the bears can have one full season with rex on the field , the offense will be plenty good enough to win. besides we got 3 dominating rb's.. sorry you guys are going down on week 4, there will be way too much pressure on hasselbeck. he'll throw a bunch of pics, then go cry about it... and you wont be going to the superbowl again.. that ill bet on

Okay, I was looking for a reason to disregard everything you said about the NFL. This pretty much locks it up...
Green Bay...Much Improved....
What?
They're by far the worst team in a really weak division...

ive been following their training camp and they do look very improved.. their drafted WR Jennings out of Western Michigan looks like a guy who can come in right away and step up.. Driver is healthly.. Ahman Green.. Farve will still be solid..
the defense added 2 much needed run stoppers in Hawk and Hodge.. i think they will be much improved

Farve will STILL be solid?
Did you see him play last year? I live in wisconsin. He had by FAR the worst year of his career last year. He led the *NFL* in several categories that you really dont want to lead the NFL in. He still has no O-Line, one decent reciever, and a hodge-podge backfield.
Ahman Green had a few good years, but in the NFL it seems like RB's are good one year, then done the next. I think he's over the hill, and there is seriously nothing behind him. Samkon Gado?

last year was the first year that ive seen brett struggle.. and now he has 3 solid.. Donald Driver, Greg Jennings (he will prove to be a great reciever in the league), and Robert Fergusen.. and a fairly good TE in Bubba Franks.
they will win 7-8 games and i would consider that much improved

They can beat...
The Saints. The Bills The 49'ers Probably the Lions once, maybe twice. Hard to say how the new QB is gonna go over there. Viqueens once.
But they will NOT beat Chicago Eagles Rams Dolphins Cards Vikings twice Pats Seahawks Vikings
Yeah, so never mind. I give them 5-6.

The packers will not beat the dolphins. Do you have any idea how good the Dolphins are going to be this year?
The Cardinals wont be any slouch either. They dont have a defense to speak of but that offense is going to light things up. They're going for the "Put up 40 and pray" style of game, and htey have the personel to do it.
I was listening to the radio the other day, and they were doing call ins to see how many games the packers fans though they would win. The general consensus is 6-10. People were being ridiculed for thinking the packers would go 8-8, and I agree...

8-8 is realistic i think
as for miami, i still dont think they will be much better than .500
arizona, has great potential but they will still lose games, esp this season.. they need 1-2 years to develop.

Almost everyone who knows the NFL disagrees with you on Miami. Alot of people have Miami as a possible Super-Bowl contender...
They had a *stud* Running Back, a pro-bowl Quarterback, a decent receiving core, and a monster defense.
Oh, and one of the best new coaches in football...
