Mook vs NFL predictions

Sitting here watching week 2 of the nfl and noticed i never posted my predictions for the season, only college and fantasy... so here goes


NFL ranks
1.     Colts
2.     Saints
3.     GB
4.     Minn
5.     Balt

i would like to put the Saints #1, but it's hard for teams to repeat... kind of. Still, not many giving the Saints respect, like last year was a fluke. They thought that all season, even though they started 13-0 and won the Super Bowl. Brees leads a talented offense.
Colts c/should have had an undefeated regular season, they will be motivated and reloaded. SuperBowl rematch? it doesn't seem likely, but let's put it in there
The Packers, not the Vikings are the team to beat in the NFC Central, but both are legitimate contenders. The Pack have Rodgers on O and Hawk on D...hard not to like. The Vikes got Favre back- who they need- but the key are the lines, one of the best on both sides
Meanwhile, i'm really high on Flacco, with a bunch of new receivers. And though they seem old, the Ravens D is still one of the tops in the league


6.     NYJ
7.     NE
8.     Pit
9.     SF
10. Mia

The AFC East is loaded. It's not likely all 3 teams will make the playoffs, but i like all of them. An emerging Henne now having Brandon Marshall should lead to a well-balanced offense to go with a solid D. The Pats don't have a running game and are not the same team that won all those superbowls, but they still have to be respected.
OF course the team everyone is talking about is the Jets. Great Defense led by Revis. But have they won enough to do all this talking?
The 49ers are the NFC version of the Jets. Great defense, Great Coach (though oppositte attitude), not-so-good QB... and not much to show in the playoffs recently. Give them a couple more years...
And the Steelers? Well some are writing them off, but they continually compete and they only need Big Ben at the end to win.


11. SD
12. Zona
13. Dallas
14. Carolina
15. TN
16. NYG
17. Chicago
18. Houston
19. Denver
20. Jacksonville
21. Cincy

A bunch of bounce-back team potential. Titans & Giants just seem very middle-of-the-pack. Good, not great. 

22. De-troit

i'm putting them all by themselves. They have a ton of young talent i really like, including the 2 picks - Suh & Best - from this year. They won't do much this year, but there is something to look forward to Lion's fans.

23. Phi
24. Atl
25. Was

26. Sea

The team looks horrible, but Pete Carrol should get a couple wins out of them.
27. KC
28. Oak
29. StL

30. TB
31. Buf
32. Clev

It's just not a good year to be a Cleveland fan.
