2010 NFL Season Predictions

We are four days away from the opening kickoff of the 2010 NFL season when the New Orleans Saints take on the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night football. This time of the year is filled with optimism because most fans (who aren't really that objective) have their team making the playoffs if not the Super Bowl. With that said, I'm here to burst many teams bubbles. You may be surprised who I have making the Super Bowl and by who I have missing the playoffs. That is the beauty of the NFL, during any given season any team can make a run at the Lombardi Trophy. In this post, I will be predicting the records of all 32 teams, the division winners, the wild card teams, playoff games and the Super Bowl. I will also be predicting some individual awards like MVP, Offensive player of the year, Defensive player of the year, Coach of the year, Offensive rookie of the year and Defensive rookie of the year. *Drum roll please...*
