NFC -I'm going with the Panthers.  The D is going to be tough and if the offense stays healthy, look out.\n\nAFC - The Colts.  This year they won't blow it in the AFC Championship game.  (However - they will lose the Superbowl to the Panthers)

Arizona Cardinals \nCleveland Browns\nDetroit Lions* \nHouston Texans \nJacksonville Jaguars \nNew Orleans Saints

No, they are going to be in a dog fight in the NFC East. It's going to be hard for them to make it to the superbowl this coming year.

Hey John S, BALTIMORE IS IN THE AFC!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nI'd have to say Dallas, New Orleans, Chicago and THAT'S IT.  I'd say The Panthers, but they lost to my lowly Redskins, so those are the only three teams in the NFC that deserve mention.  Period!  I suppose I can put a banged up Seattle team in there for keeping things together with their two stars hurt.  There, so there you go, the top 4.

GO SEAHAWKS!!!\n\nLove that team man. I hope they tear apart Green Bay.

Pittsburgh, they have a good solid nucleus that is going to stick together. San Fran is so far out of contention it will be a long time before they are even in the playoffs again and Dallas needs to get a top QB before they will compete for a title.

Any one can win it this year, i see either the Colts, Patriots, Chargers and Bears as the favorites, but it really is a tossup this year

I think it'll be my Dallas Cowboys. We had a disappointing season last year. Bill Parcells is a brillant coach and will help carry us into the playoffs. I say their record will be 9-7 or 10-6. They'll make it to the playoffs and lose in the first or second round.

Hell no!  Patriots will win AFC East, AFC, and Superbowl.  There team is stacked this year.  Culpepper is mediocre at best in this stage of his career. Dolphins will, however, make the playoffs as a wild card.

It's always tough to go back to the Super Bowl after losing in it the previous year, if you discount the Bills. The loss of Hutchinson is huge, you can't discount the fact that you lost an all star guard who opened up holes for Alexander. I think Carolina is gunning for the Seahawks this year, and you can't forget the AFC has a lot of really good teams.\n\nMy prediction is that the Seahawks make it to the championship game then get sent home by the Panthers.

Denver.....they won last year and no other team in the conferance has gotten much better this offseason.....Denver's stiffest competition will come from the Chiefs.....

This coming from a die hard Bears fan....\n\nThe Pats will beat the Colts and the Bears this year.\n\nouch...i hope I'm wrong, but, they put a beating down on the Vikings on Monday night, and i think they feel a bit cheated not being a hyped team this year.
