Notes:
- I really think, based on their schedule, the 49'ers have a legit shot at the #1 seed. They really have maybe 4 challenging games. But I could see them at 11-5, and based on conference record, that could take the #1 seed. I'm taking a major leap of faith in thinking they can get steady QB play.
- Yes, I'm a homer in giving the NFL MVP to Tony Romo. But I really think our passing game is going to be deadly. Couple that with a winning record, and I think Romo gets the award.
- Yes, I'm a homer in giving the Offensive R.O.Y. to Dez Bryant. I think he has an outside shot of getting it based on a combination of punt returns, receptions, and coverage. Montario Hardesty would be my sleeper pick for the award.
- I think Detroit starts to right the ship, of sorts, and gets close to 7 wins this year.
- I think the Eagles and Redskins both end up with about 7-8 wins each.
- I think it'll be fun watching the Bengals take a step back from last year. Fuck Terrell Owens.
- The Raiders. Don't be suprised if they end up 2nd in that division.
- I think the dream is over in New Orleans. They'll be decent this year, but will rarely resemble the dominant juggernaut they were in 2009.
