Season Predictions Thread (With Steeler Playoff Poll)

[RuthlessBurgher]

The Ruthless Forecast for 2010:

Surprise AFC Team (Good): Oakland wins the AFC West on the basis of a tiebreaker.
Surprise NFC Team (Good): Detroit gets to .500 for the first time in a decade.
Surprise AFC Team (Bad): Three way tie...New England, San Diego, and the Jets all miss the playoffs
Surprise NFC Team (Bad): Dallas had their sights on making it to the Super Bowl this season ever since North Texas was awarded SBXLV, but they miss the playoffs entirely.

I see the Steelers and Ravens both being 10-6 and tiebreakers will decide who wins the Divsion and who is the wildcard. The game Ben is suspended for could likely give the Ravens the tiebreaker.

I agree that the Bumgals are way overrated.

For now, I'm going to withhold on calling Ruthless an idiot who can't predict when his own birthday will happen next year.

Why? Because his overall league record numbers actually add up to 256 winners, and 256 losers.

GO STEELERS! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Looks like we can all agree that Pittsburgh wins the SB! Right?

[Discipline of Steel]

AFC North

Steelers 12-4: Pittsburgh uses all four QBs in an up and down season with mostly ups. But its their potent rushing attack (2nd NFL) and injury -free, turnover producing (1st NFL) D that lead them to the promised land of the playoffs.

Ravens 10-6: Baltimore gets off to a slow start but roars back with a surprisingly balanced offense. Its their D that losses them a few contests by giving up big plays late in the game.

Bengals 10-6: Cincinnatti's defense is for real and the two prima-donna WRs actually make for a respectable passing game. Its their lack of a running game towards the end of the year that slows these cats.

Browns 6-10: The Browns made a run toward the end of last year but lose all their continuety and momentum by changing their QBs around. They start off slowly and again make a run toward the end of the year but its not enough to save Mangini's job this time.
