FanHouse 2008 NFL Predictions: A Patriots-Cowboys Super Bowl?

Text Size A A A

The bloggers here at the NFL portion of FanHouse recently huddled up in a basement, put our heads together and came up with our predictions for the 2008 NFL season. Eleven of us voted and below is the mathematics of it all.

We don't just have our Super Bowl predictions [go after the jump to see those picks], but the entire NFL. We picked each division how we saw fit and below is how the voting went, along with the links to our writers' previews of each team. The number in parenthesis denotes how many first-place votes that team received.

*- denotes our Wild Card picks:

AFC EASTNFC EAST
1 New England Patriots (11) 1 Dallas Cowboys (8)
2 New York Jets* 2 New York Giants*
3 Buffalo Bills 3 Philadelphia Eagles (2)
4 Miami Dolphins 4 Washington Redskins (1)
AFC SOUTH NFC SOUTH
1 Indianapolis Colts (7) 1 New Orleans Saints (7)
2 Jacksonville Jaguars* (4) 2 Carolina Panthers (2)
3 Houston Texans 3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2)
4 Tennessee Titans 4 Atlanta Falcons
AFC NORTH NFC NORTH
1 Pittsburgh Steelers (8) 1 Minnesota Vikings (6)
2 Cleveland Browns (2) 2 Green Bay Packers* (4)
3 Cincinnati Bengals (1) 3 Detroit Lions (1)
4 Baltimore Ravens 4 Chicago Bears
AFC WEST NFC WEST
1 San Diego Chargers (11) 1 Seattle Seahawks (6)
2 Denver Broncos 2 Arizona Cardinals (3)
3 Oakland Raiders 3 St. Louis Rams (2)
4 Kansas City Chiefs 4 San Francisco 49ers

Here are the voters of this poll, and their individual picks for the Super Bowl:

Adam Gretz: Colts over Vikings
Bruce Ciskie: Chargers over Packers
JJ Cooper: Patriots over Cowboys
Matt Moore: Patriots over Cowboys
Matt Snyder: Chargers over Cowboys
Michael David Smith: Colts over Cowboys
Ryan Wilson: Eagles over Jaguars
Sportz Assassin: Patriots over Cowboys
Stephanie Stradley: Patriots over Cowboys
Tom Mantzouranis: Colts over Saints
Will Brinson: Panthers over Chargers

Judging by our Super Bowl picks, it seems as if we are leaning toward a Cowboys-Patriots Super Bowl. The "Team of the 90s" against the "Team of the 00s". Arguably the two most hated teams in the NFL doing battle in Tampa next February.
