It's become an annual right of passage around here -- football season rolls around, and we all take turns making ourselves look foolish with a set of predictions that invariably prove false. But that hasn't killed our pioneer spirit.So we all gazed into our crystal Lombardi Trophy replicas and came away with eight division winners, two conference champions, and of course, the Super Bowl XLIV victor (individual awards predictions can be found in a separate post). You'll be able to find everyone's predictions after the jump
A quick note: the writers making the picks are not organized alphabetically in any way, but rather by who turned picks in the earliest -- good news for fans of the hustling R.J. White, but bad for all you Shane Bacon loyalists. Anyway, without further adieu, on with the picks!

Looks like pretty good predictions. I don't know about the Redskins though. I don't see them beating out the Eagles, Giants, or even the Cowboys. Everybody else I could make a possible case for, even the Bengals, which is a stretch. Go Steelers!

You never know who will be in SuperBowl or divison champs/wildcard. I have a feeling this is going to be a surprising season for many teams. No one can predict what is going to happen. HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!

...well let me say ...this is my opinion ...
...STOP...Michael "the Monster" Vick is not Civilized...he is not even an animal...he is a MONSTER...in every sense of the word.
Shame on any fan that goes to that game...Any Fan that watches that game on TV...Cable...BOYCOTT!!!
Shame on the whole Eagles Organization and those involved in any way, shape or form, any backers, any wholesalers, any retailers, any Advertisers, any Commercials Running during the game etc etc etc ...ALL are Shameful and Pitiful Examples of Human Beings....Michael Vick is not civilized...no one should be standing up for a serial abuser...he is not far from injuring maiming...or killing a person...he is what he is...a serial abuser...he will in some sick way strike again and again...just like the many many dogs he has already admitted to killing and torturing...he is a MONSTER...And should be treated as such...This is not something you can be rehabilitated over...this was him...a monster through and through...
this is my opinion and what I see and feel about this whole travesty...
He does not belong on a professional team...making money to set up shop here...
He did not make "A" mistake he killed many dogs in many ways, over many years, these eight dogs were just a tip of the Michael Vick trashy Ice Berg, many dogs suffered from his hand this came from his mouth...
You can close your eyes , but I wont and my mouth , and fingers, and calls, and anything else I can do will just keep on spilling out...
...I personally rescue these dogs and take them away from spineless, cold , cruel and inhumane trash talking idiots like Michael Vick and the others that support him...
Boycott, protest, and picket...any and all ...owners of the Eagles, trainers, coaches, cheerleaders, mascots, fans that fly the logo, any team that allows Michael Vick on their fields to play, City Hall for the response to a second chance given to Vick,
His second chance was getting out of jail...He should be banned from ever playing a professional sport again...why put the money back in the hand of such a mentally disturbed, demented, cruel and animalistic psychopath again...so he can set up shop somewhere else ????????? He is a repeat offender...These acts were instilled in him...this is an addict...in every sense
of the word...He will act out again...he is a serial abuser and in more ways then one...no doubt...
As for all the explanations,,,from Lurie, McNabb, Reid and the coaches...B/S they should all be ashamed of themselves and question just how moral and humane they truly are....
BOYCOTT, PROTEST AND PICKET EVERYONE INVOLVED AND DO NOT FORGET THE PLAYERS...IF THEY AGREE TO PLAY ON THIS TEAM WITH SUCH A DEMENTED IDIOT ... INCLUDE THEM ALSO...
Absolutely NOT...no support here...
BOYCOTT, PROTEST AND PICKET ANY AND ALL FIELDS THAT THE EAGLES PLAY AT...
BOYCOTT, PROTEST AND PICKET THE NOVA CENTER, CITY HALL FOR SPEAKING OUT ...ABOUT SECOND CHANCES... AND ANY AND ALL COACHES, OWNERS, TRAINERS, MASCOT, CHEERLEADERS ETC...IF IT / THEY HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE EAGLES AND OR MICHAEL VICK...BOYCOTT, PROTEST AND PICKET...
The Fan Base needs to get out there and show that they do not agree with him being on the team and get him out of here...
HIS SECOND CHANCE WAS GETTING OUT OF JAIL...
HE SHOULD NEVER PLAY PROFESSIONAL BALL AGAIN....EVER!!!!!!
Everyone involved or backing this Michael Vick ...
There should not be any support for such a disgusting, cruel, psychotic piece of trash as this guy...
Stand up FANS...take your team back and say no to this...
There needs to be a rally and a damn big one...
Get a backbone and speak out against bringing The Michael Vick Trash to town...
DO NOT LET THIS ATTROSITY FALL BY THE WAY SIDE
...Just say no....

If you want to boycott the Eagles because of Vick, then remember, you must boycott the ENTIRE NFL. Don' t be a hypocrite. It's easy to boycott a team you don't care about, but boycotting the whole league would really get your point across, because while yes vick is an EAGLE, he is also an NFL player. take a stand wdw2000bw, have some guts.
