the nfl 11-12 prediction thread

[Care]

It never pays to be 100% certain on anything when talking about NFL football, but the 49ers definitely have the easiest schedule of any contender in the league. I could see them finishing the season 6-1 considering their schedule. I do think that NFC west teams arent as bad as everyone makes them out to be, but the niners are superior and will win the majority of their games going forward. BTW the 49ers are ranked #7 in scoring offense this season so far, an incredible statistic to anyone who has followed the team in recent years considering that pretty much all the players are the same.

On another note, despite losing in SF this last week the Giants look like a very solid team. If manning keeps playing at a high level and their skill position players can get healthy for the playoffs they could be a force.

GB looking really strong... who will stop them? Im hoping they lose a few games and the niners win out so we can have home field advantage if its niners/packers in the NFC championship.

I reckon the away game @ the Giants will be the only game that could cause them concern. Peyton must be helping Eli more than Painter while his neck is bollixed cos he's playing great. If the away game @ Detroit was on Thanksgiving night, it might be pretty tough but since its a midday start i think they'll have no problems.


Looking forward to Ravens-Bengals game, should be hard hitting close game and just glad that its a home tie with form the Bengals are showing. Another tough game 4 days later when the Niners show up so hope the team is hurting after Sundays turnover farce and get back on track with a convincing win.

I don't even have to look to know I'm the only one that picked KC over the Patriots.

I always LOL whenever someone says something to the effect of what ali just said - "probably coming down to the Seattle VS St Louis game." never in my mind would I have cared about the Seahawks against the Rams, but that is the magic of this thread

I agree with Suburu (our UK ambassador in this NFL thread) about the Bengals and the Ravens being the game of the week, for me. since Pittsburgh has a bye week, I think I will be focusing all of my latent energy on that one Suburu, you've been a top addition to this years S + G forum

I hope I finish first this week! I'm sure many of you are just flabbergasted as to why someone like yours truly finished dead last, last week!

All I can say if the new england patriots or the new york giants don't get in the superbowl them I'm just not watching.

 

[GenericMind]

It's funny because I almost picked Denver, not because I thought they'd beat the Jets but because the Jets (were) leading the Bill's division.

 

[alasdairm]

or you know, that one.

yep... i changed my pick from denver to ny

[ChickenScratch]

i've been saying it all season. the jets suck. i have no idea why i picked them.

i guess i'm just still not sold on this whole tebow college style offense.
