Well, to quote the
great Jimmy Cannon, nobody asked us, but… Here are 2gensportsden’s picks for the upcoming NFL season.
Interesting that
when we started this whole thing, we wrote that we would disagree about “nearly everything.” Turns out that, for at
least the two of us weighing in here, we agree on way more than we disagree.
We’ll see in February how right we were, but for now, here’s how we’re calling
things:
NFC
North
BOJO: Packers
Reason: Jay Cutler,
Matt Stafford, and whoever ends up
taking the majority
of snaps in Minnesota will never surpass the A-Rod of football.
DAD: A-gree.
East
BOJO: Giants
Reason: I am a
homer/Giants fan.
DAD: Eagles
Reason: I love the
Giants as much as my dad did and my sons do (there’s 3 gens), but they’ve stunk
up the pre-season, despite the 5-0 record. Plus, it’s hard to
argue against Foles and McCoy.
South
BOJO: Saints
Reason: Carolina
and Atlanta both take a step back, and Tampa isn’t ready to take that step yet.
DAD: Agree here,
too. Only better coach/QB tandem than Payton/Brees would be Belichick/Brady.
West
BOJO: Seahawks
Reason: 49ers fall
apart this year, you heard it here first.
DAD: Love the
Seahawks. They’ve reinvented team defense.
AFC
North
BOJO: Bengals
Reason: I think Andy
Dalton steps up and shows he is at least as average as Joe Flacco, and is
capable of playoff wins.
DAD: Steelers
Reason:
Roethlisberger has become a sort of “way smarter than he looks” heir to
Bradshaw.
East
BOJO: Patriots
Reason: What else
is new.
DAD: Yup. Brady is
still Brady and they’ve invested picks and free agent money (see "Dollars for Darrelle") revamping the defense.
South
BOJO: Colts
Reason: Tennessee
might reel off a couple wins but this division is pretty weak.
DAD: Agree,
although you can only go so far on Luck.
West
BOJO: Broncos
Reason: Peyton will
find a way.
DAD: Agree here,
too. Bronco off season story is much
like the Pats. Knowing they have a superstar QB with limited time left, they
went out and bought a defense to round things out.
NFC CHAMP
BOJO: Seahawks
DAD: Absolutely.
Love this team.
AFC CHAMP
BOJO: Patriots
DAD: Reluctantly,
yes. Hate this team.
SUPER BOWL WINNER
BOJO: Seahawks
DAD: A big yes.
#1 NFC QB
BOJO: Aaron Rodgers
DAD: Agree.
#1 NFC RB
BOJO: Adrian
Peterson
DAD: Yup. Year
after year, you can’t top this guy.
#1 AFC QB
BOJO: Peyton
Manning
DAD: Tom Brady
#1 AFC RB
BOJO: LeSean McCoy
DAD: Agree.
NFL MVP
BOJO: Russell
Wilson
DAD: Yes, and I
hope we’re right. There’s everything to like about this guy.
