Dry offseason. I'm bored as hell.

You're going to get drilled for making this thread but I agree with you on it. I'm bored and love doing predictions. Also, being a long-time Jet fan from Wisconsin I naturally agree with your Super-Bowl prediction haha.
LOL wishful thinking but I'm all for it. Hope it plays out to that same end result when the season is over.
The NFC West is a disaster, the Cardinals have had an awful offseason and the 49ers have an easy strength of schedule this year. I'm very impressed with their defense and I think they're on the upswing.
I honestly thought they'd be sneaking into the playoffs last year. This time around I still think they'll make it but not by sneaking in. They to me are hands down the top team in the division and in their games against Arizona last year they pretty much showed it. I agree here too...I feel Miami will be a good team but not like New England. As of today I feel they could MAYBE be better than the Pats but with so many draft choices there is no doubt to me that the Pats will be one of the top teams yet again next year.
My Turn AFC 1. Colts 2. Steelers 3. Chargers 4. Jets 5. Patriots 6. Texans NFC 1. Packers 2. Saints 3. 49ers 4. Cowboys 5. Vikings 6. Falcons Wildcard Texans def. Chargers Jets def. Patriots Falcons def. 49ers Vikings def. Cowboys Divisional Colts def. Texans Steelers def. Jets (still a pessimistic guy, tho I KNOW we could win) Packers def. Falcons Saints def. Vikings Championships Steelers def. Colts Packers def. Saints Superbowl Packers 27 Steelers 25.5
Not worried. D'Brick is officially elite. The way he consistently neutralized Dwight Freeney's spin move is one of the more impressive things I've seen from a lineman in a while.
I don't know why you discredit the Dolphins. Is it you think they are that bad, or that Patriots are that good? Patriots have done nothing in the past two years that would make me believe they are getting the least bit better. The Dolphins at least are a young improving team, that I can see winning more games then they did last year, which I definitely can not say about the Patriots. IMO the likelihood of the Patriots winning 7 games is greater then them winning 11. On another note, the OP's predictions are not too terrible far fetched, although you'll have to explain how the Jets would end up with a better record then the Colts. The Colts schedule: Home: Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, Kansas City Chiefs, San Diego Chargers, Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants Away: Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins How would we win more games then them? I can not imagine more then three or four losses from the Colts next year? Do you really think we are a 14-2 or 13-3 type team? I think you may be a little biased. I think an 11-5 season and a three seed would be a more solid estimate.
The Wes Welker injury factor is important. Brady was not in sync without Welker last year and their running game is not a strength. The Dolphins' receivers are worse with or without Welker but they have two very good backs. The Pats and Dolphins defensive needs are similar. Without Welker, I'll say the Dolphins are a bigger threat than the Patriots but I'll wait until after the draft to make any predictions.
