Ramblings from Martin, Sports Football, NFL 4 Comments
It is football season again. By the time this article is published, the first week of the regular season will already be on the books. The following is my prediction of what the results of this season will be. In 17 weeks we will see just how right or wrong I am, at least as far as the playoffs go.
| Division | 2012 | 2013 Prediction |
| AFC East | New England | New England |
| AFC North | Baltimore | Cincinnati |
| AFC South | Houston | Houston |
| AFC West | Denver | Denver |
| AFC Wild Card | Indianapolis | Indianapolis |
| AFC Wild Card | Cincinnati | Pittsburgh |
| NFC East | Washington | New York |
| NFC North | Green Bay | Green Bay |
| NFC South | Atlanta | Atlanta |
| NFC West | San Francisco | Seattle |
| NFC Wild Card | Seattle | San Francisco |
| NFC Wild Card | Minnesota | Minnesota |
- Exiting Playoffs: Baltimore, Washington – Baltimore defense is just too weak, RGIII will get hurt.
- Joining Playoffs: New York Giants, Pittsburgh – both purely on defense
- San Francisco moves from division champion to wild card – Keapernick will get hurt
- Cincinnati and Seattle move from wild card to division champion – Overwhelming talent
- All four divisional playoff games will be blowouts (more than 14 point victories)
Super Bowl: Atlanta vs Houston
Super Bowl Champion: Atlanta Falcons

I think you only picked Indianapolis to go into New England and beat them to get me to comment. No other explanation for such an outlandish pick.
Well played, sir. Well played.

I half apologize for my last comment. When I had gotten the email it said was Kosmo. WordPress/Feedburner has a buggy RSS feed that way.
I half don’t apologize, because I still think it’s kind of a stretch to see Indy beat the Patriots in Foxborough.

Based on the age and telent depth, I stand by my prediction. If NE can keep all of their stars healthy at the end of the year, they will prove me wrong. Assuming Pittsburgh loses tonight, only the Giants and Steelers have me worried. In some ways the NFC East is becoming the “someone has to win division, with a possible losing record playoff birth.

Yeah, they don’t have a lot of depth and I’ve never seen a football team stay healthy all year. I don’t see the age issue though, unless you mean too young. Most of the young guys are at those depth positions.
I don’t think they need all the stars healthy at the end. I think the defense is going to be a good deal better than most expect.
I think the only team that is likely to be better is Denver. I don’t mind Pittsburgh as a 6th seed. They are injured and are coming off a down year (for them) last year, but I never count out the franchise.
