I want the Jets to be in the playoffs, but after how bad the offense has been, I’ll believe it when I see it. For now, I have them out.

NFC East: 1) NYG: 10-6; 2) PHI: 9-7; 3) WAS: 7-9; 4) DAL: 6-10

NFC North: 1) CHI: 12-4; 2) GB: 12-4; 3) DET: 8-8; 4) MIN: 4-12

NFC West: 1) SF: 10-6; 2) SEA: 8-8; 3) ARI: 6-10; 4) STL: 4-12

Playoff Seeds: 1) CHI; 2) SF; 3) NYG; 4) CAR; 5) GB; 6) PHI

The Eagles sneak in over the Falcons for that 6 spot, by defeating Atlanta in their regular season matchup. I think a lot of big teams will falter this season and not make the playoffs: NYJ, PIT, SD, DET, ATL, NO. There are 12 great teams that will be competing for the Super Bowl, and January should be incredibly exciting. The next page will contain my playoff predictions. I’m getting chills as I’m typing. Football is back, baby.

2012 SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS: BALTIMORE RAVENS

I think that the Baltimore Ravens will win the 2012 Super Bowl. I have had this pick in mind ever since that AFC Championship Game when the Ravens came so close to beating the Patriots. Flacco will be great, but the injury to Terrell Suggs scares me; I think he will return by the playoffs. I think that this team has one more brilliant run left in them before the key pieces on this defense retire, and I think they put it all together this year, to send off Ray Lewis and Ed Reed with one final victory.
