Super Bowl
Philadelphia over San Diego
That's right, we're picking Norv Turner and Andy Reid to each lead teams to the Super Bowl. Jeez, are we screwed.
Most jarring observations from the above:
- Miami and Atlanta both regress, with the Dolphins seeing a more significant drop due to a tougher schedule loaded with colder outdoor games.
- Denver dropping like a rock. Partly wishful thinking, but come on, Kyle Orton plus pouty crazypants Brandon Marshall can't offset a potentially promising running game
- Tampa Bay, Oakland and Cleveland will be really, really bad.
- Detroit's 2-14 will feel like 7-9
- Brett Favre is a douche
