Who do you think will win the superbowl this season? Pre season is just around the corner with the games starting this weekend for most teams. Who do you think will be league MVP? Will Favre make through the season? Will Ricky Willaims be the leading rusher? Can the Buccaneers repeat their feat of last season?

I'm going for a Philadelphia Vs Miami Superbowl.

How about you?



p.s. watch this thread die..

I think that Chelsea will have to maybe spend a season or two before they really challenge. But you never know.

MIAMI over ATLANTA in the Superbowl.

league mvp will be mike vick, rookie of the year will be philly's jerome mcdougal, ricky will indeed be the leading rusher again, the rams will be 'back,' but they exit early in the playoffs, tomlinson will have another great year, clinton portis and priest holmes will be down from last seasons stats. the raiders will be horrible, both afc wildcards will go to teams in the east, the browns will win their division, andre johnson will out perform charlie rodgers, the texans will be worst than last year, and tampa bay will have difficulties despite maintaining the leagues premiere defense.

well, at least this is the information miss cleo has given me.

Chicago Bears with new mascot "Staley" will take it all...

I just can't concieve of even thinking anything else.. Yes a pathetic diehard fan since I was a kid and my dad took me to Soldier field for every home game.. Wouldn't have it any other way...

Fuck, I missed the game tonight. Pre-season so it dosent mean a thing. High-lights looked good.

A vastly improved defence on paper. Us Pat fans should have an entertaining season. Go Patriots.

I think the Pats have a decent shot but they play in the toughest division in football, and they will stil have problems on the D line and with the running game with only Smith in the backfield. They destroyed the Giants last night, Colvin playing really well. but like D I said its only a pre season game. I just like the way that the Giants look like crap, makes it easier for Philly.

As for the Chiefs, i think htye will be better than last year, but not enough to get to the big game. And beware, Shawn Barber has a dodgy knee and wont be playing with the best secondary in football anymore.

Dallas aint going to get near sniffing difference of the big game. Not when they have to play both Philly and the G-men twice, thats an intant four losses there. Plus with no QB a dodgy running game and a host of other problems i predict another 5-11 season for the Cowgirls. They may just beat the redskins.

I'd like to think the Broncos have a shot, but I don't see it happening this year. We finally got rid of Griesey, so that's a start. Takes alot to do something like Superbowl with a new QB, so I don't see it happening. I don't really care who wins, I'm just ready to watch. There should be less time before the end of Hockey and the begining of Football.

Well the Lions were boring to watch, as usual, but beat the Steelers pretty soundly. Preseason is pretty useless as a guideline anyways, because the Lions have gone from undefeated preseasons into losing streaks at the opening of the season and vice versa.

The Lions had a crowd of 27, 000 attend an open practice and sold out the first pre-season game, so the fans are excited anyways. But then again, everyone is always excited at the start of the season, we are gluttons for punishment here.

i think that both Denver and Detroit will have average seasons.

Denver will have to draft well next year because they are getting kinda long in the tooth, with Rod Smith and Shannon Sharpe nearing retirement age. There D was great against the run last year (although that might change now that defensive tackle Chester McGlocton is in new York with the Jets), not so great against the pass so they need to get themselves some shutdown corners and safeties to help Deltha Oneal out. Plummer will be better off there, although it will take him time to get used to that west coast offence used by Shannahan.

In Detroit they should be feeling good now that thye have the 'Mooch'. Plus there got themselves some good draft picks in Johnson and Bailly. Their recieving core should be one of the fastest around with Hakim healthy again. Harrington needs to have a better year and expand on the flashes of potential he showed last time around.

Pre season is well under way now with a plethora of team playing last night. Of course, these games are only important for the young players, but you never know, you might see some gems out there. and you can get an idea of how those draftees might perform.

Let's face it: Detroit will not be a .500 team this year. They simply flat out suck, still. I think they are, at best, going to be 6-10 this year. You have to realize, to win half of their games they need to more or less score as many points as their opponents do over the course of the season. Only ONE team gave up more points than them last year (Bengals) and they were a mere seventh in points scored. It will take a lot more than they have to fix both of those problems and even consider contending in just one offseason.

As tough as the AFC East is, if the Patriots truly did improve their defense with all these pickups then I doubt teams will have the huge advantage of running the ball at will against them all year. And Bledsoe is cursed against our coaching staff, they know him better than he knows himself.

i think that the Bills will be much more competitive this year with the upgrades they made on D. Spikes was a huge acquisition. Definately going to be the toughest division this year. Miami are going to be there or there again, and the Jets, well you can never write them off, Herm Edwards seems to perform miracles with that team.

OH yeah Philly are going to hammer the Pats this year!
