My picks:
1. Despite the Titans great start, I really think the Dolphins are the biggest surprise after going 1-15 last year.
2. I have to say San Diego since they play in such a bad division. Jacksonville is in a division with the Titans and Colts so they had a tougher schedule.
3. Has to be Matt Ryan. Chris Johnson and Joe Flaco are contenders but Ryan literally turned the Falcons around from a mess last season.
4. If the Vikings make a play-off run with Adrian Peterson leading the way, I think he should get it. If not, I think it should easily be Kurt Warner.
5. Giants -- unfortunately my Vikes have to play them and the Giants aren't known for resting starters in meaningless games for them.
6. The New York Jets...they lost to Oakland...c'mon.
7. Eli Manning
8. New York Giants
9. Tennessee Titans
10. I think the NFL has gone too far with cracking down on player celebrations. It's supposed to be entertainment and they're just not giving players any leeway. I definitely think there should be penalties for taunting, but celebration penalties are just ridiculous.

1. Biggest surprise this year?  Atlanta Falcons

2. Bigger disappointment: Jacksonville or San Diego?  San Diego

3. Rookie of the year?  WAY too hard to pick this year!

4. League MVP?  Two weeks ago it was Kurt Warner.  Now it's close between a few.

5. Team you would least like your favorite team to be facing?  Since my team is the 49ers I'll just answer with the team no one wants to face right now: NY Giants.

6. Most overrated team?  Tie: Dallas Cowboys and all AFC East teams

7. Most underrated player?  Thomas Jones, Jets

8. Super Bowl pick for NFC?  NY Giants

9. Super Bowl pick for AFC?  Pittsburgh Steelers

10. Any rants?  I have been impressed with more bold coaching decisions occurring this year, but there are still way too many sissy coaching decisions as a whole.

1. I agree with the Titans going undefeated for so long.

2. San Diego.

3. Hightower.

4. Warner's a good pick.

5. my Packers vs Giants.

6. Cowboys.

7. Marion Barber.

8. Giants

9. I'll have to go with Titans.

10. McNabb!!!!!!

1. Biggest surprise this year?
Tom Brady out for the season! 

2. Bigger disappointment: Jacksonville or San Diego?
San Diego, and that has alot to do with LT.

3. Rookie of the year?
Joe Flacco.

4. League MVP?
Adrian Peterson.

5. Team you would least like your favorite team to be facing?
Giants.  The Steelers defense is amazing, but can it contain that machine?(I actually like the Raiders, but...ahem...Steelers are my second pick.  For the Raiders: Any team.)

6. Most overrated team?
Jets.  Like someone else said...I mean, I love Oakland, but they stink for the time being.  And the Jet's lost to them?  And then the Broncos by a landslide?  No.

7. Most underrated player?
Matt Forte.

8. Super Bowl pick for NFC?
New York Giants

9. Super Bowl pick for AFC?
Pittsburgh Steelers

10. Any rants?
Raiders coaching...*grumble*

Since RoY <> MVP, I would have to vote for Matt Forte who I believe is putting together the best all-around season for a rookie.

Except against the Vikings. 

1. Brett Favre playing for a different team! 

2. San Diego.

3. Brett Favre! 

4. That's a tough one. Brett Favre. Seriously, I know I"m bias, but 6 TD in one game? WOW!

5. I'm a Packer fan, but I want the Jets to win the super bowl this year. I want them to hit the packers in the Super Bowl. That would be SO epic!

6. Steelers.

7. Brett Favre or Reggie Bush.

8. Which one is which? 

9. Which one is which? 

For 8 and nine... Jets vs. Giants(forgot that they were in it)(if that's an option).

10. Don't ask rediculous question.

but the ravens wil have to go through the titans to get a chance at the superbowl and THAT is something i'd love to see is my titans taking on my ravens for the afc championship

1. Biggest surprise this year?

2. Bigger disappointment: Jacksonville or San Diego? (I picked these two since they were supposedly Super Bowl contenders and they won't even make the play-offs)

3. Rookie of the year?

4. League MVP?

5. Team you would least like your favorite team to be facing? (Also indicate your favorite team)
Jets-Titans=pwness

6. Most overrated team?
Jets
7. Most underrated player?
Tom Brady
8. Super Bowl pick for NFC?
Titans
9. Super Bowl pick for AFC?
Titans
10. Any rants?
Jets go EXTREMELY lucky

Boston Celtics for the AFC and Boston Bruins for the NFC. I have long awaited a Boston Tea Party for the Super Bowl.

1. Miami Dolphins are the biggest surprise--so far. After the playoffs it will be Payton manning holding up the superbowl trophey.

2. Bigger disappointment: San Diego-They had been good for a couple of seasons and had been rather consistent. Plus they just came off the afc championship game.

3. Rookie of the year- Matt Ryan

4. League MVP?- Payton manning. Without him the colts would have won about 2-4 games.

You might laugh but he always gets the job done when his team is in trouble.

Consider his 5td 0int in back to back victories against NE and AWAY vs pittsburg at a time when his team was in trouble. His multiple game saving plays, specificly (vikings and texans). Lastly his 3td and 0ints vs a stingy Baltimore d-fense. All without a legit running game and a horendous run defence.

5. Team you would least like your favorite team to be facing? Colts are my favorite. I would hate to play titans, vikings, and Giants. first too cause of our run-d and Giants b/c they are the best team in football.

6. Most overrated team?- Cardinals "Love Kurt Warner" But they havnt beaten anyone legit.

7. Most underrated player?- its a tie Phillip Rivers/Tony Romo Consider these stats compiled vs the other QB's recieveing MVP reconition. They Compare favorably!
               Passer rating       td       int   attempts
Rivers        102.0                26      10    379

Brees         95.9                 24      14    471

Warner       99.4                 24      11    472

Romo         103.2                21       8     300

8. Super Bowl pick for NFC?-Giants-He is a manning thus he is a jedi.

9. Super Bowl pick for AFC-Colts "does anyone want to play a Manning in the playoffs?"

10. Manning brothers last 2 years. 2 superbowl rings. You heard it here, after this year it will be 3!
Also Tony Romo is ver impressive! I did not compare manning with the other Qb's cause there not worthy! BTW I am in fact not bias nor are my favorite news stations! 

The Colts are hot right now--they're going for 6 straight wins and should get it versus a terrible Bengals team.

1. Biggest surprise this year?    Matt Cassell

2. Bigger disappointment: Jacksonville - I was hoping David Garrard would continue to shine.

3. Rookie of the year? Matt Ryan - Woo-hoo Boston College alum!

4. League MVP? Brett Favre and Kurt Warner - Woo-hoo for old guys!

5. Team you would least like your favorite team to be facing? (Also indicate your favorite team)

I really don't want my Patriots to play Ball State - they look unbeatable this year.

6. Most overrated team? USC, oops, I mean Indianapolis.

7. Most underrated player? Lavernius Coles

8. Super Bowl pick for NFC? Eagles - After the year that the Phillies and Penn State had, this must be Philadelphia's year.

9. Super Bowl pick for AFC? Patriots - I have to believe. 

10. Any rants? I hate the BCS. College football needs a playoff system.

Now is the time of year to see how our predictions turned out.

I was right about the Jaguars being a bigger disappointment than the Chargers.

Matt Cassell was still a big surprise, but unfortunately 12-4 (or was it 11-5?) is not enough for my Patriots to make the playoffs in the AFC. 

We'll have to wait on the MVP and Rookie awards.

I might still be right about the Eagles.

I feel that I was right about Indianapolis being overrated, even though they made the playoffs and my team didn't.
