NFC South – 2010 NFL Season Preview

2009 Standings at Season’s End

  1. New Orleans Saints (13-3)
  2. Atlanta Falcons (9-7)
  3. Carolina Panthers (8-8)
  4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-13)

The NFC South is home to the Defending Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints, but don’t think that gives them any advantages heading into the 2010 season.  This division is fairly solid top to bottom, meaning that there aren’t any “gimme’s” on anybody’s schedule.  There are really only two contenders in this division, which isn’t nearly as potent as it was last season.  This is still the Saint’s division to lose, however, but whether anyone will step up to take it from them remains to be seen.

AFC North – 2010 NFL Season Preview

2009 Standings at Season’s End

  1. Cincinnati Bengals (10-6)
  2. Baltimore Ravens (9-7)
  3. Pittsburgh Steelers (9-7)
  4. Cleveland Browns (5-11)

Quick show of hands – without looking, who remembered that the Cincinnati Bengals won the AFC North in 2009?  I’m guessing I won’t see too many hands, because the Bengals had possibly one of the quietest runs to the division title last year.  While perennial stalwarts in the Ravens and Steelers put up good years, when push came to shove in 2009, they just couldn’t seem to beat the Bengals.  Most analysts are picking them to win it all again, but it’s 16 game season (well, 13 if you’re Big Ben) and anything can happen.

NFC North – 2010 NFL Season Preview

2009 Standings at Season’s End

  1. Minnesota Vikings (12-4)
  2. Green Bay Packers (11-5)
  3. Chicago Bears (7-9)
  4. Detroit Lions (2-14)

Our journey through each of the NFL’s divisions lands us in the frozen regions of the NFC North where the Minnesota Vikings saw resurgence with Brett Favre under center and the Lions had yet another woeful season.  This season kicks off with the usual hoopla surrounding Brett “I’m Unretired” Favre and some high hopes for the Packers led by one time Favre backup Aaron Rodgers.  The competition in this division is about as cold as a Lambeau Field bleacher in December, and quite frankly, there isn’t a whole lot to get excited about from this division – but somebody has to win it and we will find out who.

AFC East – 2010 NFL Season Preview

2009 Standings at Season’s End

  1. New England Patriots (10-6)
  2. New York Jets (9-7)
  3. Miami Dolphins (7-9)
  4. Buffalo Bills (6-10)

The AFC East is usually dominated by the Patriots, but 2009 saw both the Dolphins and the Jets give reigning champs a run for their money.  With the transactions made by the Jets and Dolphins this offseason, it looks like both teams are taking their chance at a division title very seriously.  The AFC East is now home to potentially the best team in the NFL, but it might not be who you think.

2010 MLB Playoff Race Update

I made my predictions for both the 2010 American League Playoff Race and the 2010 National League Playoff Race earlier in the month.  Now that August is just about in the books, let’s see how my predictions are holding up.  I will not be changing my picks or predictions, but I am kind of curious to see how my picks are faring.
