My Pats are going to take down the Colts, then we are going to defeat whatever NFC team is in our way. Brady is too good to be stopped!
Interesting picks... my biggest disagreement would have to be with such a high placement of the Dolphins. I think they'll be improved, but I don't have them as going to the playoffs like seemingly everyone else does... I saw a lot of Daunte and at times he's fantastic, but people still have to remember he wasn't that good last year before the injury, and he still has never played all that much against defenses without Randy Moss as a WR. Of course, these are probably some of the same criticisms I would have dismissed last year as a Vikings fan, but I think they may still be there.
Anyway, I have Colts over Giants, but I certainly see Bengals and Seahawks meeting up. Provided Palmer is healthy, and it looks like he is, that Bengals offense will be rolling once again.

My impressions on your picks, Prada:
NFC East I like
Can the Lions be that good? Who really knows.
I think the Bucs and Bengals will be better than 7-9
Also, I don't think the Steelers are that good of a team without Bettis and Randle-El. I think Bettis certainly was a good leader in the locker room, but he also was a decent back. Can Willie Parker carry all that load? Also, how will the offense be without Randle-El? Otherwise, I am feeling your picks.
I think you need to put all the NFC East teams at no better than 10 wins because I think it's definitely the toughest division in football...
It's true TO is a cancer, but Dallas will be there. Eli Manning lost it the secondhalf of last season and the Giants schedule is probably the toughest in the NFL, but the Giants will be there. The Skins made some interesting offseason moves and they'll be there. And with a healthy McNabb, the Eagles should be there too...maybe not as high, but they'll be tough to beat again.
I see the NFC East like the current AL Central race (a month ago, I would have said the AL East until the Red Sox and Blue Jays went to shit)...3 very, very good teams who will play each other a lot and the teams that make the postseason from that division will either win it all because they've been battle-tested the whole season, or they're going to lose early because they're so beat up beating up on each other.
I think the AFC East is the weakeast division, but I think the Pats will come out of there.
The NFC North is just as bad (if not worse), but I like the Bears out of there.
Then Carolina, Seattle, Pitt, Indi and Denver.
And I got to go with my team, Big Blue, from the NFC East.
I have no clue who will win it all...I'm in a country where football is soccer and the Vikings are their ancestors. Greetings from Copenhagen!
