Five Wacky NFL Predictions for '09

I am waiting for massive svn commits to go through to our central repo. While that is going on, I figure it is time for a troll worthy post of wacky things I am going on a limb to predict to happen in the NFL in '09. I have absolutely no legitimate insight behind these predictions, for what it is worth.

1. Plaxico Burress will be the Comeback Player of the Year


2. Tom Brady's comeback will be underwhelming and he will not be one of the three QBs selected to the AFC for the pro bowl.


3. One team in the NFL will make the playoffs with a losing record. There is a 99% chance this team will come from the NFC West or NFC North. There is a 30% chance it will be the Arizona Cardinals with Matt Leinart at QB


4. For the first time since 1986 (Lawrence Taylor) the NFL MVP will be a defensive player. I am going to be really bold and predict that player to be Mario Williams of Houston.


5. Super Bowl: I have <drumroll /> the Washington Redskins over the Baltimore Ravens. It will be given a stupid label such as the Beltway Bowl.
