It's that time of year (actually it's way past it, but I'm still getting in under the gun) when I put on that sometimes faulty prognostication cap and make my annual NFL Season Predictions.

So without further ado, here are my 2011 NFL Season and Playoff Predictions:

AFC East				NFC East
New England	11	5		Philadelphia	11	5
NY Jets	10	6		Dallas	10	6
Miami	6	10		NY Giants	7	9
Buffalo	5	11		Washington	5	11
AFC North				NFC North
Pittsburgh	13	3		Green Bay	11	5
Baltimore	11	5		Chicago	9	7
Cleveland	8	8		Detroit	9	7
Cincinnati	4	12		Minnesota	4	12
AFC South				NFC South
Houston	10	6		Atlanta	11	5
Tennessee	8	8		New Orleans	10	6
Indianapolis	7	9		Tampa Bay	8	8
Jacksonville	5	11		Carolina	3	13
AFC West				NFC West
San Diego	11	5		Arizona	9	7
Oakland	9	7		St. Louis	8	8
Kansas City	8	8		San Francisco	6	10
Denver	6	10		Seattle	3	13

 
AFC Playoff Teams: Pittsburgh, New England, San Diego, Houston, Baltimore, NY Jets

NFL Playoff Teams: Atlanta, Green Bay, Philadelphia, Arizona, New Orleans, Dallas

AFC Champion: New England

NFC Champion: Atlanta
 

Super Bowl Champion: New England

In what should be an entertaining game between the grizzled New England veterans and the young up and coming Falcons, Tom Brady will find a way to pull out some magic and return the Lombardi Trophy back to New England for the first time since 2004.



There we go; my 2011 NFL Season and Playoff Predictions are on the books. And just like last in my 2010 NFL Season and Playoff Predictions, I'll look back on this and wonder what the heck I was thinking.
