Predicted Record
Actual Record
AFC East
New York Jets -- 11-5 -- 11-5
Nailed this one almost exactly as I thought. Good enough to beat bad teams and ugly enough to steal a couple along the way. Rex Ryan is a gaping asshole, but he gets those 50 guys to play their ass off for him and that's commendable. Also, note the Jets gave a fifth round draft pick for Santonio Holmes. Jerry Jones can't do that.
New England Patriots -- 10-6 -- 14-2
Somehow won 14 games with zero vertical threat and somehow come out with a billion draft picks.
Miami Dolphins -- 10-6 -- 7-9
Bill Parcells leaves and the thing falls apart.
Buffalo Bills -- 3-13 -- 4-12
Every season, there's a bad NFL team that plays it tough every week. That was the 2010 Buffalo Bills.
AFC North
Baltimore Ravens -- 12-4 -- 12-4
Loved the Ravens then. Still do. I don't think too much of Joe Flacco. I think you win 12 games a year and a playoff game.
Cincinnati Bengals -- 11-5 -- 4-12
As soon as the Bengals pull their head out of the ass, ship off the troublemakers and make Jordan Shipley the keystone to that offense, they'll be fine. Don't you feel like Carson Palmer should be a guy on a good team where he doesn't do anything and we say, "Carson Palmer just doesn't makes mistakes and keeps his team in the game." It's as if he deserves a better fate.
Pittsburgh Steelers -- 8-8 -- 12-4
I'm an idiot.
Cleveland Browns -- 3-13 -- 5-11
Trade of the year: Brady Quinn for Peyton Hillis.
AFC South
Indianapolis Colts -- 12-4 -- 10-6
Whoever scouts defensive players for the Colts needs to be fired.
Tennessee Titans -- 10-6 -- 6-10
Chris Johnson was misused in most games. Granted they played from behind, but there's no one else I'd rather give the ball to than him down by two touchdowns.
Houston Texans -- 8-8 -- 6-10
The Texans didn't even have the common courtesy of going 8-8. Who are we supposed to overhype next season? Also wound up 6-10 with the best receiver and running back in the league.
Jacksonville Jaguars -- 6-10 -- 10-6
We might all be underestimating David Garrard and Jack Del Rio.
AFC West
San Diego Chargers -- 11-5 -- 9-7
If you could explain why Norv Turner's Chargers sucked in September and October, then you'd be a rich man. It's eerie how this happens every season. How is he not fired?
Oakland Raiders -- 8-8 -- 8-8
If the Raiders luck into a good receiver and a better quarterback, they're in the playoffs, easily.
Denver Broncos -- 7-9 -- 4-12
The Broncos are in ruins. They gave up on Josh McDaniels entirely too early, are marrying themselves to the cult of Tim Tebow and threw in the towel on Kyle Orton too soon.
Kansas City Chiefs -- 5-11 -- 10-6
Everything was better: O-line, D-line, quarterback, running game. Get better up front and you add two or three wins to your record.
