These are actually my personal "updated" predictions. Let's dance.
NFC EAST
New York Giants (11-5)
Philadelphia Eagles (10-6)
Dallas Cowboys (7-9)
Washington Redskins (3-13)
Division Summary: The Giants got a lot of respect from me by beating the Patriots. The Eagles are... "soaring," and the Cowboys are as overrated as ever. The Redskins could be the worst team in the conference at this point.
NFC WEST
San Francisco 49ers (13-3)
Seattle Seahawks (5-11)
Arizona Cardinals (3-13)
St. Louis Rams (2-14)
Division Summary: Except for the 49ers, this division is absolutely a wreck. The 49ers have basically clinched the division already, and will only add to their record with some easy wins within their division. The 49ers may just be the most complete team in the NFL.
NFC NORTH
Green Bay Packers (15-1)
Detroit Lions (10-6)
Minnesota Vikings (9-7)
Chicago Bears (9-7)
Division Summary: This is my vote for toughest division in the league. The Packers are a legit threat to repeat. The Lions have plenty of weaknesses but sure look good against -.500 teams. Do the math. I project the Vikings will be the team to end the Packers' undefeated run. The Bears have a tough schedule up ahead.
NFC SOUTH
Atlanta Falcons (12-4)
New Orleans Saints (11-5)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-7)
Carolina Panthers (4-12)
Division Summary: The Saints are dreadful on the road, but luckily play the majority of their remaining games at home; This weakness allows the Falcons to leapfrog them into the division crown. The Buccaneers are overrated in my eyes, but still good. And I feel bad for Newton.
AFC EAST
Buffalo Bills (12-4)
New England Patriots (11-5)
New York Jets (10-6)
Miami Dolphins (2-14)
Division Summary: The Bills had a rough game but still own the league in many offensive and defensive categories. The Patriots are proving they can compete with the big dawgs but are having trouble beating them. The Jets are on a hot streak but have a tough schedule ahead. The Dolphins suck.
AFC WEST
San Diego Chargers (9-7)
Kansas City Chiefs (7-9)
Oakland Raiders (6-10)
Denver Broncos (4-12)
Division Summary: The Chargers are so inconsistent it's not even funny. The Chiefs lost to the Dolphins. The Raiders are lost without Campbell. The Broncos can compete with teams in their own league (i.e. other crap teams).
AFC NORTH
Baltimore Ravens (13-3)
Pittsburgh Steelers (11-5)
Cincinatti Bengals (9-7)
Cleveland Browns (5-11)
Divison Sumarry: Ravens are the best team in the league when they actually click together. The Steelers are complete on every side of the ball. The Bengals are leading the division because they haven't played the Steelers or Ravens yet. And it's official; Peyton Hillis has the Madden Curse.
AFC SOUTH
Houstan Texans (12-4)
Tennessee Titans (7-9)
Jacksonville Jaguars (6-10)
Indianapolis Colts (0-16)
Division Summary: The Texans are a legit superbowl contender. Everyone else sucks so bad they don't need to be spoken about.

***Super Bowl***
Ravens VS Falcons
Joe Flacco: 19/30, 329 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT.
Matt Ryan: 26/41, 331 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT.
Ray Rice: 17 RSH attempts for 111 yards. 6 REC for 61 yards.

Anquan Boldin: 7 REC for 106 yards. 2 TD.
Roddy White: 11 REC for 131 yards. TD.
Ray Lewis: 11 Tackles, 1 FF
Brent Grimes: INT, TD
The game will be all knotted up with seconds left to play at 24-24. The Ravens will call a Hail Mary to try and win it before going into overtime. Brent Grimes will intercept the deep pass and return it for a touchdown with no time left. Falcons win the superbowl, 31-24.
So tell me your thoughts, and also tell me your predictions. Please keep flaming to a minimum.
Those are good points John. Well say Joe Flacco kneels it down, and it goes into overtime. I say whoever wins the coin toss wins the game.
