Green Bay Packers
Predicted Record: 10-6
Playoff Seed: #3
Key Player: Brett Favre, Mr. Favre, could you possibly throw more TDs than ints this season? You know so you have a solid curtain call and playoff run instead of another season where everyone wonders why the hell you are still playing.
Fantasy Player to Eye: Brandon Jackson, He has talent and he should get the bulk of the carries and he can be had in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts. He's probably a guy you'll think about in midseason saying damn I should have drafted him instead of the crappy wideout I picked instead.
Why the Record: Well a miserable division and an easy schedule really. Unlike the Bears they do not have to play the number 1 teams in the the East, West and South. For some reason I think Brett Favre actually won't suck this season and that Brandon Jackson will be solid.
Projected Wins: PHI, @MIN, WAS, MIN, CAR, @DET, OAK, @STL, @CHI, DET
Projected Losses: @NYG, SD, CHI, @DEN, @KC, @DAL
Chicago Bears
Predicted Record: 9-7
Playoff Seed: #6
Key Player: Rex Grossman, It's easily evident that the Bears need the Sex Cannon. The Sex Cannon can perform and put up big numbers or the sex cannon could take a dump on the field. Either is equally likely. During said dumps the Bears will lose.
Fantasy Player to Eye: Cedric Benson, I think Benson is due for a breakout campaign. He's got the skill and now he will get the touches which means he will put up the fantasy points.
Why the Record: The Sex Cannon will have several said dumps which will bring down the Bears. Plus their schedule isn't much fun.
Projected Wins: KC, @GB, MIN, DET, @OAK, DEN, NYG, @WAS, @MIN,
Projected Losses: @SD, DAL, @DET, @PHI, @SEA, GB, NO
Detroit Lions
Predicted Record: 9-7
Key Player: Kevin Jones or Tatum Bell, The Lions should, key word should, have a diesel passing attack with Roy and Calvin going deep and little white Furrey doing his best Chrebet impression. But their running backs leave a lot of question marks. The Lions will need one to step up for a balanced attack.
Fantasy Player to Eye: Jason Hanson, With a questionable running game but a high powered passing attack, I'm willing to bet the Lions stall a lot near the goal line. And thus the kicker becomes increasingly important and relevant in fantasy drafts. A last pick used on Hanson is a wise one.
Why the Record: Again it's playing in the NFC as well as this terrible division. Their opening schedule is a joke and I have them starting off at an incredible 5-0. While that might be a stretch I think 9-7 is a distinct possibility considering their offensive weapons.
Projected Wins: @OAK, MIN, @PHI, CHI, @WAS, TB, DEN, DAL, KC,
Projected Losses: @CHI, @ARI, NYG, GB, @MIN, @SD, @GB
Minnesota Vikings
Predicted Record: 6-10
Key Player: Tarvaris Jackson, If you don't have a quarterback in this league you don't win games. Jackson is the key to this team, well the quarterback is the key, if it ends up not being Jackson. Either way the QB needs to be able to complete some passes that way they don't face 8 man fronts all season long.
Fantasy Player to Eye: Defense, The Vikings defense gave up almost no rushing yards last season and that really shouldn't change despite Tomlin's departure. Another benefit to their defense is that because they won't be able to pass the ball on offense you can expect the Vikings to try to drown the clock with Chester and Peterson and give the D lots of breathing time on the sidelines and limited time on the field.
Why the Record: I just don't trust the QB. He hasn't shown anything yet and he's been bad in the preseason. They should be able to run the ball behind their stud left side of the line, but will they be able to put a lot of points on the board? I think not.
