2008 AFC North Preview

Pittsburgh Steelers

Predicted Record: 14-2
Playoff Seed: 2


Key Player: Troy Polamalu, Last year the crazy haired one went down and so did their defense. This year the Steelers need him to be healthy if they are to get through the entire season.

Fantasy Player to Eye: Three Day Old Cheeseburger, Last season the Cheeseburger threw a ton of touchdown passes (except in the 1st round of the playoffs of course). This year perhaps to go along with those TD passes he'll tack on a bit more yardage.

Why the Record: Cause I'm stupid probably and 14-2 is a bit ridiculous considering they practically play every difficult team in the NFL 5 times a piece. I guess I just think they're going to be really good and the Cheeseburger is going to be a beast.

Cincinnati Bengals

Predicted Record: 8-8

Key Player: CPD, Every year its the same story with the Bengals, how many of them will get arrested before the season starts and/or how many felons are they going to sign. If key players don't get arrested maybe they'll win some games.

Fantasy Player to Eye: Chris Perry, You may or may not remember who Chris Perry is, but he used to be an absolute beast at Michigan before he was drafted by the Bengals and left to rot on the bench. Now that he's been handed the keys to the empire and gets a chance to shine.

Why the Record: The Bengals should again be mediocre. They should be able to put up a lot of points but once again have a poor defense.

Cleveland Browns

Predicted Record: 6-10

Key Player: Brady Quinn, Why? Because he's not gonna play at all and I just think its going to be funny watching him cheer Derek Anderson from the sidelines.

Fantasy Player to Eye: Kellen Winslow, the soldier has been allergic to the end zone for the majority of his NFL career. Perhaps this will be the year that he gets to celebrate.

Why the Record: The schedule is tough and I have a funny feeling that Anderson and company are going to regress mightily this season.

Baltimore Ravens

Predicted Record: 1-15

Key Player: Quarterback, Kyle Boller just landed on IR so its not him. Is it Joe Flacco? Is it Troy Smith? Is it me? I'd vote me, but I doubt that's gonna happen.

Fantasy Player to Eye: Ray Rice, If/When Willis gets injured and is out for the year, Ray Rice could potentially become a solid #3 running back on any fantasy team.

Why the Record: No QB + aging/injured defense, plus I got a little out of hand with their losses. 1-15 is extreme but they're gonna be really bad.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
