Fearless predictions, '05 edition

Time to hang myself out there with some fearless predictions for the 2005 season. But since I believe they'll happen, I don't think they're so fearless, so I'm not hanging myself out there too far:
• Kyle Boller will have a 1.5-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio. And because of that, Baltimore will win 11 games.

• Big Ben will struggle, and you will hear more grumblings about his "likeability" factor in the lockerroom. There are already whispers that many Steelers hate the guy ESPN The Magazine tabbed "Next."

• Drew Brees will fall off slightly from his '04 season but will lead the Chargers to their second consecutive AFC West title, and Philip Rivers will be traded to Tampa or Miami in the offseason.

• Falcons fans will be treated to some good football: Philly, Minnesota, New England and Green Bay all come to town.

• Houston's defense will finish in the top 10, but the Texans will miss the playoffs again.

• Chad Pennington will start all 16 games for the first time in his career.

• With Bill Belichick calling the plays, Ty Law will be burnt twice for touchdowns when the Jets play the Pats on Dec. 4 and 26.

• Law will finish the season with two interceptions.

• Kyle Orton will have some success but will eclipse David Carr as the QB most flagged for intentional grounding. (Carr was nailed an NFL-high five times last year, according to Stats Inc.)

• Miami will beat New England in Week 10.

• Opposing QBs will finish the year with a higher QB rating vs. the Raiders than that of Oakland's Kerry Collins, even with Randy Moss.

• Marc Bulger will lead the NFL in passer rating.

• Dwight Freeney will repeat as NFL sack champ.

• Laveranues Coles will lead the NFL in receptions.

• Corey Dillon will lead the NFL in rushing.

• Baltimore will lead the NFL in defense and finish in the Top 15 in offense.

• Offensive rookie: Troy Williamson, Vikings WR.

• Defensive rookie: Derrick Johnson, Chiefs LB.

• League MVP: LaDainian Tomlinson.

• Comeback Player of the Year: Jamal Lewis. (Can you "comeback" from jail?)

• Drop-offs (those who will come back to earth after good '04 seasons): Reuben Droughns, Tiki Barber, Muhsin Muhammad, Brian Griese.

• Current coordinators who will be head coaches by 2007: Al Saunders, Chiefs offensive coordinator; Eric Mangini, Pats defensive coordinator.

• Even though my magazine is picking Minnesota to go to the Super Bowl, I say the Vikings, struggling on defense and running the ball, will win only nine games. (Hey, it's still an improvement over last year.)

• Willis McGahee is primed to finish as a Top 5 rusher but won't, because J.P. Losman will struggle too much.

• Dom Capers will be let go at year's end.

• D.J. Williams, the first Bronco to record double-digit tackles-for-loss since John Mobley, will get 11 TFLs.

• Carolina will snap its 0-5 record against the Michael Vick-led Falcons on Dec. 4.

• Philadelphia will finish with home-field advantage in the NFC again.

• This weird stat won't be repeated: Last year's Super Bowl participants, the Pats and Eagles, led the NFL in most 10-play drives allowed (Philly 34, Pats 32). Thanks, Stats Inc.

And the winners are ...
• NFC Division champs: Philadelphia, Carolina, Arizona and Minnesota.
• NFC Wild Cards: Detroit, Atlanta.
• NFC first round: Arizona over Detroit; Atlanta over Minnesota.
• NFC Divisional Round: Carolina over Atlanta; Philly over Arizona.
• NFC Championship: Philly over Carolina.

• AFC Division champs: New England, Baltimore, Indianapolis and San Diego.
• AFC Wild Cards: Denver, New York.
• AFC First Round: Indy over Denver; San Diego over New York.
• AFC Divisional Round: New England over Indy; San Diego over Baltimore.
• AFC Championship: San Diego over New England.

Super Bowl XL Champ: San Diego Chargers.

Looks like I'm not the only one smoking crack

Does anyone actually think Big Ben is a 15-1 quarterback? He was coming around at the end of the season. Ravens or Patriots take the AFC this year. As for NFC, who plays in that league again? Heehee...

We're going to pwn this year. Boller is actually starting to learn how to play, so good times are ahead.
