How Wrong Was I? The North

NFC NORTH
Predictions-
1. Green Bay Packers (12-4)
2. Minnesota Vikings (10-6)
3. Chicago Bears (7-9)
4. Detroit Lions (4-12)

Actual-
1. Minnesota (8-1)
2. Green Bay (5-4)
3. Chicago (4-5)
4. Detroit (1-8)

I guess Favre has a whole lot more left in his tank than I thought. The Vikings are the second best team in the NFC, and are looking like a team that can go all the way. Green Bay has been in almost every game, but they need to learn how to play defense and protect Aaron Rogers. Chicago is looking good for 7-9, because Cutler throws way too many INTs. Detroit, well, they won one game, so that is already better than last year. They should start looking at left tackles in this year's draft class.

AFC EAST
Predictions-
1. Pittsburgh Steelers (14-2)
2. Baltimore Ravens (12-4)
3. Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals (4-12)

Actual-
1. Cincinnati (7-2)
2. Pittsburgh (6-3)
3. Baltimore (5-4)
4. Cleveland (1-8)

No one thought the Bengals would be this good. Credit to Marvin Lewis for finally making his team tough. Carson Palmer has been healthy and doesn't turn the ball over. Cedric Benson looks like a new man, though he is now injured. Pittsburgh keeps rolling along and should end up with at least a Wild Card spot. The Ravens have let me down a little, but have a chance to make a statement against Peyton Manning and Co. this weekend. Cleveland... I got nothing. They are just horrible, and might be the worst run franchise in the NFL,which is saying a lot when the Bills, Redskins, Rams and Raiders all still exist.
