2007 NFL Preview

The 2007 season is finally upon us. Is this the year the NFC reclaims the Lombardi Trophy? Fat chance says many if not all the experts. The AFC is as deep as it ever was. The NFL is still in its AFC swing as it was during the late 80's early 90's when the NFC was dominant. But I mean really the Bills were the bulk of those losses. Can the Chargers get over that hump and finally win a playoff game for the first time since what 1995? How will the Vick-less Falcons do? Will they have more players on the field than butts in the seat? Only time will tell. We'll start over in the AFC.

So there you have it. That is how I see it for this year. I could have been boring and pick the Patriots like everyone else, but that wouldnt be fun. My surprise team is going to be the 49ers, who are going to make the playoffs due to a sweep of the Seahawks. I really think whoever comes out of the AFC with the least amount of injuries is going to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. I mean how fun would a LDT(yea thats right hes not THE LT aka Lawrence Taylor) vs Reggie matchup be? It's going to be fun to look back at this come February and laugh at myself on how wrong I was on some of these teams.
