The Colts, of course.

I'll say the Patriots, until somebody knocks them off.

I concur.

The Pats are the obvious choice in the AFC but there's another team for them to worry about in the NFC.In the NFC I'd take the Vikes for a couple reasons:

The defense is much improved
Their running backs are fine and they have great depth
They added Marcus Robinson to go along with Moss
The Eagles will come close, the Terrell Owens experiment will blow up in their face and a tough division race will cost them home field advantage
The Pack will have a down year because of their defense ,the Bears already have injury problems, and the Lions may be their toughest competition in their division meaning they most likely will get home field
The NFC South will produce a paper champ, and in the NFC West the Seahawks will make the playoffs but not make it to the Super Bowl

As a Falcons Season Ticket holder, I'd like to say us....but there's too much riding on Vick staying healthy.

I'm going to throw in a team that's always good, but hasn't been GREAT in a while. How about the Pack? Brett Favre's got a great offensive line, some pretty good recievers, and one of the top 2 or 3 backs in the league to hand off to in Ahman Green. I say Brett goes out on top, and hangs it up after the season.

I'm putting a couple of dollars on the Seahawks.
They lost in overtime last year in a game they
should have won. They'll be hungry, they had
a good draft, their defense should be better, too.

Love those longshots; give me the Seahawks.

I'm a Lions fan, so I'm hoping for at least an 8-8 record this year.

Okay...no team led by Mike Tice will ever win the Super Bowl...

it's all up to the defense...

Mike Tice isn't a bad coach. He is alot better than Dennis Green the vikes former coach. Don't even get me started how Green Screwd up that football team.
