10 Shameless Predictions about the NFL Season

10. Adrian Peterson (MIN) will play no more than 13 games...
He will rush for 1,700 yards though and lead the League in rushing.

9. Jason Campbell will blow up...
Becoming a legit top 10 QB. Campbell is tailor-made for Jim Zorn’s west coast offense.

8. The AFC South will be won by...
The Jacksonville Jaguars. This race will be close, and my feeling is that Peyton Forehead could miss a game or two. That’s all it will take for Jacksonville to take the lead.

7. Unknown Hero Numero Uno...
Greg Olsen. With or without Brett Fav-ruh in Chicago, Olsen should have a big year. The absence of a legit WR makes this more obvious.

6. Ryan Grant v2.0...
Lorenzo Booker, Philadelphia Eagles. While not quite the unknown Grant was, Booker is going to be a major asset for the Iggles.

5. Quarterback Controversies, Solved!...
MIA: Josh McCown
GB: Aaron Rodgers
CHI: Kyle Orton
SF: Alex Smith
NYJ: Chad Pennington
ARZ: Matt Leinart

4. You’re Fired...
Mike Nolan, SF
Lane Kiffin, OAK
Lovie Smith, CHI

3. Defensive League Leaders...
Tackles: Patrick Willis, 49ers
Sacks: Jared Allen, Vikings (20+)
Interceptions: Antonio Cromartie (12+)

2. Offensive League Leaders...
Passing (TDs): Tom Brady, Patriots
Rushing (Yards): Adrian Peterson, Vikings
Receiving (TDs): Braylon Edwards, Browns

1. And your division winners are....
Patriots, Browns, Jaguars, Chargers
Eagles, Vikings, Saints, Cardinals
WC: Steelers, Colts
WC: Cowboys, Giants
