As the 2010 NFL season is upon us, I’d like to make a couple predictions. Some are more outlandish than others. Regardless, here they are:

1. Bret Farve will retire. For real this time
2. NY Jets dethrone the Patriots by taking the AFC East
3. …but Brady still has an incredible year (in the final year of his contract. Coincidence?)
4. AFC North Champs: Baltimore Ravens
5. AFC South Champs: Can you really bet against the Colts? I can’t.
6. AFC East Champs: San Diego, but not by much
7. …with the Patriots and Texans playing in Week 1 of the playoffs
8. NFC West: 49ers with a 10-6 record
9. NFC North: Green Bay by Aaron’s arm
10. NFC East: Dallas Cowboys
11. NFC South: Atlanta Falcons– he said wha?!?
12. …but the New Orleans Saints and NY Giants still make the payoffs as wild card teams
13. Raiders go 8-8 and complain about being cheated out of at least 2 games
14. Offensive Rookie of the Year: , Ryan Mathews RB, San Diego Chargers
15. Defense Rookie of the Year: Rolando McClain ILB, Oakland Raiders
16. The MVP: Aaron Rogers, QB, Green Bay Packers
17. Chris Johnson of the Titans will not be the leading rusher
18. QB’s Orton, Quinn, and Tebow will all start at least once for the Broncos
19. The Eagles go 0-2 to McNabb and the Redskins
20. Super Bowl Champions: Payton Manning, with the Indianapolis Colts in a supporting role (remember, it’s a contract year for Payton, too).

Bonus: The best team to win less than 6 games: The Detroit Lions.
