Post your Super Bowl predictions
We are now knee deep in NFL preview week here.
And it’s time for your Super Bowl predictions. I'll keep them, I promise.
I believe I had the Jacksonville Jaguars and Dallas Cowboys in the Super Bowl this time last year. So it’s pretty obvious why The Sun employs me as a baseball writer (For the record, most of my predictions for the baseball playoffs are still in good shape).
Basically, the AFC is tough for me to figure out this season.
I’m going to avoid putting the Ravens into the Super Bowl. That would make me too much of a homer. But feel free to do it yourself.
As a card-carrying Baltimoron, I am contractually obligated to not pick the Pittsburgh Steelers. Besides, it is so tough to repeat that I probably wouldn’t have picked them anyway, despite their immense talent.
And I am just not sold on the New England Patriots simply because Tom Brady is back. Yes, it makes them better; but not necessarily the AFC champs.
So I am going with the San Diego Chargers, because I like their balanced offense and strong defense, assuming a certain former Terp behaves. Plus, their division is so terrible they should be ashamed if they don’t lock up the conference’s best record and home-field advantage.
On the NFC side, I know the Cowboys, the Eagles and the Falcons are chic picks. But I am going with the Green Bay Packers. Again, I like the balanced offense and the opportunistic defense. And they also get to face some bad teams.
So that’s my call: Chargers versus Packers in the Super Bowl, with Packers winning.

Very tough this year. So many really good teams. Should make for a great season. That said I've got to stick with the Ravens. Ravens win it all.

My heart says go with the Ravens all the way because they have enough talent to win the Super Bowl. My head says they are not even the best team in their own division. Here are my official picks, not necessarily the way I want to turn out.
AFC: Chargers, Steelers, Patriots, Colts division champs; Ravens, Titans wild cards
NFC: Vikings, Giants, Falcons, Cardinals division champs; Packers, Eagles wild cards
AFC playoffs: Ravens over Colts, Patriots over Titans; Ravens over Chargers, Patriots over Steelers; Patriots over Ravens
NFC playoffs: Packers over Cardinals, Eagles over Falcons; Vikings over Eagles, Packers over Giants; Vikings over Packers
Super Bowl: Patriots over Vikings, 31-17
If I get more than half of the teams right, let alone the order of seeding or any of the games I will be completely surprised.

I think this year has the potential of being what most of us wished for last year... Ravens vs Eagles. This could be the year; have so many fans felt this good about our chances before? We finally got a good QB!
