NFL Season Preview

The time has arrived. Another fall, another NFL Season ready to kick off for it's 95th year. With some new faces in new place, as well as new rule changes that are going to be put into effect this year, its going to make for a highly entertaining football season that's for sure. The Seattle Seahawks come is as the defending Super Bowl Champions and are still a very good football team, but took a bit of a hit this year with losing talent. Despite the fact that the NFC East may be the weakest division in all of football, the NFC is still the stronger of the two conferences, which will make it a battle for the six playoff spots. There are some teams that got a lot better, some teams took a few steps backwards, while yet other teams didn't really do much at all to improve their odds.

There will be a few new looks on the rule book for this season. One is the new rule on dunking. "Dunking" the football through the goal post/crossbar is now considered unsportsmanlike conduct (15 yards). This rule was enacted thanks to Jimmy Graham of the New Orleans Saints. Graham was known for dunking the football after every touchdown. His celebration in week 12 last year, a game against the Atlanta Falcons, caused the goal post to be bent out of shape, causing a delay in the game. This was a big reason for the new rule change. Another change that will be enacted this year is video replay and review on fumbles. Expand replays to cover recovery of loose balls even if the play is blown dead. This was in response to the blown call in last years playoffs, in the NFC title game between Seattle and San Francisco. The 49ers NaVorro Bowman's clear recovery of a loose ball and downed by contact, but the ball was still given to the Seattle Seahawks after Seahawks running back Michael Robinson took it away from Bowman after Bowman was forced to let go of the ball due to a severe knee injury. Despite the indisputable video evidence of the recovery by Bowman, the play was not reviewable. So that lead to the change in the rule.

But enough about the boring rule changes. Lets get down to the nitty gritty. Here's what I got for each and every division this season in the NFL. We have here our predictions, made before the start of the season, for the division winners, the wild card teams and the SuperBowl!
