This has probably turned into one of my favorite annual posts (this and the one where I gloat about winning the league). So let's hear those 10 Fearless Predictions. Remember: no pussing out ("I think Drew Brees will pass for 25 TDs!")! ============================================================

1. Darren McFadden will average the highest YPC of anyone eligible for the rushing title.
2. The Browns' defense will allow the fewest points out of anyone in the AFC.
3. The worst team in the league will be the Buffalo Bills. TO will be benched and/or cut by the end of the year. Jauron will be fired. Total crash and burn.
4. The Colts will have a losing record.
5. Kyle Orton will throw for more yards than Jay Cutler. The Broncos will have a better record than the Bears. Orton will have a higher QB rating than Cutler.
6. Vince Young will take over as the starter in Tennessee, lead his team to the playoffs, and win Comeback Player of the Year.
7. Reggie Bush will score 3 TDs the entire year.
8. The Browns' starting QB by week 17 will not be Brady Quinn. It will not be Derek Anderson. It will be Brett Ratliff.
9. The Pittsburgh Steelers will have a losing divisional record.
10. The Carolina Panthers will win the Super Bowl.

1. Matt Cassel will throw for more yards than Tom Brady
2. Arizona will be the first SB loser to make the playoffs the following year in quite some time
3. The Browns will have the worst record in the league (ok, that's not going out on the limb)
4. McNabb has his worst season, statistically
5. Neither Atlanta nor Baltimore will make the playoffs
6. Josh McDaniel will be fired at seasons end
7. Cedric Benson outrushes Marion Barber
8. Michael Vick scores more TDs this year than Tavaris Jackson
9. TO doesn't last past week 3 before going off on Edwards publically
10. I finally make the DVR playoffs.

1. Detroit will win at least 3 games, one of which is against Minnesota.
2. Houston goes 8-8 again and misses the playoffs.
3. Michael Crabtree will hold out until after the start of the regular season. We will see his stupid catch against Texas every time he is mentioned on the news. After opening day his hold-out will become a non-story and he caves.
4. TO keeps his nose clean and doesn't throw his new team under the bus this yaer, despite a poor record.
5. Jay Cutler costs Chicago 2 games and the NFC North title.
6. Sage Rosenfels starts in Minnesota, but only 10 games. His injury puts Tavaris Jackson in the starting role in mid-season. Viking fans breathe a sigh of relief when Rosenfels returns.
7. Cleveland's first scapegoat is Braylon Edwards. The end of season scapegoat is Brady Quinn.
8. Miami takes the AFC East again.
9. Carolina wins an easy divison and cruises to the NFC title game, but fail to make the Superbowl.
10. Green Bay has another losing season. The talking heads on Thanksgiving will bring up Favre's dismissal during the telecast, despite the fact its a year old story and he's retired.

Ballsiest predictions so far: Miami winning the AFCE, all the love for Carolina, Michael Vick out TD-ing anyone, and the Brett Ratliff (and stifling defense!) era in Cleveland.
WHERE ARE THE REST OF YOU WITH YOUR BALLSY PREDICTIONS??

Based on how he ran against Dallas D tonight, he'll average 16 ypc. Not impressive showing by the D tonight.

When you allow Bruce Gradkowski and Charlie Frye (both former Browns QBs) to go 9/16 and 7/12 with one TD each, it's not a good sign, even in preseason.

To be fair, Dallas had 8 starters out, including their two best CBs.

1). Chris Simms opens the season as the Bronco starting QB, and throws more passing tds than Jay Cutler.
2). Chester Taylor leads the NFC in rushing after Adrian Peterson tears his acl in the opening game. (This is more to insure A.P. has another awesome year since my predicitons never come true!).
3). Sage "Mr. Iowa State" Rosefels pulls a Kurt Warner by staying healthy all season and leads the Vikings to the Super Bowl.
4) Vikings become the first NFL team to lose 5 Super Bowl contests.
5). Percy Harvin is named rookie of the year in the NFC.
6). Tom Brady reinjures his knee, but the Patriots replacement qb comes in and leads them to the playoffs anyway.
7). The Buffalo Bills win their first Super Bowl, only to move to Toronto, Canada in the off season.
8). Brett Favre unretires and joins the Saints in October when Drew Brees is knocked out for the remainder of the year.
9). Lendale White has a better year than Reggie Bush.
10). Cowboys coach Wade Phillips is the first coach fired during the season.

1. Mike Vick has >10 total TD 2. The Cowboys miss the playoffs. 3. Chad MAKES the playoffs. 4. Adrian Peterson finishes under 1500 rush yds. 5. Andre Johnson finishes above 1500 rec. yds. 6. Brian Orakpo will cause Chad and I to say things for which we will need to repent. 7. Vince Young will start to redeem himself with his play....but will then say something stupid, making people forget that he's actually getting better. 8. Stradlebuck misses the playoffs. 9. Mark Sanchez and Matt Stafford will combine for between 4950-5050 yards passing. 10. Finkle wins it all.

1. Cleveland and St Louis will be "playing" for the honor of having the worst record this year. (Giving Cleveland a slight edge here.)
2. The Lions will get 6 wins.
3. Vince Young will wash out and never be a starting QB.
4. McNabb will throw a TD pass to Vick.
5. R Moss will have more yards and TDs then Owens.
6. Some one will draft Favre and watch him go down with a season-ending injury by game three.
7. Steven Jackson will be drafted in the top 10 and not have the stats to warrant such a high pick.
8. Oakland/Al Davis will be kicked out of the league for behavior unbecoming for even the NFL.
9. No Horvath will win the DVRFFL championship.
10. Chad WILL make the DVRFFL playoffs finally. (Come on Chad! I have money on this one.)

Dude. I'm watching the Steelers/Skins game right and Orakpo is single handedly altering this game. Pitt finally had to double up on him. It is a horrible thing him being on Washington.
