NFL 2011-2012 Season Preview
Tick tock; tick tock….it’s that time of year where everyone stares at the clock waiting for the regular season to start. It’s also the time of year where the season previews and super bowl predictions start coming out.
Recently, Peter King put out his season preview listing the Dolphins 4th in the AFC East with a 6-10 record. King also posted his Super Bowl prediction, taking the Falcons over the Chargers in this year’s Super Bowl.
That being said, you won’t be ready for this year’s kickoff until you check out my 2011 NFL season preview. So here you go:

I know, it’s impossible to repeat. BUT when you look up and down each NFL roster it’s hard to argue that the Packers don’t have the best team in the NFL. It’s a quarterback driven league so I’ll take the two youngest super star QB’s to face off on the game’s largest stage.
A couple of things to note in my predictions:
1. New England loses a 4th straight playoff game (As good as Brady and Bill are that defense still needs work)
2. Cardinals winning division over St.Louis….only one player led me to making this decision Larry Fitzgerald.
3. Dallas heads back to the playoffs….I think it’s still early for Detroit to give them hard pressed competition.
4. The Dream Team disappoints….still a playoff team but still questions with the O Line. Vick is an elite QB but not top five in the league.
5. Chargers dominating – Philip Rivers is my best bet to win MVP
6. Peyton will still be Peyton
On my Dolphins prediction: While I am predicting another medicore Dolphins' season, I will go more into depth on that later in my 2011 Dolphins' season preview before the season starts.
