NFL Mid-Season

Happy Veterans day everyone out there. I thought it would be nice to honor John Kerry, one of our nations greatest veterans, by flip flopping on my original NFL predictions. Every team has now played at least 8 games so that means we are more than half way through the NFL season and yours truly, Mike Fly, has some awards and revisions to make. Since I am at home recovering from Pig flu or whatever the news likes to call it, I have had some extra time to get these right. Enjoy because I know my NBA picks are right on.

Awards: (Half way through the season not how I think they will be in the end)

Biggest Surprise Player: Cedric Benson- How has he stayed clean/healthy and run well up to this point?

Biggest Surprise Team: Denver Broncos-Yeah surprise so far but they're about to bust so who cares

Biggest Disappointment Player: Albert Haynesworth- Hey, when you're brought in for that much money, a for sure last place finish is unacceptable.

Biggest Disappointment Team: For me obviously the Giants who can't do anything right but they are still in the race and will be for the rest of the season (even though they won't go anywhere). The Titans aren't that disappointing because any team that has to choose between Vince Young and Kerry Collins is in trouble. I would have to go with the Green Bay Packers-the Wizzer, Sports fella or whatever he calls himself on our site predicted them to go to the Superbowl as did many other clowns. Aaron Rodgers is not Brett Favre, hell he's not even Craig Nall; he holds the ball for too long and his great receivers make him look better than he is. Either way people thought he would be and he's letting them down.

Coach most deserving to get fired: Eric Mangini/Dick Jauron

Most over hyped player: Michael Vick-no surprise there

Most over hyped team: Philadelphia Eagles- no surprise again (somehow not the cowboys this year yet anyways) sorry just saw them lose to Cowboys in ugly game. McNabb/Reid can't coexist, neither one is smart enough to run the offense.

Best Addition: Hurts me to say this, it really really does, and I will go on the record to say he will fail before the end of the year AND use an injury as the excuse so we will think he is tough......Brett Favre

Worst Addition: Terell Owens, just pointless and not nearly as fun as I thought it would be. Chris Canty is a close runner up.

Rookie of the Year: One of the great receivers has to win between Harvin, Maclin, Crabtree, Knox, Nicks and Britt (excuse the ones I am forgetting) but my pick is with Harvin for changing the Vikings Offense.

Comeback Player: Cedric Benson (see surprise)

Coach of the Year: Josh McDaniels- he has managed to go through all the drama in his first few months and still come out 6-0 at one point.

Defensive Player of the Year: Jared Allen- he is all done playing the Packers for the season so this could change.

MVP: Peyton Manning, barley edges out Brees and Big Ben but we are watching the greatest player ever dominate with an offense that is largley made of unknowns.

Revisions: I would like to just say that I predicted the Saints would beat the Steelers in the Super Bowl back in August, that still looks good to me now!

AFC East, West South: Keep all the same except I think the Broncos will be the 2nd wildcard instead of the Texans.

AFC North: Flip Flop the Ravens and the Bengals as the Bengals will be the first Wild card in the AFC.

NFC East: Switch the top 3: Eagles will win the division at 11-5, Cowboys will finish 10-6 and get the first wild card with the Giants finishing 9-7 which will be good enough for the 3rd wild card

NFC North: I was way off with the Bears, Vikings run away with this division with no problem; no one else comes close to the playoffs.

NFC South: Stick by my predictions except the Falcons will finish at 9-7 to finish tied with the Giants but the Giants will have beaten them head to head.

NFC West: As I predicted no one will care about the NFC West and the winner will get destroyed in the playoffs. I hope you have enjoyed my revisions because remember, if I put it on the site, it has to be right.

My next article will be about how Michael Jackson is the most over rated person alive.....yes that child molestor is still with us so stay tuned.
