Here I am again, ready to toss out some crazy, uninformed opinions on what i think could, should or would, but probably won't, happen in the NFL over the next 10 months.

1.  The Jets will have a 1,000 yard rusher, but it won't be Curtis Martin.  Don't ask me who it will be, I don't know, but it won't be Martin.  With 2 new offensive linemen, and a less than desirable passing game, the Jets will run as much as they can to save the glass arm and shoulder of Chad Pennington and keep Patrick Ramsey off the field completely.

2.  The Rams will upset the Seahawks in both their meetings this season, simply by outscoring them.  Surprisingly, Seattle will be the only team the Rams score more than 25 points against.  Whatever they do to magnify the 'Hawks defense will become the status quo for the NFC teams looking to keep or knock Seattle out of the playoffs.

3.  The Arizona Cardinals will score average 35 points per game, and score 560 points in the regular season.  Unfortunately, their defense won't be as dominant and they'll lose 2 or 3 games in which they score over 40 points themselves.

4.  The Green Bay Packers will score less than 20 points in all but 3 of their games, averaging a pitiful 16 points per contest.  Brett Favre will wish he had retired since he will not break any of Dan Marino's records, but will surpass the mark for all-time interceptions.....by week 14.  He needs 25 picks to attain this dubious distinction.

5.  Al Davis will fire Art Shell 6 games into the season, and coach the team himself the rest of the year.  In the following off-season, he'll attempt to hire Steve Spurrier, Barry Alvarez, Lou Holtz and Bob Davie.  All will refuse to coach for him, and he'll eventually settle on Steve Mariucci.

6.  Larry Johnson will rush for over 100 yards in every game this season, except their 12th game of the season, for which he will be suspended by Herman Edwards for "Conduct Detrimental to the Team."  It will later be revealed that Johnson complained about not getting enough touches, as his average carries per game will only be 15.  The Chiefs will lose that game, and will ultimately be the reason they miss the playoffs.  Edwards will be run out of town, or traded to the Royals for Reggie Sanders and a mascot to be named later.

7.  Marv Levy will assume coaching responsibilities by week 7, after Dick Jauron suffers a heart attack during a lop-sided loss to the Lions.  Levy will lead the team to an impressive turnaround, after bringing back Jim Kelly to coach J. P. Losman, Thurman Thomas to kick Willis McGahee for all the stupid things he's said and not backed up on the field, and Andre Reed to teach Peerless Price how to play receiver in the NFL.

8.  Ricky Williams officially retires again, thus freeing him from the monthly parade of "random" drug testing set by the NFL. 

9.  Nick Saban will pull off the mother of all upsets when he convinces the league to reinstate Ricky Williams for the second half of the season.  Williams will at first refuse to come back, since he is off in Ghana smoking pot with some washed up rock band.   Once he is sure that his system is clean, he returns only to have another positive test after eating poppy seeds on the flight back to the states.

10.  Mike Vanderjagt will make every field goal in the 4th quarter and overtime for the Dallas Cowboys this season.  Adam Vinitieri will miss one that costs the Colts a game by week 5, and be thrown under the bus by Peyton Manning, who coincidentally will throw 3 interceptions in the very same game, 2 of which get returned for touchdowns.  Tony Dungy, when interviewed, will say, "That's just Peyton being Peyton."  2 days later, Manny Ramirez will file a lawsuit against the entire organization, specifically naming Dungy and Manning, for illegally using his patented catch phrase.

That's all for now.  Remember none of this is absolutely serious, although a couple of these thoughts could actually come to fruition.
