I did pretty badly with this last year, predicting that the Giants and Eagles would go into the post-season as winners and wildcard respectively. In the end, the Cowboys surprised and the Giants disappointed to swap places from my predictions. Unfortunately the ‘Skins did no better than I thought they would and were propping up the division.
Let’s see what’s happening for 2010…
This year’s Free Agency period has started, and players are on the move big time already. Here are some of the moves that have caught our eye so far…
Nate Burleson to the Lions. This is either a stroke of genius or a real stretch, but Stafford needs receiving options. They’ve also added Kyle Vanden Bosch to their defensive line.
Karlos Dansby is now a Dolphin. Miami have made several changes already on the defensive side but Dansby would be a good addition in any case. They’ve also signed Chad Pennington for another year who is a good option as a backup.
In New York, the Jets and Giants have both improved their secondaries with Antrel Rolle joining the Giants and Antonio Cromartie heading to the Jets. Rolle becomes the highest paid safety in NFL history in the process.

So it all kicks off in a matter of hours! Week 1 is here, so this is our last chance to get our picks for the season published.
These are based on what we’ve been watching, what we’ve been following, some blind faith and our guts. These are are our predictions for the 12 post-season teams of the 2009 season.
Moving away from the line, we start a look at the defensive backs.
We can’t vouch that these will be the best players in absolute terms, have the biggest fantasy upside or even be any good (though they might be)… but they’re players that we like to watch.
We start in Miami, with cornerback Will Allen.
Renaldo Wynn – Defensive Lineman
In the first of an ongoing series to look at our favourite players in each position, we take a look at good old D-line.
We can’t vouch that these will be the best players in absolute terms, have the biggest Fantasy Football upside or even be any good (though they might be)… but they’re players that we like to watch.
We start this series with… Renaldo Wynn.

It’s pretty quiet from all quarters, so not a huge amount of news since my First Look. But let’s see if there’s anything happening that’s worth re-evaluating our position at all.
Sinorice Moss looked all set to take the New York Giants starting Wider Reciever position, until he was struck with a Hamstring injury druing the second workout at the Giants mini-camp.
Coach Tom Coughlin said: “It’s unfortunate it’s going to keep him out. He was getting a lot of snaps and he was doing something with them.”
Buried in the autumn schedule information from Fox, almost as much as the news of Bones being renewed was the announcement that former Giant Michael Strahan will be seen on Friday nights in a new sitcom, “Brothers“.
So the first thing to say is that it’s way to early to make any sort of accurate predictions. Way, way, way too early. Most of the players are at home, or working out in small groups. The rookies are starting minicamps and there are plenty of factors that will come into play before the pre-season, let alone the regular season.
However, there are odds posted and it’s worth getting our thoughts together at this stage, so let’s check them out!
