why yes, thank you.

NFC EAST
1) Pheagles: Chip Kelly is the new genius.
2) Cowdudes: Romo era almost over.
3) New Yorsey Giants: Coughlin's last hurrah might be a playoff sneak-in.
4) 'Skins: Hail to the Snyders! D.C. Disfuncion.

NFC NORTH
1) Packers: a few injuries won't stop this monster team.
2) Lions: yes, people, the Lions are a good steady winner.
3) Bears: they have a QB and a coach.
4) Vikings: a real mystery team. I see too many question marx.

NFC SOUTH:
1) Panthers: by default, like last year.
2) Falcons: Matt Ryan alone should be good for 6-8 wins in this league.
3) Saints: Ditto Drew Brees. another poor year might mean housecleaning?
4) Bucs: the team everyone wants for homecoming.

NFC WEST:
1) Seahocks: by default.
2) Rams: Foley could be major major.
3) Cardinals: as far as Carson takes them. has he ever won a playoff game?
4) Neeners: Kapernick gets to be a rebuild foundation.

AFC East
1) Cheatriots: omg I H8 these guys.
2) Bills: go Rex go. hope one of those QBs catches fire.
3) Phins: highly regarded in some circles. we'll see.
4) Jets: looked good in preseason. ha ha!

AFC NORTH
1) RAVENS: Pour me the Kool-Aid. I think someone(s) on O will step up and make plays, and the D-backfield will gel.
2) Squealers: lots of over/unders of 60 this year.
3) Bengals: nine-ten wins, nothing in January. whatever.
4) Brownies: more rebuilding in maybe the toughest division in the league.

AFC South:
1) Colts: Pags/Luck can win a lot of games here if Irsay doesn't meddle.
2) Titans: or maybe the Texans.
3) Texans; or maybe the Titans.
4) Jags: the team Tampa Bay wants for homecoming.

AFC WEST:
1) Chefs; I don't see Andy Reid winning a SB with this bunch, but he can win something.
2) Bronx: I see Peyton's farewell tour as more bitter than sweet.
3) Chargers: another 8-10 wins but no deep run. good but not *that* good.
4) Raiders: another work in progress. if they leave this team alone they might end up with something special.

*Questions*
NFC East: Can Chip's mojo win consistently in the NFC? Can Bradford stay in one piece?
NFC North: Can the Lions break through to the Next Level?
NFC South: Can any of these teams get to 10 wins?
NFC West: Is this the year the Lambs finally assert themselves?
AFC East: Will anyone here beat the Cheatriots?
AFC North: Have the Ravens given Flacco enough weapons?
AFC South: Will Titans (or Texans) break through to ten wins?
AFC West: How long will Peyton's arm last?

The NFC North will field three teams in the playoffs.

Well, Elo disagrees with you...

Of course, this system is also giving SF a 66% chance of beating the Vikings on Monday night, so... not sure that I'm buying off on Elo just yet.
