TD's Annual NFL Season Picks
I have partaken in the ridiculous task of choosing every game prior to the season. Of course, that's usually asking for disaster. But here goes...
AFC East: New England 11-5
AFC North: Pittsburgh Steelers 13-3
AFC South: Tennessee Titans 12-4
AFC West: San Diego Chargers 11-5
AFC Wildcards: Baltimore Ravens 12-4 and Houston Texans 10-6
NFC East: Philadelphia Eagles 13-3
NFC North: Chicago Bears 14-2
NFC South: Carolina Panthers 9-7
NFC West: Arizona Cardinals 11-5
NFC Wildcards: New York Giants 11-5 and Washington Redskins 11-5
