since everyone else is doing it I thought i should join in the fun :D

This is how I think everyone will finish at the end of the year.

Playoff teams:

1. Seattle Seahawks: Super Bowl champions.
Regular Season record: 12-4
MVP: RB Marshawn Lynch
Biggest strength: Defensive secondary.
Biggest question mark: Offensive line.
Breakout player: WR Golden Tate
Why they win: Arguably the most complete team in football, can pound the ball, air out the ball, stuff the run, and have #1 secondary in football.

2. Denver Broncos: Superbowl Losers
Regular Season Record: 13-3
MVP: QB Peyton Manning
Biggest Strength: Passing Attack
Biggest Question: Running Game
Breakout Player: TE Julius Thomas (ok this is kind of cheating :P)
Why they lose: Can that running game take any pressure off Manning in the playoffs? Will the defense be as good as last year?

3. San Fransisco: Loses in the NFC championship game.
Regular Season Record: 11-5
MVP: QB Colin Kaepernick
Biggest Strength: Defensive front 7
Biggest Question mark: Injuries (both past and future ex: Colin Kaepernick in the running game)
Breakout Player: FS Eric Reid
Why they lose: Can they withstand the injury bug which they seem to have? Will Kaepernick avoid injury running the option? Does Frank Gore have enough in the tank?

4. Atlanta Falcons: Loses in NFC Divisional Round
Record: 12-4
MVP: QB Matt Ryan
Biggest Strength: Passing Attack
Biggest Question: Defense
Breakout Player: DB Desmond Trufant
Why they lose: Can that defense stop opposing offenses at least 3 times a game? Does Steven Jackson have enough left in the tank?

5. Green Bay Packers: Loses in NFC Divisional Round
Regular Season Record: 11-5
MVP: QB Aaron Rodgers
Biggest Strength: Passing game
Biggest Question: Running Game
Breakout Player: TE Jermichael Finley
Why they lose: Will a real running back please stand up? Its been 43 games without a 100 yard rusher in a game.

6. Cincinnati Bengals: Loses in AFC Championship game.
Regular Season Record: 12-4
MVP: WR A.J. Green
Biggest Strength: Wide Recievers/Tight Ends
Biggest Question: Can Andy Dalton be a playoff winning QB?
Breakout player: RB Giovani Bernard
Why they lose: Is Andy Dalton ready for the big time? Will he ever be? There are also some questions on the defensive side of the ball.

7. Houston Texans: Lose in AFC Divisional Round
Regular Season Record: 13-3
MVP: RB Arian Foster
Biggest Strength: Running Game
Biggest Question: Quarter Back
Breakout Player: WR DeAndre Hopkins
Why they lose: Matt Schaub is not a playoff quarterback. Once again Houston will get a first round bye yet make a early exit because of mistakes at quarterback and a questionable defensive secondary.

8. New England Patriots: Lose in AFC Divisional Round
Regualar Season Record: 11-5
MVP: QB Tom Brady
Biggest Strenth: Quarter Back
Biggest Question: Everyone else not named Brady or Wilfork
Breakout player: WR Kenbrell Thompkins
Why they lose: Their entire offense besides Brady is a question mark. Will Gronk be Gronk again? Can that secondary stop anybody?

9. Indianapolis Colts: Lose in AFC Wildcard Round
Record: 10-6
MVP: QB Andrew Luck
Biggest Strength: Passing Attack
Biggest Question: Defense
Breakout Player: WR T.Y Hilton
Why they lose: Will the defense be able to get enough stops? Will Bradshaw be able to run like he did a few years ago? Will Luck have to throw 50 times a game to win?

10. New Orleans Saints: Lose in NFC Wildcard Round
Regular Season Record: 10-5
MVP: QB Drew Brees
Biggest Strength: Passing Attack
Biggest Question Mark: Running Game
Breakout Player: WR Kenny Stills
Why they lose: Will the running game be able to keep defenses honest? Can they stop anybody from scoring?

11. New York Giants: Lose in NFC Wildcard Round
MVP: WR Hakeem Nicks
Biggest Strength: Passing Attack
Biggest Question: Running Game
Breakout Player: DB Prince Amukamara
Why they lose: Will their defense be able to stop the top passing attacks? Will the running game be able to generate a consistent attack?

12. Baltimore Ravens: Lose in AFC Wildcard Round
Regular Season Record: 10-6
MVP: RB Ray Rice
Biggest Strength: Running Game
Biggest Question: Pass Defense
Breakout Player: OLB Courtney Upshaw
Why they lose: The perfect storm that was last years playoff run doesnt occur again. Will trading Boldin come back to haunt the Ravens? Can Dumerville and Suggs continue their success? Will the secondary be able to stop the top quarterbacks?

Just missed the cut:

13. Washington Redskins
14. Miami Dolphins
15. St. Louis Rams
16. Minnesota Vikings
17. Kansas City Chiefs
18. Tennesse Titans
19. Chicago Bears
20. Dallas Cowboys

Never Really In Contention:

21. Carolina Panthers
22. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
23. Cleveland Browns
24. Pittsburgh Steelers
25. Detroit Lions

There's always next year.

26. Philadelphia Eagles
27. San Diego Chargers
28. Arizona Cardinals
29. Buffalo Bills

Its going to be a looooonnnng year

30. Jacksonville Jaguars
31. Oakland Raiders

Winner of the Jadaveon Clowney Sweepstakes

32. NY Jets

So there you go Frodo's stone, cold, locks for the upcoming NFL Season.

P.S. if you want i can give more specifics on the non-playoff teams but its getting late :P
