Every NFL season brings surprises, and there is no doubt that this season will be no different. If you want a head start on what to expect in 2008, check out these bold predictions for the 2008 NFL season.
20. Michael Vick will finally throw 30 touchdown passes this season. Unfortunately it will be with the U.S. Penitentiary team in Leavenworth, Kansas. 19. Adam “Pacman” Jones will consult with Don Imus on potential new nicknames. 18. After Jason Campbell and Todd Collins prove ineffective, Colt Brennan becomes the Redskins quarterback. 17. Matt Millen, trying to make up for all of those wasted first-round picks on wide receivers, signs Rod Tidwell. 16. The 2008 Fantasy MVP will be Adrian Peterson. 15. The New England Patriots will lose their first game in San Diego on October 12, when Antonio Gates catches a Hail Mary pass as time expires. A New England camera man will get a shot showing Gates was actually out of bounds, creating “Gates-gate”. 14. Chad Henne will not be the next Tom Brady. 13. Chad Johnson will announce that he’s sick of the NFL, will join the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League, and change his name to Quatre-Vingt-Cinq. 12. New Atlanta Falcons Head Coach Mike Smith will coach more games than his predecessor, Bobby Petrino. 11. The Jaguars will announce a move to Los Angeles before the season ends. 10. Tennessee, Seattle and Green Bay will not make the playoffs this season. 9. Cleveland, St. Louis, and Arizona will. 8. If Brett Favre plays for another team, it will be the Miami Dolphins, although the Minnesota Vikings would be the most intriguing storyline. 7. The New York media will call for Eric Mangini’s firing after the Jets start 3-7. 6. The first player fined this season for flashing a gang sign will be Peyton Manning. 5. It will be learned that when Tony Romo vacations in Los Cabos, he registers under the pseudonym ‘Ron Mexico’. 4.

3. You will wish you would have taken Marion Barber III. 2. Neither New England nor the New York Giants will be in this year’s Super Bowl. 1. Indianapolis and Dallas will play in the Super Bowl, with the Colts winning 35-24. MORE: Rashard Mendenhall will be starting for the Steelers by the end of October, draft accordingly. Braylon Edwards will be the number one fantasy wide receiver this year. Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart will be top 10 fantasy quarterbacks this season. Donovan McNabb and Matt Hasselbeck won’t. Fantasy owners will target Ryan Torain because he plays in Denver, but the better pick would be Chris Johnson of Tennessee. Steve Smith (CAR), Wes Welker, Brandon Marshall, and Greg Jennings should be avoided on draft day. Take Torry Holt, Santonio Holmes, Patrick Crayton, and Anthony Gonzalez instead. Draft J.J. Arrington and Robert Meachem late and stash them on your bench. You don’t need any special fortune-telling skills to predict where Matt Wirkiowski will be once his Super Bowl prediction occurs, he’ll be on a beach in the Caribbean!
