Alright, here we go. The season kickoff is about 5 hours away and it's time to post my predictions on how the year will turn out. It should be noted that I'm terrible at this and things never turn out the way that I expect them to, but what the hell, it's fun to act like I know what I'm doing. So here it goes:

1. New England 15-1
2. New York Jets 11-4

Breaking news from the NFL Network. Daunte Culpepper has announced his retirement from the league. In an email he sighted his inability to land a job as the reason for his retirement. The email was actually quite sad as Culpepper expressed extreme disappointment at not being able to resurrect his career.

Here are his career numbers:

Completions - 1,867

Attempts - 2,927

Completion Percentage - 63.8

Yards - 22,422

Average - 7.7

TD - 142
