Eric Allen picks Russell Wilson to win regular season MVP

Believe he's the only one to do that

Rest of the ESPN picks if you are interested in reading and then probably commentating that Andrew Luck sucks.

Eric Allen, for whatever reason, has been historically kind to the Seahawks over the years. Always noticed that. Like the Miami Herald.

The one thing that blows me away about that summary is the number of people picking the Ravens to come out of the AFC. They must see something I don't.

I seriously don't people picking Luck over Watt or Rodgers it's beyond stupid.

AFC South

Way too many people picking the Packers as NFL champion. The year they did win, they were much more of a complete team. If Rodgers went down in practice tomorrow they'd be a 5-11 team. Every single time they face a team in the playoffs that marginalizes Rodgers, they get eliminated.

And while I think Rodgers is a better overall QB than Brady, Rodgers is easier to knock off his game than Brady is.

He's making a logically reasoned guess but I wouldn't put any money on it. Marshawn has a better chance at winning that award IMO. MVP is difficult to predict. RW won't have the stats to get the votes.

I can totally see the Colts going 13-3, but the not having a defense thing will kill them in January.

I do think Wilson has a chance in heck of Wining MVP no matter how well he plays. It will be Luck because he is the anointed one. Personally I do think Indy will even get to the AFCCG. When it comes down to it I do not trust Luck in the playoffs

MVP's almost always have flashy numbers.. I just don't think Wilson will ever put up the passing stats necessary to dwarf a Rodgers, Luck, Peyton, Brees etc for an MVP. At least not as long as Marshawn is in the backfield.

7 people pick the Seahawks to win the SB
6 people pick the eagles to win the SB
Feels like the eagles are the clever pick to win this year, I don't see it

What is with that Packers boner those analysts have? What do they think suddenly puts them over the Hawks? The Nelson injury?

Yeah, I see this as a definite possibility.

Like the Chiefs in 2003 or even Seattle in 2005. Feast on a weak division and bloat a great record despite their flaws.

Colts DLine is trash. Those guys are usually pretty important come playoff time.

Can someone explain to me why the Pack are heavily favored to win the SB? Nelson is gone for the year, have they improved THAT much over the off season. I think the main reason most people don't pick Seahawks to win it is because it is rare to make it 3 times in a row. They all know they are the best overall team...

The fact they had us on the ropes before screwing up 5x with a gimpy Rodgers probably has something to do with it.
