NFL Season Preview: Part 1

NFL football is here. Cubs fans can rejoice as they look forward from a lousy Cubs team to a 7-9 Bears team. Yay. First part of my 3 part season preview:

Player award predictions:

MVP: Tom Brady: Fully healthy, and will look to go back to the Super Bowl with the Pats, who will have to overcome a tough division.

Offensive POTY: Chris Johnson: He's back; and still dangerous as ever. Chris will rack up at least another 1,600 yards plus 12 scores.

Defensive POTY: Patrick Willis: Already a top LB in the league, Willis is ready to bring the Niner's D into the big stage.

Comeback Player: Clinton Portis: With Mcnabb and a new offensive scheme in Washington, a change of scenario might just be what this RB needed.

NFL defensive rookie: Eric Berry: The Chief's coaching staff has raved about Berry, saying he already has a veteran's leadership on the field.

Offensive Rookie: CJ Spiller: Could be the steal of the draft, and will get plenty of touches due to injuries in the Bill's backfield.

Coach of the Year: Mike Tomlin: Steelers- Even with Roethlisberger's suspension, Tomlin will find a way to get the Steelers back to the playoffs.

Next Time: Division and Playoff picks
