But these aren’t the only forecasts I am pulling together today.I also will give you this seasons 2012 AFC champion, the NFC champion and theSuper Bowl winner. As well as I also give you your 2012 MVP, Offensive Rookieof the Year, Defensive Rookie of the Year, and Coach of the Year predictions.

Offensive Rookie of the Year- Doug Martin (RB, Tampa BayBuccaneer) I think the speedy running back easily ends up with 9+ TDs, andclose to 1200+ rushing yards, especially after the injury riddled off season ofthe other big time RB in Cleveland.

Defensive Rookie of the Year- Morris Claiborne (CB, DallasCowboys) I believe can with no trouble end up with 50+ tackles, 4+ picks andwill a huge asset the field with hungry diligence the Cowboys are in restless desperationfor pass coverage.

Coach of the Year- John Harbaugh (Baltimore Ravens) After 4 solidyears, and his 44-20 record with the team speaks for itself, it will come tofruition this season. The Ravens make the playoffs with a fresh position, aftera tricky schedule.

MVP of the year – Tom Brady (QB, New England Patriots) Always a deadlythreat on the field in the NFL, especially over the last 3 out of 4 healthy seasons,this year he shows why he is far from forgotten, when he throws 44+ TDs andover 5400 yards.

AFC Champion- The Houston Texans, the team that everyone expectsmore from every year, have built this team over the last 4 seasons and will inconclusion rise to the next level they should to get to.

NFC Champion- The San Francisco 49ers, have top quality defense,picked up seemingly every available WR for Alex Smith to throw to, to open thepassing game a bit, and a running game which will rely more on balance thisyear. This year they are even hungrier, after getting beaten 20-17 in the NFCChampionship in a brutal game.

Super Bowl Champion- The San Francisco 49ers are ready to rejoice.It’s been almost 20 years for the team to show its Super Bowl pride again. JimHarbaugh will show the world, that proper teamwork and defense can still wintitles as well.
