As we approach the playoffs, let's check some of our predictions/choices going into the season against where the teams/players stand today, for the followng:

-- MVP, Offense
-- MVP, Defense
-- Rookie
-- SB matchup

according to:

(1) Your pick going into the season...
(2) Who you'd pick now (if your opinion has changed, based on performance), i.e. "YOUR vote goes to..."
(3) Who, in your opinion, will actually win (not necessarily who you WANT to win)...

My picks:
-- Offensive MVP : (1) Palmer... (2) Brees... (3) LT
-- Defensive MVP : (1) Peppers... (2) Jason Taylor... (3) Merriman
-- Rookie: (1) V. Young... (2) Hester... (3) V. Young
-- SuperBowl: (1) CHI vs NE... (2) NO vs NE... (3) CHI vs NE**
** Yup, I still WANT and THINK that NE (and not SD or BAL) will win the AFC! : )

Finally, beware of the Bengals... could they possibly be the 2006 version of last year's Steelers!!?!

Feel free to discuss whatever...
