The league may have never had a QB humming along at home like Brady is right now, and he’ll be there till the Super Bowl. Brady is the top pick overall, but Drew Brees is a close second. He gets an extra game in the Wild Card round, and the Saints are my pick to represent the NFC this season … Michael Vick is a question mark with the balky leg, teams blitzing the living hell out of him and a tough matchup with the Pack in the first round, but the fantasy potential is too much to pass on … Don’t sleep on the Steelers passing game. They now have three dangerous deep threats in rookie receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown along with Mike Wallace and red zone threats in Ward and Miller. If any team is going to knock off the Pats, I think it’s Pittsburgh … Peyton Manning responds well to the Rex Ryan blitz and I think he gets at least two games after beating a Jets team not doing anything well right now … Rodgers is a boom-or-bust pick, I don’t have a hard time seeing the Pack lose this weekend or going all the way … Matt Ryan is a model of consistency, but I have a gut feeling the young Falcons aren’t ready for prime time … I don’t buy the Bears and Cutler is as inconsistent as they come … The Chiefs struggle against good teams. The Ravens passing game is sputtering, but I think Flacco is good for at least two games … Cassel and Sanchez are no more than weak one-shot options for this weekend.
