Article:Peter King...you so crayzeee! Here are his pre-pre-pre-season NFL picks.

Ok, I love football. Love it, love it, love it. But even I think that the 5th of May is a wee early for NFL prognostications. Still, when I saw Peter King's article in Sports Illustrated I did detect a slight stirring in my loins.

In a nutshell, here are his picks:

Personally, I think his Top 10 are fairly accurate seeing that it's hard to go wrong with teams that reload rather than rebuild. I can see some position shifting there, but all in all...not bad. The next 10, given we're 4 months from pre-season and so many arrests...er...adjustments will be made by then, are quite a crap shoot. There may be a few positive surprises in there (Houston and...well Houston) as well as a downer or two (Seattle & New Orleans). Teams 21-32 are where I see some bizarre picks. I think (call it a hunch) that Miami is going to do better that 27th. Kansas City too should end up at least 10 spots higher. Chicago I fear may be in the bottom five unless the ghost of George Halas works his mojo from the great beyond. San Francisco at 28th? No way. Could they win the West? Don't say I didn't warn you.

Anyway, I love NFL picks be they early or late. They make great fodder for discussion. As such, let's discuss.
