One bad snap. One misdirection play gone awry.  Everything can change in the blink of an eye in the NFL, where the average career is less than we have fingers on one hand.  Trying to predict this brutal game is a brutally tall task. But every year we do it anyways — because we can — and usually we fail horribly. This year feels different.  This year we asked all 5 of our Juiced Sports NFL Experts to give us their picks for the coming season.  After the jump you’ll see how many of them see things the same way, but not all have the same crystal ball.  This being the unusual year where veteran teams seem more likely to thrive, alot of the picks here may appear safe. And every pick has been adjusted accordingly after Peyton Manning’s injury became possibly season or who knows, career threatening. This much we know: barring a Kurt Warner like miracle there will be no hometown parade in Indy.  But you knew that, because hometown teams don’t even make it to their own Super Bowl.

Two teams will.  But who?
