Nfl Tickets - A Few Safe Bets For The 2010 Season

We all know the NFL is one of the most unpredictable sports leagues out there

, but each year there are always a couple things that appear to be a safe bet heading into the season. Let's take a look at few results you should be able to write down in pen before we kickoff in 2010.

The Chargers will win the division - again:

Even though the Raiders have made a tremendous improvement to their team by bringing in Jason Campbell at quarterback, the rest of the division is still largely in rough shape outside of San Diego. Denver is still relying on Kyle Orton to get the job done but just took away his best weapon, Brandon Marshall, and the Chiefs just don't have the overall talent to compete with the Chargers. It won't necessarily be easy for the Chargers due to the very real possibility that Marcus McNeill and Vincent Jackson will be out for more than half the season, but they have far and away the best quarterback in the league; in a quarterback dominant league, that should be enough in a weak division.

Chris Johnson will have a significant regression from last year:

After breaking the single season record for most yards from scrimmage in 2009, expectations are enormous for CJ this year. The problem for Johnson is that the amount of touches could start catching up to him. Though Johnson's speed and ability to find holes have made him a dominant player in the league, his small frame and climbing number of hits is not a great combination. Backs almost universally have a sizeable decline in the year following a 2,000-yard rushing season, and it seems that that should happen with Johnson in 2010. Even if he does regress, however, Johnson is still one of the elite backs in the league and still could put up 2,000 combined yards in 2010, which would certainly continue to sell NFL tickets.

The Giants will be better than anticipated:

Everyone in the NFC East is talking about the Dallas Cowboys and maybe the Philadelphia Eagles. The team that everyone seems to be sleeping on is the Giants, who come off a very disappointing 2009 season but have all the pieces to make a run at the playoffs. Eli Manning is still a viable quarterback and he now has a group of young and talented wideouts that has started to come together nicely. Brandon Jacobs may not be a great fantasy running back but he's still a bruiser and will have Ahmad Bradshaw to help carry the load. Don't forget that the Giants are a team that won the Super Bowl in 2007, won the division in 2008 and then started the 2009 season 5-0. The Giants have the offensive line and the quarterback to get them into the playoffs in 2010.

Aaron Rodgers will finish the season as a truly elite quarterback:

The truth is that Rodgers should already be in this company but typically isn't considered one of the very top quarterbacks in the league because he has yet to win a title; Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady all have their rings and Rodgers has yet to get his. But Rodgers is also just now entering his prime and I wouldn't be surprised at all if he was the best quarterback in the league for the next couple seasons. In his first two years starting in the league, Rodgers has averaged 29 touchdowns and just 10 interceptions while also consistently proving that he knows when to take off and run for a first down. As long as he stays healthy, Rodgers' potential is nearly unlimited.
