2013 NFL awards and Super Bowl Predictions

Here we are, part 3 of our 2013 NFL Predictions.  We broke down the divisions earlier, now let's see who will advance as well as who takes home the awards trophies this season.

MVP:  Arian Foster, Houston - He will be 27 when the season starts, but has just over 1,000 career carries and will enter the season as the feature guy for Houston and should be healthy, assuming he's over the calf injury from OTAs.

Defensive POY - Geno Atkins, Cincinnati - Atkins is no longer off the radar as a defensive force.  He registered 12.5 sacks in 2012 as a DT, and is a huge run stuffer in the middle as well.  More outside pass rush with James Harrison to go along with the return of Michael Johnson will allow Big Geno to wreak havoc this season.

Offensive ROY - Tavon Austin, St Louis - The Rams moved up for Austin in the draft and have been desperate for a playmaking WR.  Austin will be the #1 guy for Sam Bradford and I think he goes for 60+ catches and 1,000 yards as a rookie.

Defensive ROY - Bjoern Werner, Indianapolis - Werner will pick up where Dwight Freeney left off and could approach double figure sacks.  His presence will be key in the Colts season as their D must improve if they want to advance in the postseason.
