In the words of Santana Moss, "We are all geeked."

Yes, the NFL season is just about here, kicking off tonight in New York with the defending Super Bowl Champ Giants facing off against the Washington Redskins and their new head coach Jim Zorn.

We'll get into the specifics of this game and all the week one contests later, but first it's time to go on record with your Super Bowl XLIII predictions.

Vegas has posted the most recent odds and once again it's the New England Patriots who are favored to lift the Lombardi Trophy in Tampa. Are you going with the favorite again, or a longer shot like last year's Giants?

Here's the top odds to win the Super Bowl:

7/2    New England Patriots
6/1    Dallas Cowboys
7/1    San Diego Chargers
15/2  Indianapolis Colts
13/1  Jacksonville Jaguars
14/1  Minnesota Vikings
16/1  New Orleans Saints
20/1  New York Giants
25/1  Seattle Seahawks
25/1  Philadelphia Eagles
25/1  New York Jets

Anyone else as stunned as I am to see the Saints up there at 16-to-1 odds? Who's putting money down on that? And just for the record, I won't be wagering on the Chicago Bears at 40/1. Wouldn't do it for 300/1.

Before we get to my pick and yours, here's a look at all the experts that have gone on record. We'll update as they do:

John Clayton (ESPN): Chargers over Cowboys
Matt Mosley (Hashmarks): Patriots over Cowboys
Gene Wojciechowski (ESPN): Patriots over Eagles
Seth Wickersham (ESPN Mag): Colts over Saints
Peter King (SI): Patriots over Cowboys
Dr. Z (SI): Patriots over Eagles
Don Banks (SI): Chargers over Saints
Pete Prisco (CBS): Colts over Saints
Skip Wood (USA Today): Jets over Packers ... funny guy
Dan Shanoff (Sporting News): Patriots over Cowboys
Bill Simmons (Page 2): Jaguars over Cowboys
Jay Glazer (Fox): Cowboys over Patriots

Now it's your turn. If you haven't already, a comprehensive NFL picks poll is attached below. It looks like the FanIQ community's pick is the Patriots over Cowboys.

As for myself, despite my better judgment, I believe this is the year Tony Romo delivers in the playoffs. His lack of wide receiver depth is concerning heading into the season, but with a strong running game and improved defense they'll work it out and have home field advantage throughout the NFC. My small curveball is that the Cowboys will defeat the Colts, not the Patriots in Super Bowl XLIII.
