MVP
Adrian Peterson
I do not like picking a repeat winner of an award, and rarely do it, but AD is the best. Peterson is an absolute animal, if he is healthy, I see him doing big things. Could he break the rushing record for a year? Probably not, but he will have another monster year if he stays healthy.

Coach of the Year
Jeff Fisher
Everyone is very high on the Seahawks and the 49ers. One of those two teams are who most people are picking to win it all. Almost everyone has both of these teams making the playoffs. I do not have that prediction. I have the 49ers winning it all, but I think St. Louis passes Seattle this year. Sam Bradford establishes himself and the Rams make the playoffs. All of these happening make Jeff Fisher the Coach of the Year. Although Doug Marrone getting the Bills into the playoffs might win this award. That all depends on EJ Manuel's health though. I have been high on EJ and think if healthy the Bills take it. However, with EJ's knee injury, I am a little more confident in my Rams pick, so I will go with Fisher. I wouldn't be surprised if St. Louis won the division.

5 Bold Guarantees outside of records
My main guarantee was that Percy Harvin would get hurt, but that already happened so...
1)  EJ Manuel is Rookie of the Year.
2) Vernon Davis will have double digit touchdowns
3) Christian Ponder throws for multiple touchdowns in a Minnesota playoff win.
4) Anquan Boldin has another Super Bowl Catch and is Super Bowl MVP.
5) Mario Williams will finish top 5 in the NFL in sacks.

Bonus Guarantee: CJ Spiller has 2500+ yards between rushing and receiving
