Prediction Time

Time for my yearly prediction for the NFL. As usual my disclaimer don't take this seriously if you do it's at your own risk cause I'm usually wrong though I bet Robert will want me to be right...

NFC East
Philadelphia
Dallas
NY Giants
Washington

The Eagles will suffer from the Super Bowl Hangover. But I don't know who is ready to step up. A healthy, non suspended Dallas will be tough as will the Giants but I don't think they are good enough yet.

NFC South
New Orleans
Carolina
Atlanta
Tampa Bay

One of the hardest divisions to call. Anyone of the top 3 can win. Only team I don't think will contend at all is Tampa Bay

NFC North
Green Bay
Minnesota
Chicago
Detroit

Another hard division. Especially since the Bears acquired Mack from the Raiders. I still think it's Green Bay's to lose but again tough to call.

NFC West
Los Angeles Rams
San Francisco
Seattle
Arizona

I hate the Rams. I do. But on paper they got the most talent. Goff and Gurley continue to develop they will be unbeatable.

Playoffs

LA Rams Green Bay, Minnesota, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Carolina

Super Bowl: Rams

AFC East
New England
NY Jets
Miami
Buffalo

It's New England's world. Everyone else in the east lives in it.

AFC South
Jacksonville
Houston
Indianapolis
Tennesee

Another tough division, a healthy Jackson could propel Houston, a healthy Luck can do the same in the Colts. But I still think Jacksonville is tough especially with the defense.

AFC North
Pittsburgh
Baltimore
Cleveland
Cincinnati

That's right Cleveland won't be the worst in the division and NFL anymore.

AFC West
Los Angeles Chargers
Denver Broncos
Kansas City Chiefs
Oakland Raiders

I was all set to give the division to my Raiders.but the way they handled Mack I think the players will revolt. Plus I never thought Gruden was the right hire. Look at what the teams who are coming are doing.. They are hiring young offensive minded coaches. Kansas City could make a run depending on Mahomes. They had a solid qb in Smith.

Playoffs
New England, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, Houston, Los Angeles, Denver

Super Bowl

All because the Rams kept there defensive star and the Raiders did not.

I wouldn't have picked the Raiders if they kept Mack other then winning the Division. Now it's going to be a long year.

Honestly, the Rams are over-hyped. They're good, but I have a feeling there not as good as everyone thinks. Let's see how they are against the run this year.
