Post yours up...I know mds has been bugging me for mine all week.
AFC EAST
1. New England
2. Miami
3. Buffalo
4. NY Jets
It would not shock me if Miami was in the division race until the last week or two because of their defense and Tannehill's improvements. The Dolphins undoing will be their OL though.
AFC NORTH
1. Steelers
2. Ravens
3. Bengals
4. Browns
I do not feel comfortable with the Steelers because of how lousy their defense looked last night. But once they have Bell and Bryant back their offense should be enough to overcome that. I don't like what Baltimore looked like in the pre-season. The bloom fully comes off the Andy Dalton rose this year and the Browns, while better, cannot climb from the basement.
AFC SOUTH
1. Indianapolis
2. Jacksonville
3. Houston
4. Tennessee
Indy's OL and DL are not very good. Any one of the Texans, Jags or Colts could win this division. The Gus Bus is on the way up but Bortles needs another year of seasoning and having Hoyer as the starter won't get Houston over the top so Indy prevails because of Luck.
AFC WEST
1. Kansas City
2. San Diego
3. Denver
4. Oakland
So this one was tough. Denver in third you say?! Yeah I originally had them in second...but I know they aren't winning the division. I don't like Kubiak as a HC and I think Peyton's arm isn't enough to put a team on and carry it. Oakland is on the way up and next year they'll be in the hunt for a wild card.
AFC PLAYOFFS
6 Baltimore vs 3 Indianapolis : BALTIMORE
5 Miami vs 4 Pittsburgh : MIAMI
6 Baltimore vs 1 New England : NEW ENGLAND
5 Miami vs 2 Kansas City : KANSAS CITY
2 Kansas City vs 1 New England : NEW ENGLAND
NFC EAST
1. Philadelphia
2. Dallas
3. New York
4. Washington
The Eagles and Dallas are head and shoulders above the other two. Of course this all hinges on the secondary not being as bad as last year and Bradford staying healthy. Sanchez is good for one or two games but if he's in there for extended action then its ovah...
NFC NORTH
1. Green Bay
2. Minnesota
3. Detroit
4. Chicago
The Vikings are on the way up thanks to Teddy B maturing and having Peterson back. I like Zimmer as a coach and think that they'll play well this season. The Nelson injury for GB is tough but having Davante Adams step in should take that edge off...plus Aaron Rodgers is a machine. I do not like Jim Caldwell and think Stafford has not shown he can be "the guy" and take his game to the next level. He'll put up nice numbers but when it comes down to making the big play in the crunch...no dice. Chicago isn't winning shtein until they rid themselves of Mr Cutler.
NFC SOUTH
1. New Orleans
2. Carolina
3. Atlanta
4. Tampa Bay
Once again the worst division in football. It would be nice to just not have one of these dumpster fires in the playoffs. New Orleans wins by default...barely. If Gettleman gave Rivera and Cam any WR depth then maybe the Panthers win because of their defense...but it'll be Cam throwing to dudes who probably belong in the CFL with Tebow. Atlanta and their OL cannot overtake anyone. Same goes for the Bucs. Romey's homey, Jameis, will have some good moments but like many rookie QBs he will have some awful picks and take a beating.
NFC WEST
1. St. Louis
2. Seattle
3. Arizona
4. San Francisco
I readily admit this is crazy and will likely be SEA-ARZ-STL or ARZ-SEA-STL but I am taking a shot because of the Rams defense and potential running game. Picky Foles can be a game manager and make safe throws as long as he's protected and not back pedaling and throwing awful picks like last year. I think some of the shine is off the Seahawks and I just don't like the way Arizona is put together.
NFC PLAYOFFS
6 Dallas vs 3 St Louis : DALLAS
5 Seattle vs 4 New Orleans : SEATTLE
6 Dallas vs 1 Green Bay : GREEN BAY
5 Seattle vs 2 Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA
2 Philadelphia vs 1 Green Bay : GODDAMN RIGHTADELPHIA

COME AT ME, BRO
:-D :-D :-D
St Louis over Seattle? No.
The rest of your picks are good.
I like St. Louis's D and Gurley could just blow it up other than that their o line blows and Foles isn't good so no.
I think Seattle takes a little step back. And I like the Rams defense quite a bit
being a foot away from winning the sb to losing the division to the rams is more than a step back

Exactly
Agree with j they'll take a step back but they'll still win their division. I'd actually rank the Cards second. Palmers under rated and if he can stay healthy they're easily a wildcard contending team.
Teams I expect to be 2+ games better than last year:
NYJ, JAC, KC, OAK, MIN, ATL, TB
Teams I expect to be 2+ games worse than last year:
BUF, PIT, CLE, HOU, WAS (lol), DET, ARI, SF
I expect everyone else to be about the same, at least before injuries.
j picked the eagles to win the super bowl? whhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaa

you do just fine all by yourself
I like that it bothers you so much that I want my favorite team to be good.
Wanna look at the other predictions too or keep up the good fight against those pesky homers?

every eagle fan wants them to be good....not everyone is galactically delusional tho
No one is happier when the Eagles fail than you dude.

first off, we would go to fx or hbo or some classy shtein.
anyway, you cant predict them to win the super bowl and be a juggernaut, then chalk it all up to "im a fan" or whatever 4th grade BS youre shooting for. youre a grown man...own this. you are a giant homer and cant see things clearly. its cool. just own that shtein.

Oh yeah? I think it goes without saying that Chip has been atrocious. Do I really need to say he's been terrible for you busy to feel all warm and fuzzy?
