Ahhhhhhh yes, the NFL season is finally upon us. As always, the couple months between the end of NBA season and the start of NFL were brutal but we’re here and its a glorious day. The Bears made plenty of exciting moves this off season, leaving me with the most optimism I’ve had in recent memory. With the first game kicking off tonight it’s time for some predictions.
Division Champs:
AFC East: New England Patriots – No shit amiright
AFC North: Pittsburgh Steelers – With or without Bell, it doesn’t matter
AFC South: Houston Texans – I expect the Jags D to take slight step back
AFC West: San Diego Chargers – “It means a whales vagina”
NFC East: Dallas Cowboys
Bold Prediction: The Eagles Superbowl hangover is too much to overcome. Wentz crumbles under the pressure of Big Dick Nick breathing down his neck and the Cowboys, behind Ezekiel Elliot’s 20 touchdowns take the Division.
NFC North: Minnesota Vikings – Perhaps the most balanced team top to bottom in the NFL
NFC South: New Orleans Saints – Spoiler: Drew Brees MVP
NFC West: LA Rams – Still not a Goff believer but I don’t see the others taking them out
AFC Wild Cards: Jacksonville Jags & Denver Broncos
NFC Wild Cards: CHICAGO BEARS & Atlanta Falcons
AFC Champs: Pittsburgh Steelers
NFC Champs: Atlanta Falcons
Superbowl Champ: Atlanta Falcons – This time they will run the ball in the 4th quarter
Awards:
MVP: Drew Brees
DPOY: Kahlil Mack
OROY: Saquon Barkley
DROY: Derwin James
COY: Matt Nagy
Week 1 Free Play: Atlanta +1
