My fearless 2016 NFL predictions.

Post by Reservoir_Dog »

AFC

East

New England: 11-5 – Weak at wide receiver. No Brady for 4 games. A group of no-name running backs. But “The Hoodie” will figure something out. And ... everyone else in the East sucks.
New York: 9-7 – The window came and went. There’s a reason they only signed Fitzpatrick for one year.
Buffalo: 8-8 – That defense will win them 8 games. But that’s all they’ll win.
Miami: 6-10 – New coach ... new GM ... new system ... fugetaboutit! I almost feel sorry for Tannehill. All that talent ... being wasted.

West


Kansas City: 10 - 6 – A steady “working man’s” team that will make very few mistakes. And good coaching helps.
Denver: 9-7 – One word .... Sanchez.
Oakland: 9-7 – Everyone is talking about the Raiders. I think they’re a year or two away.
San Diego: 5-11 – Weak everywhere. It’s a shame Rivers will never go to a Super Bowl.

North

Pittsburgh: 12-4 – Depth could be an issue, but if they stay healthy they’re Super Bowl contenders.
Baltimore: 10-6 – Great defense. Great coach. They’ll be in the hunt.
Cincinnati: 10 -6 – Lost too many good guys and had a huge brain drain in the coaching staff. And let’s face it, Andy Dalton is cursed.
Cleveland: 0-16 - Worst. Team. Ever.

South

Houston: 11-5 - They went 9-7 last year using more quarterbacks than KFC has chickens. This year they have a quarterback. That's good enough for 2 more wins in a weak division.
Indianapolis: 8 -8 - They had very important holes to fill and they didn’t fill them. But they get Luck back. Good luck with that.
Jacksonville: 8 -8 - Yeah, they had a really, really good draft. But let's not go all stupid here.
Tennessee: 6-10 - Yeah, they had a really good draft. But let's not go all stupid here.

NFC

East

Washington: 10-6 – Yup. I’m a Redskins fan. And, I’m going all-in on Kirk Cousins.
Dallas: 9-7 - I don't believe for one second that Romo will play in 16 games.
New York: 8-8 – Spend ... spend ... spend. Money don’t buy you love, baby.
Philadelphia: 6-10 - Hey, I have a great idea! Let's completely alienate our grossly overpaid, mediocre starting Quarterback!

West

Arizona: 13-3 – Bruce Arians is the best coach in the NFL when it comes to getting every ounce out of every player.
Seattle: 10-6 - Questions at wide receiver and running back. And that O-line looks terrible. Wilson is going to be running for his life. Good thing he can run.
St. Louis: 7-9 – They could have an elite defense. Unfortunately, the rest of the team is a complete mess.
San Francisco: 3-13 – Somewhere, Joe Montana is in a dark corner, curled up in a fetal position, quietly sobbing.

North

Green Bay: 14-2 – Their only weakness is at linebacker. Aaron Rodgers is the best Quarterback in football. And yeah, a cream-puff .457 strength of schedule sure doesn’t hurt.
Minnesota: 11-5 – Which Teddy Bridgewater will we see? Future superstar Teddy ... or flighty prom queen Teddy? I’m betting on future superstar Teddy.
Chicago: 8-8 – Mediocrity, thy name is Chicago.
Detroit: 7-9 – Just too many holes. And yeah, there’s that whole thing with Megatron leaving town.

South

Carolina: 15-1 – They get handed 6 wins just by playing in the NFC South. Can they win 9 of 10 outside of the NFC South? With a .512 strength of schedule ... sure, why not?
Atlanta: 8-8 – A team in flux ... and the hardest schedule in the league.
New Orleans: 7-9 – Brees is just padding his stats at this point.
Tampa Bay: 7-9 – There’s talent here. There’s just too many questions with that coaching staff.

AFC Championship:
Pittsburgh Steelers vs Houston Texans

NFC Championship:
Carolina Panthers vs Green Bay Packers

Super Bowl:
Carolina Panthers vs Pittsburgh Steelers

Super Bowl Winner:
Pittsburgh Steelers

overall, your assessments are sound, but my end-game take:

AFC playoff teams--

Pats, Steelers (bye)
Texans, Chiefs divisionals
Indy and Baltimore wildcards

Pats v Baltimore in AFC champ


NFC playoff teams--
Pack, Arizona (bye)
Eagles, Carolina divisionals
Rams, Vikings wildcards

Pack v Arizona in NFC Champ

Supah Bowl--Pats over Packers


surprise team, Rams

yes, but you are WAY off putting the Skins ahead of the Iggles. The local boys are showing some promise behind a seemingly motivated Sam Bradford.

It's a shame he's got no one to throw to. The Eagles have one of the worst WR corps in the league!
