2017-2018 NFL Predictions
Regular Season Standings-
AFC East
NE 13-3 Not much surprise here as Tom Brady is chasing ring number 6 with possibly an even better team this year.
MIA 7-9 Jay Cutler will not be as brutal as everyone thinks but this team has a long way to go if they want to beat the Patriots.
BUF 5-11 This team has already started rebuilding but is Tyrod Taylor the long-term answer at Quarterback?
NYJ 1-15 This really could be the worst team of all time and if you look at the receivers I bet you have barely heard of any names.
AFC North
PIT 12-4 Big Ben will have a big year with 2 of the best offensive weapons in football, they will be tough to beat.
CIN 8-8 Andy Dalton does not get enough credit but the offensive line lost some key pieces which will really end up hurting this team.
BAL 7-9 The defense will not be the issue but the offense will not be able to put things together all season.
CLE 4-12 They are getting better with lots of young talent but no where close to where they need to be.
AFC South
TEN 10-6 Mariota has plenty to work with and this will be the year that people start talking about the Titans again.
IND 9-7 Andrew does not have enough Luck to stay healthy for a whole year but with an improved defense they will be fighting for a Wild Card spot.
HOU 9-7 The best defense in the division will not be enough as the offensive struggles continue for at least 1 more year.
JAC 5-11 This team is getting better but the main problem is still Blake Bortles and that is not going to change.
AFC WEST
OAK 11-5 Marshawn Lynch is back and he still has something left in the tank and Khalil Mack leads a dangerous defense to the top of the West.
DEN 10-6 Thomas and Sanders do not look as good as they once did at the Wide Receiver position but the defense is good enough to win 10 games.
LAC 8-8 A very underrated defense headlined by Joey Bosa but injuries are too much for this team to handle.
KC 7-9 One of the biggest surprises, Alex Smith does not look good and sooner than later Patrick Mahomes will be the Quarterback.
NFC EAST
NYG 11-5 Eli now has Brandon Marshall and that will help the Giants get back to the playoffs just like last year.
PHI 10-6 Carson Wentz looks like he will be better than Jared Goff and Alshon Jeffery figures out how to stay healthy.
DAL 8-8 Yes Elliott will play but this defense has an awful year while Prescott does not look like he did last season.
WSH 5-11 Kirk is a solid Quarterback but they will struggle way too much in their division this season.
NFC NORTH
GB 12-4 An elite Quarterback leads this team back to the playoffs once again without a strong run game.
MIN 9-7 This defense is flat-out nasty and they lead the Vikings to a tight playoff race in the final weeks of the season.
DET 7-9 Matthew Stafford shows that he earned the money but he will never get to a Super Bowl unless they improve the defense immediately.
CHI 2-14 Concerns with Mitchell Trubisky and an awful defense combine for a terrible season.
NFC SOUTH
ATL 12-4 With the Super Bowl in the rear-view mirror, Matty Ice leads this team to another incredible season.
CAR 10-6 Carolina is back and they look like they did when they went to the Super Bowl against Denver.
NO 9-7 This defense is usually real bad but they finally get some production from this unit and Drew Brees does not miss Brandin Cooks too much.
TB 8-8 Jameis is real good but not good enough to be at the top of a very good and improved division.
NFC WEST
ARZ 11-5 David Johnson leads this team and they outlast the Seahawks in the tiebreaker for the division.
SEA 11-5 This defense might even be better but with no run game they struggle at certain points in the season.
LAR 4-12 The combination of Goff, Gurley, and Watkins does not work out like people hoped it would.
SF 3-13 The only good thing about the season in San Fran is that the future looks a little bright on defense and that is about it.
