With less than two weeks before kickoff I'd like to see everyone's thoughts heading into the season (feel free to add categories throughout). Standings: AFC East: N.Y Jets (we finally take the division). N.E Patriots. Buffalo Bills. Miami Dolphins. AFC North: Cincinnati Bengals. Pittsburgh Steelers. Baltimore Ravens. Cleveland Browns. AFC South: Indianapolis Colts. Houston Texans. Jacksonville Jaguars. Tennessee Titans. AFC West: Kansas City Chiefs. Oakland Raiders. Denver Broncos. San Diego Chargers. NFC East: Washington Redskins. N.Y Giants. Philadelphia Eagles. Dallas Cowboys. NFC North: Green Bay Packers. Detroit Lions. Minnesota Vikings. Chicago Bears. NFL South: Carolina Panthers. New Orleans Saints. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Atlanta Falcons. NFC West: Seattle Seahawks. Arizona Cardinals. L.A Rams. San Francisco 49ers. AFC Seeding: #1: Cincinnati Bengals. #2: New York Jets. #3: Kansas City Chiefs. #4: Indianapolis Colts. #5: New England Patriots. #6: Pittsburgh Steelers. (Texans, Raiders & Jaguars on the outside looking in). NFC Seeding: #1: Seattle Seahawks. #2: Carolina Panthers. #3: Green Bay Packers. #4: Washington Redskins. #5: Arizona Cardinals. #6: New Orleans Saints. (Rams, Giants & Buccaneers on the outside looking in). League MVP: Russell Wilson. Cam Newton (Runner-Up). AP Offensive Player of the Year: Russell Wilson. Odell Beckham Jr. (Runner-Up). AP Defensive Player of the Year: Khalil Mack. Luke Kuechly (Runner-Up). AP Offensive Rookie of the Year: Ezekiel Elliott. Corey Coleman (Runner-Up). AP Defensive Rookie of the Year: Jalin Ramsey. Darron Lee (Runner-Up). AP Comeback Player of the Year: Andrew Luck. Dante Fowler Jr. (Runner-Up).
He has looked very promising and imo in great position for success playing behind a monster defensive line. I'm just going with Jalin Ramsey because as an FSU fan I know what he's capable of and can picture him putting up multiple INT's with a boat load of tackles due to his ability to tackle as a CB. But yea, I can also picture Lee putting up big time tackle numbers due to playing behind this D-Line while Harris takes up blocks doing all the dirty work. Lee could also make a living with tackles behind the L.O.S as well and wouldn't be shocked to see Lee put up some INT's with his coverage ability either.
I'm fine with Jalin...kids a beast. Oh....you may wanna pre-update 'Oakland' for 'Las Vegas' . Team just applied for the Las Vegas Radiers copyrights!
haha one more thing...no way Cowboys win the NFCE. oh wait......Romo got injured on 3rd play last night. Which means Dak will be playing. Leave them in 1st place.
Are u serious?? Come on with our schedule. Pencil me in for 6-10 because of the schedule AND we cannot expect duplicate numbers from the QB position.
Fitz has an average season for him Jets will be closer to the 1st overall pick than 32nd Jets fans will cry because we just wasted $12m in cap space on a mediocre QB Bryce Petty starts the last game of the season.
Pats (1) Jets (6) Bills Fins Steelers (2) Bengals (5) Ravens Browns Colts (4) Texans Jags Titans Chiefs (3) Broncos Raiders Chargers WC: Jets over Chiefs, Bengals over Colts Division: Pats over Jets, Steelers over Chiefs Championship: Pats over Steelers Cowboys (4) Giants Skins Eagles Pack (3) Vikings (6) Bears Lions Panthers (1) Falcons Saints Bucs Hawks (2) Cards (5) Rams 49ers WC: Pack over Vikings, Cards over Cowboys Division: Panthers over Cards, Hawks over Pack Championship: Hawks over Panthers SB: Hawks over Pats
Until proven otherwise I have to say NE wins the division. As for the Jets they will battle it out for 2nd place in the division with the Bills. I say 9-7 or 8-8.
I have Andrew Luck as my NFL comeback player of the year along with Dante Fowler Jr as Runner-Up but I can't sleep on Josh Gordon. He's balling out against Tampa Bay right now with RG3 slinging the ball. 2 receptions for 87 yards including a beautiful TD reception. 1 catch was for 44 yards the other 43 yards. Luck. Fowler. Gordon. Three players that I'm expecting to have big time comeback returns.

Super Bowl: Cardinals over Steelers Conf games: Steelers over Patriots Cardinals over Packers Div games: Steelers over Jets Patriots over Jaguars Cardinals over Panthers Packers over Giants WC games: Steelers over Texans Patriots over Bengals Panthers over Cowboys Giants over Vikings Jets win the division by .5 games on a Pats loss to MIA in week 17 and everyone says that they backed into a div championship for a week. And who gives a fuck about those player awards? They are meaningless.
It's just fun to speculate Byz. You predict, and then come back in 5 months to see how close you were. Also weird format starting with the SB, and moving to the Wild Card round.
I think it's meaningless to speculate the player awards because they are decided by a bunch of pencil necked sports writers. Speculating on the actual events of the NFL season and post season are another story. As far as my format, I don't give a shit.
Some years I make this thread. This year I'm not giving enough fucks to make it, or even write a detailed description on each team. So here goes my spur of the moment prediction post with records included as a special bonus for opening this thread. AFC East 1. Patriots 11-5 2. Jets 8-8 3. Bills 6-10 4. Dolphins 5-11 AFC North 1.

Dee isn't going anywhere until after the season as his cap hit will be 5 mil on or off the team. plus when healthy he can play ... that is when healthy lol
Guess i jumped the gun with this thread. Two preseason injuries to Quarterbacks in Tony Romo of Dallas and Teddy Bridgewater of Minnesota just shook up my entire NFC divisional & playoff picture (heading into the regular season). With the Cowboys I had them winning the division as a 4th seed with the return of Romo, a healthy Dez Bryant along with the drafting of Ezekiel Elliott behind their offensive line. But not anymore. I couldn't care less how solid Dak Prescott appeared to be during the preseason, as a rookie I feel he'll struggle against more complex defensive schemes and just the thought of a rookie QB/Rookie HB duo has me dropping Dallas within the standings and completely out of the playoff picture with Romo missing another 6-10 weeks. Same goes for Minnesota. I had them as the 2nd place team out of the NFC North division as well as a 6th seed wildcard team but with Bridgewater out for the season, not anymore. Completely out of the playoff picture moving forward. He's been solid throughout his career but I have no hope for the Vikings with a 36 year old career backup in Shaun Hill potentially starting. AP28 can only do so much. I'm replacing Dallas & Minnesota with Washington and New Orleans in regards to the playoffs. Would've went with the Rams instead of Saints (although can't see 3 NFC West teams all making the playoffs).
