Next season predictions
Posted: Mon May 02, 2016 4:15 am
AFC North
Steelers 11-5 too much offense and a slight improvement
on defense beats out Bengals
Bengals 9-7 wild card lowest seed
overall depth and early season wins get them in the dance
Baltimore 7-9
still fixing issues since superbowl winning
team they play spoiler this season
Browns 3-13
team has too many weak spots and plays in a
pretty good division.
AFC South (most improved division)
Houston 11-5
their defense and added weapons on offense win them some games
I am not convinced the team wins that division in two seasons
Jacksonville 10-6
improving offense and a good off season bring right to the top of AFC wildcard
and the way they are improving I think they win the division before two long.
The Colts 8-8
they win some games and need more weapons to get to the playoffs
Titans 6-10
they improve but have a ways to go, still.
AFC EAST
Patriots 10-6 tom Brady missing hurts them but I think they
still win the division
Jets 8-8 Unless they sign their QB back I don't see them winning
more games than they lose.
Miami 6-10
defense improves but they find ways to loose games still and their
coaching staff can't beat several divisional teams.
Buffalo 6-10
Rex's magic begins to fade again but they win some close ones.
AFC west
Bronco's 10-6
their offense is worse and the raiders are improving but I think
they win the division again.
Raiders 9-7 (possible wildcard)
a few things bounce their way and they slide in front of K.C.
into a wildcard spot
Kansas City 9-7
love their defense but they have some limited depth and an
average offense compared to other teams
San Diego 5-11
not a horrible team but not a complete team and
I think the stepchild of their division
NFC South
Carolina 11-5 faces a weaker divsion
and have some really great players.
Tampa 9-7 miss playoffs
win games and play spoiler for some teams
Atlanta 7-9
average team that does not play consistent enough
to beat better teams
New Orleans
5-11 not a good team and Drew Brees
can't make up for that weak defense
NFC east
Dallas 10-6 if romo stays healthy most season
not good defense but decent offense
Redskins 8-8
they snuck in last season and don't beat a healthy
dallas
Giants 6-10
Eli wins a few games but their depth and coaching
have them medicore, at best
Philly
5-11
still paying for the Chip Kelly era...
NFC North
vikings 12-4 defense and improved offense drag us ahead
a GB team for a second season
Green Bay 11-5
still have Rodgers and a bad defense
Chicago 7-9
Bears defense continues to improve and Cutler still losses
games for bears
Detroit 5-11 No Calvin hurts them
their team grows weaker compared
to division
NFC West
Arizona 12-4 Good offense and Defense and excellent
coaching slide them past seattle
Seattle 10-6
good team but the Rams swept them last season
and Arizona can at least win one game against them
Rams 7-9
talented team but extra road games and a young QB
cost them again.
49ers 3-13
Chip Kelly endures another bad season
and Kapernick suffers horrible season
