Well, uh...good luck on the AFC East prediction...

I'll show up for the first time in forever to throw some NFC South predictions out

#1: Saints

#2: Panthers

#3: Falcon

#4: Bucs


It's going to be a good year i think. Tannehill finally has a decent line with good receivers. Defense is always our strentgh(LBs are little weak). Knowshon looked great against Dallas. With New England's stubbornness giving Tom less and less weapons I see them having a year where it might be time to re-think not paying a talent or drafting one on the offensive side besides the O-line. Jets QB and WR situation is pathetic and they stink in the secondary. Buffalo is the tricky team can't figure them out.

I'll give you that Buffalo and New York will be garbage, but barring a huge number of massive injuries, there's no way New England will be worse this year. Brady was playing last year with Julian Edelman and a bunch of rookie receivers. All those receivers now have a year of experience, plus Gronkowski is back at the start of the season (granted he's a big question with his health), and the Patriots now have a reasonably good second TE option in Tim Wright, meaning they can possibly run that double TE offense they ran back in 2011 when they were putting up 40 points a game consistently. On top of all that, the defense is vastly improved, most notably with the acquisition of Revis, but also with drafting Dominique Easley and getting a number of defense players back (Wilfork being the big one). 

Even with everything that went wrong for the Patriots, they still went 12-4 last year. That isn't to make an excuse for anything, injuries are part of the NFL. The point is that the Patriots probably won't see the same string of injuries, and they've improved their team from last year's version as well (a team that went 12-4, albeit with some lucky victories), so I'm having a hard time imagining them being worse.



Around the Network

I pretty much agree with Rol.

1. Seahawks
2. 49ers
3. Cardinals
4. Rams (Shame they lost Bradford)



I will give advantage to Cardinals, Larry Fitzgerald needs some breaks going his way. I never got on board with all the Kaepernick hype 2 seasons ago, still feel sorry for Alex smith losing his job in such a manner, and he and Andy Reid are two main factors why I like the Chiefs.

I just think 49ers will be even worse this year. Tough break for Rams, I was going to put them on 34 even before Bradford went down, but now they are sure to remain there.

1. Seattle

2. Arizona

3. San Francisco

4. St. Louis
