My predictions for the 2015-2016 NFL season.
NFC North - Green Bay Packers. Pretty easy pick, even with the loss of Jordy Nelson. The Vikings are a nice sleeper pick and the Lions offense should be really good, but the Packers are head and shoulders above the competition.
NFC East - New York Giants. This could be the most competitive division in the NFC with three teams who have Super Bowl aspirations. I’m going with the Giants because I believe in OBJ, I think Eli will have a strong season, and Tom Coughlin is on the hot seat, which means he always coaches well. The Redskins will suck while the Eagles and Cowboys will be in it until the end.
NFC South - Carolina Panthers. I liked this team a lot more when Kelvin Benjamin was healthy, but they’re still slightly better than every team in the division thanks to their defense. The Falcons will make things tough on them though.
NFC West - Seattle Seahawks. Easy choice here. The 49ers are expected to fall off, the Cardinals lost some key players on defense, and the Rams don’t have enough on offense. The Seahawks are not only the best team in the division, they’re the best team in the conference.
AFC North - Baltimore Ravens. A very competitive division with three teams challenging for the crown. The Steelers offense might end up being the best in the league and the Bengals have been consistently good over the last few seasons, but the Ravens are a well-balanced and well-coached team with just enough weapons on both sides of the ball.
AFC East - New England Patriots. As long as they have Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, they’re going to rule this division. The Dolphins should be able to challenge them a little and the Bills might be sneaky good, but I never bet against B&B.
AFC South - Indianapolis Colts. And it won’t be close. If the Texans had a QB they might make things a little interesting, but they don’t and their defense won’t be able to do everything. The Jaguars and Titans are still in rebuilding mode.
AFC West - Denver Broncos. Peyton Manning isn’t what he once was, but he’s still good and their defense is outstanding. The Chiefs and Chargers will challenge them, but the Broncos have just too much firepower.
NFC Wild Card - Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles. I can’t see anyone in the NFC South threatening here, the Vikings, Lions, and Rams will be in it until the final weeks, but the NFC East rules out.
AFC Wild Card - Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers. Miami can’t take the crown from New England, but they still make the playoffs and the Steelers manage to hold off the Bengals for the final spot.
NFC Title Game - Green Bay Packers over Philadelphia Eagles. Eagles surprise everyone by making it this far, but the Packers win in a shootout.
AFC Title Game - New England Patriots over Denver Broncos. Manning vs. Brady. One last ride.
Super Bowl 50 - New England Patriots over Green Bay Packers. Because we all need that awkward moment between Goodell and Brady.
