My 2020 NFL Fearless Predictions.
Posted: Mon Aug 24, 2020 6:49 pm
NFC NORTH
Green Bay Packers: 10-6 The Packers are in desperate need of help at WR... they didn't draft a single one. But they traded up in the 1st round and drafted a QB. I'm thinking the Packers have gotten a little sick and tired of Aaron Rodgers bullshit.
Minnesota Vikings: 10-6 The Vikes were in "win now" mode. Then they traded away one of the best WR's in the league and purged the defence. They had a pretty good draft, but what the hell is the plan here?
Detroit Lions: 8-8 Hey Detroit, how's that $140 million you gave Matthew Stafford working out for you?
Chicago Bears: 6-10 Imagine thinking that Nick Foles is the answer to all your QB problems.
NFC SOUTH
New Orleans Saints: 12-4 I've been on the Saints gravy train for 3 years and I'm not stopping now. I see no reason why this team can't go to the Super Bowl. (unless of course, they get ANOTHER ridiculously bad call from a retarded ref!)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 10-6 Calm the fuck down everyone! The Bucs are not going to the Super Bowl! Jeeeze.......
Atlanta Falcons: 9-7 The Falcons are moving in the right direction and Matt Ryan can still play. But his INT rate is a big concern.
Carolina Panthers: 5-11 I like Teddy Bridgewater, but this team can't put the personnel around him that New Orleans did.
NFC EAST
Dallas Cowboys: 11-5 On paper this team is stacked and should cruise to the NFC EAST title. But the Cowboys have been snakebit the last few years. They've got bad karma.
Philadelphia Eagles: 9-7 Carson Wentz is as frigile as a QB gets, and that O-line looks like a sieve. They play 5 of their last 7 on the road, so if they want a chance they'll need to win early.
Washington Redskins: 5-11 They drafted a generational talent in Chase Young, and Terry McLaurin shows flashes of brilliance... but the rest of this team looks like a snoozefest.
New York Giants: 2-14 A rookie Head Coach. A 2nd year QB. A shit-load of young players. A brutal schedule. The Giants can start thinking about that 1st overall draft pick they're going to have in April.
NFC WEST
San Francisco 49ers: 11-5 This is pretty much the same team from last year. But they got exposed in the Super Bowl and everyone has the tape.
Seattle Seahawks: 10-6 How long can Russell Wilson keep carrying this team on his shoulders? No other single player in the NFL is more important to a team than Russell Wilson is to the Seattle Seahawks.
Los Angeles Rams: 8-8 It's hard to believe that these guys were in a Super Bowl 2 years ago.
Arizona Cardinals: 8-8 Kyler Murray is going to be a star in the NFL. Watching him play I'm reminded of Steve Young with a touch of Randall Cunningham.
AFC NORTH
Baltimore Ravens: 15-1 The Ravens got better in the off-season and then drew the leagues easiest schedule. They'll spend the 2020 season breaking all the records they set last year.
Pittsburgh Steelers: 11-5 Solid, well rounded. And they improved the defense. They also have a rediculously easy 2nd half schedule.
Cleveland Browns: 9-7 After years of high first round draft picks and top tier free agent signings the Browns will somehow manage to miss the playoffs. Again.
Cincinnati Bengals: 5-11 The Bengals are doing it right. Rebuild through the draft. Slow and steady. The wins will come.
AFC SOUTH
Indianapolis Colts: 10-6 A creampuff first half schedule should allow them to jump out in front in the AFC South early. But make no mistake, Phillip Rivers is not the saviour of this team. He had better teams with the Chargers and he couldn't pull it off.
Tennessee Titans: 9-7 They played the roll of giant killer in the playoffs last year. But don't expect that over 16 games.
Houston Texans: 7-9 Worst. Off-season. Ever.
Jacksonville Jaguars: 3-13 It's going to get ugly. It's going to get ugly fast. And it's going to stay that way.
AFC EAST
New England Patriots: 10-6 When Tom Brady was suspended for 4 games the Patriots won 3 of them using 2 different QBs. Never count out "The Hoodie". He game plans better than any Head Coach in NFL history.
Buffalo Bills: 10-6 There are no glaring weaknesses. But Josh Allen needs some seasoning. He's reckless.
Miami Dolphins: 7-9 Yeah, the Dolphins got better in the off season. But did they get 4 or 5 more wins better? Not a chance.
New York Jets: 6-10 The Jets gotta be the Jets.
AFC WEST
Kansas City Chiefs: 12-4 This is pretty much the same team that won the Super Bowl last year... with one glaring exeption. Their #1 RB is gone and will be replaced with a rookie who has never played an NFL game. That gives me pause for concern. Good thing they're in a weak division.
Denver Broncos: 8-8 I've seen nothing in Drew Lock that makes me think he's anything beyond a game manager. But that defense should keep them in most games.
Las Vegas Raiders: 8-8 Is the Derek Carr experiment over yet?
Los Angeles Chargers: 4-12 A rookie QB with a bunch of rookie RB's... Let's hope that defense can hold up. They're going to be on the field a lot.
