NFL Season Predictions:

AFC East
NE 12-4 They're still the class of the division, the defense will regress but they got Brady, BB, Gronk and others.
Miami 10-6 I could see them being anywhere between 7-9 and 11-5, think the addition of Suh takes them to the playoffs.
Buffalo 7-9 Taylor not there yet, they could surprise if the OLine creates holes in the run game.
NYJ 5-11 Think they will be in every game but Fitzpatrick makes way too many mistakes and he will cost them a bunch of close games.

AFC North
Baltimore 11-5 Best OLine, Flacco is solid and their D as well. They might miss Torry Smith his PI yards were valuable
Pittsburgh 9-7 Don't trust their defense, the O should be fine and perhaps great.
Cleveland 7-9 Good Oline and defense, reasonable QB play and maybe they challenge for a WC
Cincinnati 5-11 Think the wheels finally fall off in Cincy.

AFC South
Indy 12-4 Stacked their team, Luck will be the top MVP candidate all season. Not sure they have what it takes in the playoffs though.
Houston 9-7 Hoyer will help, while the Titans and Jags are still poor they won't be gimmies anymore, they had a joke schedule last season.
Tennessee 5-11 They revamped their roster but long ways to go. Not sure what to expect really.
J'Ville 4-12 They'll improve again, Bortles should be better but they have such a losing mentality, they were mostly in blow outs last season, they should have closer games this year and that's a step in the right direction.

AFC West
Denver 10-6 Peyton's last year, he will regress numbers wise for sure, but their D could be top 5.
KC 10-6 I trust Reid and Smith has looked decent in pre season.
SD 9-7 Still have Rivers but their D looks porous.
Oakland 4-12 Carr isn't any good, 5.5 ypc is just terrible, but their D will keep them in games.

NFC East
Philly 13-3 Think it all comes together for them this season, thir D is underrated as well.
Dallas 11-5 Still got the OLine and a great offense. Think the D will be better in the secondary but they will be run on.
NYG 5-11 Defense is a mess, the offense will put up numbers but they can't run.
Wash 4-12 They'll regtet going to Cousins or not so they can go for the #1 pick in the draft.

NFC North
GB 11-5 They'll miss Nelson but Rodgers is too good.
Minnesota 8-8 Don't think we are there yet, think next year is a playoff season but I expect the OLine to struggle some and Teddy to struggle a little as well, DCs have a year of film on him. But I think we improve by seasons end.
Chicago 7-9 Fox brings some stability back to Chicago. Cutler might quietly have a good season.
Detroit 6-10 They'll miss Suh, OLine is poor as well.

NFC South
Atlanta 10-6 Their offense will do there thing, their D is much improved.
NO 9-7 They'll miss Graham and their D is ok
Carolina 6-10 Cam is their offense and their D is declining
Tampa 3-13 They got serious OLine issues not good for Winston

NFC West
Seattle 12-4 Defense still there and Wilson will grow as a QB once more. They do have OLine issues and with a couple of injuries they could fall back to 10-6 or even 9-7
San Francisco 9-7 They still got pieces, Kaepernick improves some and their D is decent.
St Louis 7-9 Their defense should terrorize teams. Offensively they'll be average.
Arizona 6-10 Their OLine is there undoing again.

@ San Francisco L 20-17, 49ers at home will look to put there offseason turmoils behind them. Think their D shows up and snuffs out a late drive.
Detroit W 24-21 Lions lost something with Suh and they won't dominate us, the OLine specifically like last season at home.
San Diego W 31-24 Teddy throws 3 TDs has his best game of the season, Norv gives good insight on how to beat Rivers.
@ Denver L 31-16 Broncos D too strong in Mile High especially when they jump to an early lead.
BYE
Kansas City W 24-13 Off the bye AD has a big game controls things.
@ Detroit L 23-20 Lose a close one, but very important game, this might be the decider for the wild card.
@ Chicago L 27-24 We never win there, seriously never happens.
St. Louis W 24-6 We totally shut down their offense, and AD does his thing on the ground.
@ Oakland W23-9 Defense on a roll, destroy Carr and while Cooper has a good game they get only FGs
Green Bay L 34-31 Teddy goes toe to toe with Rodgers but Rodgers has the ball last.
@ Atlanta L 24-21 OT Tough loss at Atlanta but really this game can go either way
Seattle L 20-17 Another close loss, team plays well but falls short.
@ Arizona L Lose another close one on a short week going cross country. Could easily be a win if Palmer is out which I definitely could see happening behind that OLine.
Chicago W 34-13 Take out our lsoing streak against Cutler, AD goes off.
NY Giants W 38-24 Offense in high gear vs terrible defense, we rack up 500 yds
@ Green Bay L 24-17 Another solid performance as Rodgers needs a late TD to secure playoff positioning

I have us here at 7-9, in the predictions above I have 8-8 to balance out the W/L for the NFL. I see plenty of close losses, remains to be seen if the team has what it takes to win those games, Vikes being a young team I err on the side of caution with those "50/50" games (e.g. Atl, Az, @Chi, Det, SF).

Not sold on Matt Ryan, and I don't see why Palmer can't get hurt again. I don't recall him ever winning a playoff game, and I remember him getting hurt early on in a playoff game against the Steelers where he probably knew his team was going to lose. I don't think Palmer has the makeup to be a good playoff QB. He can give you decent early season play, then usually fades, and does nothing in the playoffs. II think St. Louis or SF could unseat Seattle (teams coming off SB losses are many times bad. I think Fisher is a good coach, and though the 49ers have a lot of holes, Kap might do better in a new system.

I expect the Bears to be the worst team in the NFL, but maybe they surprise and Fox gets them to play well in the regular season. I expect them to miss Marshall, so Jeffries will probably end up getitng hurt, so they win 3 or 4 games tops. The Lions should go backwards with last year being a little bit of a fluke and Suh gone.

The Vikes could challenge the Pack, but I think Rodgers is too good, the Vikes fall a tad short. I have the Vikes losing to the Packers backups in the last game, but I am rethinking that, and the Vikes with Teddy should probably WIN that game, especially if the playoffs are on the line, so the Vikes go 10-6, a WC berth. The Packers should win 11 or 12 games. It sucks they got Jones, but he'll probably be more depth, as I expect Adams to take up the slack.

Some of those prediction posts looked like alot of work.

The one team that I think will be a surprise in the AFC is Buffalo. Ok before you laugh hear me out.

Rex Ryan is a coach that can a pull a team together and overachieve. His methods are not sustainable over time though.
He is a very good defensive coach and the Bills have a fantastic defense to work with.
On offense they have some very good weapons. Tyrod Taylor as their qb is a bit of a reach but if he plays well I think the Bills will be tough to beat.
