Before the NFL season starts I want to make my predictions.
NFC EAST:
Giants:10-6: It all depends on how this team goes either north or south I am guessing north. There offense will be explosive one of the best in the league. Eli will have a big year in year two of McAdoo. The backfield is crowded but Jennings and newly signed Shane Vereen will lead the way. The wide recievers are great led by Odell beckham Jr and Cruz coming back. The o-line is shaky and inconsistent…Yikes! The defense is…lets say a work in progress. The d-line has potential but can’t seem to stay healthy (JPP?) Hankins is a rising star. The linebackers are weak. Corners are good WHEN HEALTHY. Talking to you prince. Safeties are probably the worst in the NFL and they are dropping like flies. This is a boom or bust year for the giants in likely Tom Coughlin’s last year.
Eagles:11-5: I wasn’t very high on them but they look great. Bradford has to stay healthy but he has a nice oline and Murray to rely on. Agholor is a stud and so is Matthews. I like Ertz but it always seems like “it’s his year!” and he always disappoints. The defense is underrated with a great front seven. Fletcher cox is a beast. Conner barwin, Mychel Kendricks,Kiko alonzo, and demeco Ryans, those guys will be flying around the field. Byron Maxwell was overpaid and the secondary lost Nate Allen but they will be better. Fly eagles fly
Cowboys:8-8: Don’t get the hype. Romo always had his best years when he had a running game. Murray is gone. Dez is great player and got his money. Witten is old now. The o-line is the best. The defense is a little concerning. They were covered up because of demarco murray but he isnt there anymore. Gregory is going to help and so will hardy. The front four is solid. Linebackers are concerning with Rolando out four games. The secondary is a mess. carr, Byron Jones, and Morris claiborne as your corners is terrifying. The safeties aren’t great but are okay with Wilcox and Church. The boys are going to disappoint.
Redskins: 4-12: Just a mess. RGIII needs a new coach in where it seems like jay gruden has given up on him. The rest of the offense is good with some weapos.(Reed,Morris,Jackson,Garcon) The o-line is dreadful outside of stud Trent williams. The defense is underrated with Paea and Terrance Knighton. Kerrigan is very good. The Secondary is bad but Culliver will help. Good luck trying to guard odell and Dez. Not much else to say. Expect major shakeup in washington in Jay Gruden’s LAST season.
NFC NORTH
Packers: 12-4: Aaron Rodgers. Good o-line. Eddie Lacy. Randall Cobb. Improving Defense. They will be fine even though Jordy Nelson is a major blow.
Vikings: 10-6: I love teddy bridgewater looks great in preseason. Adrian Peterson is a beast and he is back. There wide outs are okay. The o-line is a weakness and Loadholt gone is a big loss. The defense is stout with having young studs all over. Rhodes is a beast. Barr griffen etc. Zimmer is a genius and the Vikings are playoff bound.
Lions:7-9: They would be in the playoff hunt but the fairley, Suh loss on defense compared to the addition of ngata is not nearly enough. Don’t think meagtron will stay healthy so they will be a team that will Definitely decrease from last year.
Bears: 4-12: This team is a mess. bad chemistry with bad defense and underachieving quarterback=top 10 pick in draft.
NFC SOUTH:
Panthers: 9-7: With Cam Luke Kuechly and that defense they will be good once again.
Saints:6-10: The team is overall better but they have relied on the pass game for years and Jimmy graham is gone so…..
Falcons:8-8: The team is one defense player away from being who they were a couple of years ago. Julio Jones primed for a big year. Desmond trufant is a stud.
Buccaneers. 5-11: They have a franchise QB now. He has two studs to throw to in Evans and Jackson. McCoy and David are insane on the defense. Another team that is a couple of years away.
NFC West
Seahawks: 12-4: Everyones back…They are big time.
Rams:7-9: There defense is really good. And if Nick Foles is 2013 they will be playoff bound.
Cardinals:9-7: Defense will decrease with bowles,crow gone. Offense will be better but the record won’t be.
49ers: 3-13: everyone is gone on defense. They will be very bad this year.
If you didn’t realize I watch the NFC East a lot more
