These are always fun to read after the season ends to see how dumb we all are. I don't know what the odds might have been this time year if you bet CIN v LAR in the Super Bowl but I bet they were long. Post your predictions here NFCE Eagles - Lots of help for Hurts even if he's reached the top of his game. If he regresses, Philly finishes 3rd. Cowboys - To me, they've lost too much talent on offense Giants - Finish 3rd due to a weak schedule Commanders - A mess NFCN Vikings - My sleeper team this year Packers - Leaning on Rodgers too much Lions - I like the coach and the young talent. Hard to pick between them and CHI for the bottom Bears - Fields seems to be flashing but man he has no help NFCS Bucs - Tom Brady. That is all. Saints - Good defense and several decent skill players on offense Falcons - Many view them as the worst team in the league. They might sneak up on people a little bit. Panthers - This looks rough. Bad coach and weird QB situation. NFCW 49ers - As Lance goes so goes SF. But I love the system and the coach Rams - Still not a Stafford believer and expect a SB hangover or less injury luck. Cardinals - Murray and not much else. I don't get this team Seahawks - My pick for the worst team in the league. Definitely the worst QB situation AFCE: Bills - Despite me being skeptical of The Hype, real hard to pick against them here Dolphins - Tua to Hill is going to be fun to watch Patriots - Jones improves a little but I don't see the play makers here Jets - Are the Jets AFCS Colts - Ryan will be enough here I think Titans - Wouldn't be surprised if Willis takes the starting job here given the lack of offensive weapons Jaguars - Doug Pederson will make a difference in a down division and I think Trevor will improve Texans - This whole franchise seems like a mess. Unless Mills is a diamond in the rough, there's not much here AFCN Ravens - I love Jackson and the team's draft. They held on last year with a million injuries Steelers - I like Mike Tomlin a lot and this looks like a sleeper team to me Bengals - SB losers almost always miss the playoffs and take a huge step back Browns - Are the Browns. Also have no QB AFCW Chiefs - I can't bet against Mahomes and Reid until I see them collapse Chargers - Herbert looks like the real deal and they've shored up their defense. On the other hand, are the Chargers. Broncos - I love Russell Wilson and this spot will be a race between LV and DEN for the best last place finisher in the best division in football Raiders - Someone has to finish last here out of 4 teams that could outright win 3/4 of all the divisions in the league so these guys I guess. Super Bowl: Chiefs v Vikings in a match no one saw coming, just like last year, in a rematch of SB4. Mahomes gets his second ring. I don't think it'll be the Bills because that consensus preseason hype never pans out and someone is gonna get injured or something so I'm outside the box here with a Kirk Cousins redemption year, Justin Jefferson becoming the undisputed #1 receiver in the league, an underrated defense and a weird fluke year where everyone is sleeping on KC, who will bury MIN in the Big Game. Minnesota just has to better than Green Bay here. Bengals will crash and burn and finish .500. I don't think Lance can carry SF but I like the 49ers to make it to the NFCCG again. LAR seem ripe for regression. I don't think Brady or Rodgers can carry a team all the way by themselves anymore. Miami might be a surprise, along with Pittsburgh. Somehow. ^^^^I know all that poo poo up there will be wrong^^^ but this poo poo never goes according to form so I tried to be somewhat unconventional and look for strange outliers within the realm of possibility. Post your own wrong predictions. BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Aug 28, 2022 |

I can see the Ravens getting a huge bounce for sure and I hope Jackson gets his redemption year since I think he's awesome. I like the Chargers pick too and know it's trendy but they always seem to fall short somehow so hard for me to bet against Andy and Patrick. Do the Chargers have a good kicker this year? God drat, the AFCW is rough. The Broncos and Raiders could be legit good teams and still finish last but in any other division, they'd run away with it. Why are you so down on the Steelers? QB? They finish at least 500 every year and I don't see how Brissett leads the Browns to anything. CLE looks like a lock to finish last there to me. PITT moving to a game manager type like Trubisky or putting Pickett in there doesn't seem all that different from what Ben has been for the last 3 years. Also, them going 5-12 or 6-11 would be huge outlier for Tomlin, who is an underrated coach IMO, and has had a winning record there every year going back like a decade. ... Also, can a mod change the thread title to add "2022" in there since I hosed that up? TIA

Impossibly Perfect Sphere posted:Why would you think the Bills are hype? Just cause it never seems to turn out that way is all. I know they're kick rear end but it's rare when the preseason consensus pick wins it all. Picking the final two teams in August is pretty rare so I usually try to find something off the beaten path. Why didn't you post your picks? BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Oct 20, 2022 |

I don't know what the odds might have been this time year if you bet CIN v LAR in the Super Bowl but I bet they were long. Well, sadly, this thread never took off like I expected but let's see how I did anyway. NFCE: loving nailed it NFCN: Nailed this one too NFCS: This one is good. All four teams really close together. Panthers over performed NFCW: Totally whiffed on Seattle, like a lot of people, and underestimated the Rams drop off AFCE: I think I got this one right. Yep. 4 for 4 AFCS: Man was I way off on the Colts. Probably my biggest miss. Jags improved more than I expected. AFCN: Had the Steelers being better than people thought but was way wrong on CINN falling off a cliff AFCW: Had the bottom two teams wrong and was blind sided by the Denver fiasco Overall, not too shabby, especially for me. And my Super Bowl pick is still in play but riding on MINN so...
