Outside of the 16-0 prediction, I don't necessary disagree with the overall division winners

I don't see them going 16-0. They'll lose a game no one thinks they should lose

If the Eagles finish 3rd in the NFC East then they should fire dougie and howie regardless of record. They are spending so much money, plus Wentz is supposed to take a big step forward this year. No excuses left at all.

Browns with them 4 wins though!
Tacks are not going 12-4. Win division? Maybe but not 12-4
LOL @ AFC East
i'll take 8-8 from my Jags, lol would love the Colts 5-11
Little talked about issue with the Colts this off season: Luck has not thrown a single pass this off season after shoulder surgery
Seems like a big deal but no one is discussing it

Almost to the prophecy
I could see them having that good of a record or something along those lines?
Offensively, they have one of the better RB duos in Murray and Henry,
They have a top 5 TE in Walker
They drafted Corey Davis who might be able to finally give Marcus help.
As long Mariotta doesn't die, they could do that well with their offense.
if y'all can have Dilfer level of QB play, y'all will walk the division obviously. But we will have to see on that obviously

Food for thought: Marcus Mariota has already had more injuries (3) that led to games missed than most of these QBs.
Did they fix their secondary? Depending on a single rookie WR to fix the passing game? In week 17 last year the Texans 2nd and 3rd string defense gave them all they could handle.

Jesus, I forget how badly the Titans let Marcus die like that.
They don't need Davis to be all pro year one. They just need him to not be completely garbage and make it so that the forward pass is still an option and ground and pound to victory.

Hope the Jets actually go 1-15 (their 1 win coming against the Pats thanks). Darnold pls.

North is gonna be a sight to see
Ravens don't make the playoffs again, I can see a major change being made, and it's either going to be Harbaugh or Flacco exiting
Bengals don't make the playoffs again, Marvin's definitely gone
Browns, Hue and Sashi only get to go 1-15 once. At least one of them being gone looks probable unless BaeG's prophecy is fulfilled

Just trying to trigger YH
Microsoft has no control over who EA puts on the cover of their game.
So outside the division winners the rest of the league is going 159-225. Parity.
LOL @ AFC East
When are the Texans getting their first thug?
Dallas wont let us have any. Inevitable Cowboy Super Bowl run incoming

Unreal. Can scarcely believe that is true

Falcons will be lucky to go 8-8 much less win the division.
Overcoming the largest Super Bowl choke of all time on top of the Super Bowl loser hangover is going to be impossible
Dallas is hard for me to figure out. Best offensive line in football and just a complete team in general but now it's Dak's second year as a starter. Feels like a lot of rookies regress in their second year once everyone has film.
Edit: thinking it over, those are lazy predictions in general. Isn't that just keeping literally every division winner from last year more or less? I don't remember 100% off the top of my head though.
Guy makes $500k a year and shoplifts from a convenience store.
He is then stupid enough to miss his court appearance.
Lucky is the Cowboy whose dog was kidnapped.
Love ya wienke, but your reasoning on the Falcons and Cowboys regressing is equally as lazy as those predictions.

Jets will Bledsoe Brady this year and Jimmy G will lead the Patriots to greatness for the next decade

Jesus..
Ask Peyton if he wants to go one more time because that's ridiculous
I can't pick the Giants because Eli is going to die behind that line like last year.
The Racists appear no better than last year on paper.
Philly could surprise us, but I'm not expecting anything yet.
So Dallas repeats.
As long as Dak takes care of the football and Zeke doesn't die, I can't make myself pick against them.
I wanna agree with you on the Atlanta logic, but who steps up to seize the division? Carolina just nuked their front offense and there is still some questions defensively, the Saints eternally have questionable defense in comparison to the rest of the division. Sure the Bucs could do it, but Jameis could still die behind that offensive line.
Atlanta on paper should win the division from the fighting DMs in the end.

Well I can't top Mech's Cheerleader post without getting banned I guess someone else will have to make the new thread.
This is just ridiculous at this point
Since I've been doubting the Cowboys I'll give a reason for why I think they'll regress. They're still a playoff team, but they're playing a harder schedule so naturally that'll happen. Going from a 4th place schedule to 1st replaces the 9ers and the Bucs with the Packers and the Falcons, and then we have the Seahawks, Rams, Chiefs, Broncos, and Cards as the conference games. Those are some tough defenses.
The Cowboys OL should be able to handle the loss of Leary and Free, Collins is a mauler in the run game and he's going to his natural tackle spot. I'm not too worried about him not playing up to potential. The LG is a question mark, but 3 All Pros and Collins can make up for that. But it seems like they don't have a ton of depth, an injury couold really derail things. Then, their secondary has been depleted and replaced. I know the players they lost weren't All Stars, but still rookies take time to adjust. I still think the Cowboys should get to 10+ wins, but I think the NFC East is going to be a lot closer than last year. It's really up for grabs.
I could write up the same post about the Eagles too so it's not like they're gonna take it but still
