NFL 2013 Season Predictions
NFC North
Chicago Bears (10-6)
The Bears are one of
my surprise picks for the season, they have a new coach, which means they will
be a completely different team and I think it will be for the best. They also
will no longer have Brian Urlacher leading the defense, but I don’t think it will
have a major effect since Lance Briggs is still there and the new rookie Jon
Bostic already looks like the future at middle linebacker for The Bears. The
defense and special teams should be pretty good for The Bears, it’s the offense
that has always been their problem, but the good thing is Jay Cutler is playing
the final year of his contract so he has to put up or shutup if he wants to get
paid next year, so this should work in The Bears advantage. Mark Trestmen, the
new coach, is an offensive genius and I think will help turn around the offense
and turn The Bears into a contender immediately!
Green Bay Packers (10-6)
The Packers didn’t
really do much of anything this offseason except for lose Greg Jennings, but I
don’t think that’s a big deal since I think he is past his prime and spent most
of last year injured anyways, so The Packers have proven they can survive
without him. Aaron Rodgers is still a great quarterback so I expect him to have
another good season, but they didn’t do anything to improve the offensive line
or running game which will put all of the pressure on Rodgers. The defense is
getting older and this is going to be a tough division to win so with The
Packers not making any improvements I feel like it will be tough for them to
win the division, but should be a threat all season and make this an
interesting division race.
Detroit Lions (9-7)
The Lions have a lot
of talent, but I don’t think their coaching staff is good enough to combine all
that talent and make it work in a winning way. The offense can score a ton of
points and so can the defense but for some reason this team has never been able
to take it to the next level to become a legitimate contender for The Super
Bowl. Calvin Johnson has proven to be one of the best receivers in the game and
Reggie Bush should be a good addition to the team, but nothing really stands
out about this team to make me believe they will even make the playoffs.
Minnesota Vikings (6-10)
All The Vikings have
going for them is Adrian Peterson on offense and Jared Allen on defense outside
of that this team is HORRIBLE! Christian Ponder will not be leading them
anywhere except to the couch come playoff time!
AFC North
Baltimore Ravens (11-5)
Everybody has been
worried about The Ravens this offseason for some reason just because they lost
a bunch of their veterans to retirement or free agency, etc, but truthfully I
don’t think they have lost a step at all because the guys they lost in the
offseason are all basically old dudes who are past their prime. The Ravens
still have their coach, running back, quarterback and on top of that I think
their defense improved with the addition of Elvis Dumerville, so tell me what
it is again that The Ravens should be upset about? It may be only preseason but
The Ravens have looked really good, especially on offense, the offensive line
looks really solid and Ray Rice looks like a beast, I can see this guy leading
the league in rushing this season as well as The Ravens winning their division
and being a dominant team throughout the season and making yet another run at
The Super Bowl.
Cincinnati Bengals (10-6)
The Bengals are one
of my surprise picks for this year, I think the duo of Andy Dalton and AJ Green
is going to be out of control. The two of them are going to be tough for any
defense to defend and I think they will not only shred up the defense but score
a lot of points! The Bengals defense was one of the best in the league at
creating turnovers last year and I think will only improve this year. So with
the combination of a high scoring offense and a good defense The Bengals should
be a tough opponent and should be competitive come playoff time.
Pittsburgh Steelers (8-8)
There really aren’t
too many positive things I can say about The Steelers going into this year.
They lost their top receiver Mike Wallace to free agency, the defense is
getting old and the offensive line is shit as usual! Ben Roethlisberger will be
lucky if he makes it through all 16 games this regular season because there
ain’t nobody blocking for him, which is typical for The Steelers over the last
couple of seasons, so you’d think they’d figure that one out but they haven’t!
On top of that they have NO running game, I’d be willing to bet a million
dollars The Steelers end up in last place for rushing yards this year because
they are really hurting at the running back position. This is going to be a
rough season for The Steelers.
Cleveland Browns (4-12)
As usual The Browns
will be one of the worst teams in the league, no surprises here even to their
own fans.
