2019 NFL
Season Predictions
NFC North
Minnesota
Vikings (11-5)
The
Vikings are a team everyone is sleeping on because of how poorly they played
last season, but I think a lot of that can be blamed on the injuries to key
players who are now back this year. They have an explosive offense with two of
the best receivers in the league with Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs and, if
Dalvin Cook is able to stay healthy this season he can add an extra layer to
this offense. Kirk Cousins isn’t a horrible quarterback and if all of the
weapons on the offense are healthy he should be able to keep this offense
rolling. On defense they are a bunch of no names the casual fan couldn’t point
out, but they are physical and tough on the defensive side of the ball and
should give any opposing offense nightmares. I think the Vikings are going to
bounce back strong this season and make some noise during the playoffs.
Chicago
Bears (10-6)
The
Bears surprised everyone las season by absolutely dominating the regular
season. I expect them to continue to build off of what they started last
season. Starting with the defense and the beast that is Khalil Mack, he is a
killer on the defensive line and has every quarterback he’s up against running
for their lives! Right behind him there is a strong lockdown secondary that
make it very difficult for any opposing receiver to get open. The Bears on
offense are still pretty weak at the wide receiver position, but have a very
strong offensive line which will help build the ground game. The Bears are a
solid team and should have another strong showing this season led by their
defense which will be one of the best in the league.
Green Bay
Packers (8-8)
I’m
always amused every season when the Packers are the supposed front runner as
one of the top teams in the NFC, when they shouldn’t even be considered one of
the top teams in their own division. Don’t get me wrong Aaron Rodgers is a
great quarterback, but the problem for the Packers over the years has been they
refuse to get him any help at all! They expect him to literally do everything
on offense and that’s impossible! Going into this season this is shaping up to
be Aaron Rodgers worst group of offensive weapons he could possibly receive. He
has a new coach, he has no top wide receiver to be seen, his offensive line is
garbage, and the running back position continues to remain a mystery. Aaron
Rodgers is only getting older and seems to get beat up more and more every
season, and from what I can see that won’t change this season. I have a feeling
the Packers will have a tumultuous season with no consistency at all on offense
or defense.
Detroit
Lions (4-12)
The
Lions have done a good job at wasting the career of Matthew Stafford. It’s been
awhile since he’s had a decent receiver and it’s been an even longer while
since he’s had a decent offensive line or a ground game to turn to. The defense
is mediocre at best and I have a feeling the Detroit Lions of old who ruled the
league as losers have come back for their crown!
AFC North
Pittsburgh
Steelers (12-4)
I
think a lot of people are sleeping on the Steelers because of what went down
with Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown this offseason. I have the opposite
thoughts and believe that getting rid of the both of them will be a blessing in
disguise. It was already proven last season that the Steelers are fine without
Le’Veon Bell because James Conner stepped in and dominated and, I only expect
him to get better this season. Antonio Brown will not be missed. I always
thought that dude was a total cunt! This new wave of player who has to arrive
to training camp in some stupid “look at me” type of fashion has ALWAYS pissed
me off and you are nothing but a diva cunt who is a cancer to your locker room.
So, the loss of Antonio Brown is no loss at all because you’ve gained plenty by
getting his stupid ass out of that locker room. The Steelers offense should do
just fine, it’s the defense where there problems have been over the last couple
of years. Their linebackers are stout and will be tough for any offense they’re
up against. TJ Watt is coming off of a strong season last year and I only
expect him to improve and take on more of a leadership role this season. The
Steelers should dominate the AFC this season!
Cleveland
Browns (10-6)
This
the first time in pretty much ever that the Browns have actual expectations on
them to be a good team. For me, the Browns ain’t shit until they have proven
otherwise. They are building a solid nucleus with the additions through the
draft, free agency and trades, but they have not proven a damn thing. They
should be a good team this year, but I expect them to have some growing pains
along the way. They are a young team with a new coach and no identity has taken
shape as of yet and with all of that I can’t say they are a clear cut favorite
to win their tough division. They should make some noise and compete for a spot
in the playoffs.
Baltimore
Ravens (9-7)
This
year’s Ravens team will be the definition of mediocrity because they don’t have
a lot going on with the offense or defense. Lamar Jackson looks like he has a
promising future as a quarterback, but he’s going to have a tough time behind
that offensive line this season. Then you take a look at his options at wide
receiver and think who the fuck is this guy going to complete a pass to if he
even gets the chance to throw up a prayer? Mark Ingram was a good addition to
the ground game, but there’s always the question of whether or not he can stay
healthy for an entire season. On defense they picked up Earl Thomas who is one
of the best safeties in the game, but has also been having issues with injuries
over the last couple of seasons. The Ravens come into this season with too many
questions at too many positions which usually doesn’t translate well onto the
field, especially in this division.
Cincinnati
Bengals (1-15)
The
Bengals are by far one of the worst teams in the league. I predict they will have
the first pick in next year’s draft because they are going to have a difficult
time finding any wins this season!
