2019 NFL
Season Predictions
NFC South
Atlanta
Falcons (10-6)
The
Falcons are a team that can be easy to forget because they don’t know how to
win on a consistent basis. One year they’re in the Super Bowl then the next
they’re trash. Last season they dealt with a lot of injuries from Week 1 on and
it was difficult for them to find any rhythm. I expect them to bounce back this
season and compete for the top spot in one of the toughest divisions in the
league. On offense they have probably the best receiving core led by Julio
Jones who continues to dominate any defense that attempts to cover him. Even if
you triple cover him, if that ball is anywhere near Julio that dude is getting
it! The Falcons have a solid offensive line and if Davonta Freeman can stay
healthy he will add another layer to this offense. On defense they have a
strong secondary, but the front line has some questions. If the Falcons are
able to start the season off hot they will be difficult for the rest of the
division to keep up with.
New Orleans
Saints (10-6)
The
Saints are a team you can’t count out as long as they have Drew Brees at
quarterback and Sean Payton as the head coach. Brees continues to play at a
high level and bring out the best in every player on the offensive side of the
ball. Alvin Kamara will be taking over as the starting running back this season
and will have to carry the load on offense. I believe he will shine in that
role, but my only problem with the Saints is their offensive line. It’s
mediocre at best and could end up being a problem in the long run for both
Brees and Kamara. On the defensive side of the ball Cameron Jordan has the line
on lockdown and has opposing quarterbacks running for their lives. The
secondary has some holes and it will be interesting to see if they’re able to
lock it down for four quarters or end up gassed towards the end.
Carolina
Panthers (8-8)
The
Panthers have not been the same since they lost the Super Bowl a few seasons
ago. Cam Newton is a good quarterback and the offense looks good when he’s
playing well, but unfortunately the dude hasn’t been able to stay healthy.
Christian McCaffrey is a beast of a back, but I’m not sure he can carry the
offense if there is no stability at quarterback if Newton keeps getting injured.
The defense has fallen off the face the Earth and I expect that freefall to
continue this year. I have a feeling it’s going to be an up and down season for
the Panthers.
Tampa Bay
Buccaneers (6-10)
Jameis
Winston has turned out to be a total bust so far for the Bucs. I’m honestly
surprised they ended up keeping him this season because he’s been such a waste.
I don’t believe that gamble will pay off for the Bucs and I wouldn’t be
surprised if he gets benched at some point in the season due to poor play. Even
if Winston wasn’t a garbage pile of a quarterback the offense, overall is trash
and this team has no chance at anything other than a high draft pick in the
2020 draft!
AFC South
Tennessee
Titans (10-6)
Some
team has to win this shit division and the Titans have more promise with their
entire team from top to bottom than everyone else in this horrible, awful,
garbage can division. Starting with their coach Mike Vrabel, in comparison to
the rest of the division he seems like he has the best grasp on his team.
Derrick Henry is a beast of a back and will shoulder the load on offense, but
outside of him the offense is pretty weak. Not much is going on with the
defense either, but like I said this is a garbage division so a mediocre team
can easily win this division.
Houston
Texans (9-7)
The
Texans are just garbage. The only reason why I’m giving them a halfway decent
record is because their division is just the absolute worst and they should get
some wins just for that reason alone. The Texans have never had any direction
as a team, which is why they’re an epic fail year in and year out. It should be
another classic snoozefest for Texans fans this year!
Jacksonville
Jaguars (5-11)
The
Jaguars kicked Blake Bortles ass to the curb and are now starting over at
quarterback with Nick Foles. While Foles filled in quite nice at backup
quarterback in Philly I’m intrigued to see how this is going to go for him as
the starter in Jacksonville. I believe Foles was a product of the system in
Philly and that will be exposed this season in Jacksonville. The only weapon he
has on offense is the running back Leonard Fournette, who is a beast, but is
also injury prone. The Jags defense used to be one of the best in the league,
but fell off horribly last year, and I’m not sure they will be able to bounce
back this season since they will have to carry the load for this team given the
weak ass offensive situation. I’m not expecting much from the Jaguars this
season except for a whole lot of losing!
Indianapolis
Colts (3-13)
Prior
to Andrew Luck’s retirement I had the Colts going to the Super Bowl, after he
retired this team went from first to worst in the division! Luck was the engine
that ran this train and now the Colts season has been derailed and I don’t
believe they have enough time to recover. This season has started off horribly
and I anticipate that’s how the rest of the season will go for them.
