2014 NFL Predictions

Ever since I was a little kid I've always made predictions for the major sporting leagues (I count the CFL as major league in this case).

So feel free to take a look at these picks and laugh now, trust me it's funnier looking back at them in about 6 months.

Predicted Regular season standings


AFC East
1. New England-- Another year on top, but the gap is closing.
2. NY Jets-- At this point I'm more worried about their secondary than their offence
3 Miami- If their offense improves, might push for a wildcard
4. Buffalo- Unless Watkins is the new Megatron, their trade with Clev. will look incredibly stupid

North

1. Cincinnati- I like this team in the regular season. Playoffs though...
2.  *Baltimore- A bounce back year for the Ravens.  
3. Pittsburgh- If there's a team that reeks 8-8, it's this one.
4. Cleveland- Wouldn't be surprised if they traded Manziel with 2 first rounders in 15..it is Cleveland remember, and I'm sure Jerry would listen.

South

1. Indy-- Andrew Luck is going to have an MVP type season
2. *Houston- I'm predicting Mallett takes over by Week 6
3. Jacksonville- Next year could be the Jags breakout year.
4. Tennessee- Possible landing spot for Winston or Mariota if they declare.

West

1. Denver- Probably the best record in the regular season.
2. Oakland- Only reason I think this, is because Carr is starting at QB and not Schaub.
3. San Diego- Not sold on the Chargers D
4. Kansas City-  Let's see how KC handles a tougher schedule.


NFC

East
1.Philadelphia- The Eagles won't miss a beat. 
2.Washington- Their offence is going to be good this year..not sure about their D.
3. NY Giants- The Giants are going to break the trend being good every second year.
4. Dallas- How is this D going to be better when they got rid of their best player.

North 

1.Green Bay- Only question I have on this team is their secondary.
2.*Chicago- The D is going to be better, the offence will still be good
3 Detroit- Should've made the playoffs last year. Not going to this year again
4.Minnesota- Wouldn't be surprised if AP is traded after this season.

South

1.New Orleans- Best record in the NFC
2. Tampa Bay- A sleeper pick of mine, but I like their offence and their D will be a lot better
3. Carolina- Unless Cam Newton is the MVP, I can't see a return trip to the playoffs
4. Atlanta- Defense wins championships, and this isn't even close to a championship D.

West

1. San Fran- If they stay afloat early, the returns of Bowman and Aldon will spark this team
2. *Seattle- I like Russell Wilson, would cheer for the guy on probably any other team
3. Arizona- Carson Palmer isn't a playoff QB
4. St. Louis- Shaun Hill and Case Keenum ain't taking you to the playoffs in this division.
