Yes, I know. There’s a lot to take in here. Matt Nagy, don’t mess this up. Start Justin Fields sooner rather than later. Will it take an ugly loss for that to happen? Maybe. Wouldn’t that lessen the Bears’ chances to win the AFC North? Well, yeah. Justin Fields will change this offense for the better. Hell, they were 8-8 the past two years with Mitch Trubisky/Nick Foles!
This is more of a disbelief in Aaron Rodgers and his relationship with the Green Bay Packers. He has a foot out the door. I don’t buy the “one last ride” BS. Aaron Rodgers has a foot out the door, and I’ll call a spade a spade. He is a diva. Green Bay didn’t make any moves to want to keep Rodgers in town, and he’ll have an attitude to reflect that. Also, Green Bay’s star LT David Bakhtiari is out for the first six weeks of the season with an ACL injury, a big blow to that offensive line.
Apart from my NFC North Predictions, the rest feels like chalk. I love the Matt Stafford move to Los Angeles. Sean McDermott has been working with the equivalent of a wet rag at QB and made it to the Super Bowl. Give him the arm, experience, and will to win that Matt Stafford possesses? Division Champions.
The AFC North Crown feels like a coin-flip in 2021. We saw come playoffs how outmatched Pittsburgh was against Cleveland, and Big Ben is not getting any younger. Baltimore has so many injuries that their once deep roster is weakening by the day.
Kansas City got exposed on the biggest stage last season. Their offensive line dominated by Tampa – and that really was the entire game. The Chiefs addressed that issue, bulked up their line and still have the best QB in the NFL. This makes me much more confident in Patrick Mahomes having yet another insane statistical year, leading to a #1 seed and an MVP.
Nothing made me more happy this offseason than seeing Jameis Winston getting the starting role with the Saints. He was the best QB on that roster since he joined the team. I know Michael Thomas is on the PUP list to start the season, but with the dynamic back that is Alvin Kamara along with the New Orleans defense, the Saints will snag a playoff spot.
Super Bowl Prediction:
Kansas City Chiefs def. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Boring, right? After everything I spewed onto this website, all I’m giving you is a rematch and the second ring for Patrick Mahomes?
If you’ve read this far, I’m surprised you wanted to spoil the entire season. It’s a heavy burden to hold, knowing the future of the NFL, but somebody has got to do it.
